== Devolution ==
So here's a question before the episode airs: do we officially label Ash as having Pichu due to the upcoming De-evolution of Pikachu for a bit? I mean I'd go for it, but I'm no mod.

--[[User:KrspaceT|KrspaceT]] ([[User talk:KrspaceT|talk]]) 14:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
::It would probably be right, I think it will count as a catch. Then it becomes a kind of retcon.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 02:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
:::Won't count as a "capture", as it's not an entirely new Pokemon, it's still his Pikachu. And yes, the devolution would probably be noted.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:48, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
::So with Pichu, Dragonair, Dratini, Haunter, and Gastly listed here, does that mean this episode takes the slot of (I believe) episode 2 as the episode with Ash registering the most new Pokemon to his ownership (5)? --[[User:KrspaceT|KrspaceT]] ([[User talk:KrspaceT|talk]]) 13:32, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
:::If you mean different species, yes. But in terms of individual Pokémon, [[EP035]] definitely still holds the record. And about the devolution--I'd mark them as "temporary" on [[Ash Ketchum|his character page]]. Hope I helped! [[User:GalarChampionAverie|Champion Averie]], signing off! ([[User talk:GalarChampionAverie|Need anything?]]) 00:58, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Is this episode the first appearance of Arceus in the main series? Don't remember him appearing in DP.

'''Sandy''' (Japanese: '''ナギサ''' ''Nagisa'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Lana}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and her third overall.

==History==
===As a wild Pokémon===
[[File:Sandy uncut hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Sandy with its hair uncut]]
Sandy first appeared in {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 1|the first episode}} of the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] shorts. It was exploring in the streets of a town, only to run foul of a {{p|Houndour}} when it stole its food. It managed to escape Houndour, and after seeing the ocean, it set sail on a boat. It reappeared in {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 2|the second episode}} of the segment, where it fell off the boat. However, it was rescued by a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mantine}}, which took Eevee on its back so it could bring it to the shore.

In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 3|the third episode}} of the segment, Eevee and Mantine decided to try [[Mantine Surf]]ing on a nearby wave. While it initially kept getting knocked off whenever Mantine did a flip, Eevee eventually learned how to time its jumps with Mantine's flips, allowing it to stay on Mantine's back. At the end of {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 4|the fourth episode}} of the segment, Eevee arrived in [[Alola]], where it said its farewells to Mantine and proceeded to explore the island. It first chased after a {{p|Wimpod}} before eating some [[Nanab Berry|Nanab Berries]].

In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 5|the fifth episode}} of the segment, Eevee encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}' Pokémon for the first time and befriended them. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 6|the sixth episode}}, Eevee played with them at the beach and even helped knock some Berries down from a tree to share with them. At sunset, the other Pokémon returned to their respective Trainers, while Eevee sadly returned to its impromptu home under a tree trunk to sleep.

In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', Eevee wanted to see its new friends again, so it wandered around [[Hau'oli City]], and eventually ended up getting chased by an {{alo|Persian}}. After being rescued by [[Lana's Popplio]], both ended up falling into a river and washed up on the Hau'oli City Beachfront, where they encountered {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]]. Tupp and Rapp began fighting over Eevee, as the former wanted Eevee to make him popular with girls while the latter found Eevee to be cute. They were stopped when {{an|Lana}} and her friends arrived. With its newly-learned {{m|Surf}}, Popplio created a platform of water for Eevee to jump on, allowing it to use a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}} and send the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s blasting off. After some encouragement from Ash and {{an|Mallow}}, Lana asked Eevee if it wanted to join her team, which it happily accepted. Eevee was [[Nickname|named]] Sandy and {{pkmn2|caught}} in a {{ball|Dive}}. After returning home and introducing Sandy to her family, Lana gave Sandy a haircut, cutting its long bangs to a shorter length resembling her own hair. This got rid of the hair that kept blocking its vision, much to Sandy's pleasure.
[[File:Lana and Sandy.png|250px|thumb|Sandy and Lana]]
===With Lana===
In [[SM117]], Sandy joined Lana and her classmates during their two-day trip to [[Malie City]]. Soon after their arrival, Sandy started curiously exploring its surroundings and even absentmindedly tried to cross a road, requiring {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Shaymin}} to save it from getting hit by a car. During the group's visit to [[Malie Garden]], Sandy let [[Ash's Meltan]] ride on its back. Later, when Mallow's hair ornament was blown away by the wind and Shaymin chased after it, Sandy and Meltan followed it. After Sandy and Meltan helped Shaymin recover the hair ornament, the three Pokémon were imprisoned by {{TRT}}. The metal cage was too sturdy for Sandy's {{m|Tackle}} to break through, but thanks to Meltan's ability to eat metal, the three Pokémon were able to get out. Team Rocket then sent out their Pokémon, and Sandy started battling [[James's Mareanie]], but wound up being {{status|poison}}ed by her {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. However, Lana, Ash, and Mallow intervened, while Shaymin healed Sandy of its poison. Following this, Meltan and Sandy were able to defeat Mareanie with a combination of {{m|Headbutt}} and Double-Edge.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Lana Brionne Surf.png|250px|thumb|left|Sandy riding {{TP|Lana|Brionne}}'s {{m|Surf}} wave]]
Sandy is adventurous and gluttonous, traits that often got it into trouble, such as when it ate a Houndour's food without permission, angering the Houndour into chasing it off. Sandy is also extremely playful, like when it enjoyed falling into the ocean after falling off Mantine when it was [[Mantine Surf]]ing. However, it is also easily scared as well, such as when it ran from a Houndour and later when it found itself lost at sea.

Sandy is particularly playful towards new Pokémon, but prone to roughhousing in the process, greeting friends old and new with a hearty {{m|Tackle}}. As a result, it tends to get into trouble. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 4|the fourth episode}} of the segment, it chased after a {{p|Wimpod}} despite it actually being scared. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 5|the fifth episode}} of the segment, Sandy cuddled a {{p|Pyukumuku}}, inadvertently angering it into attacking.

Sandy and {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}, while it was a Popplio, quickly became best friends after meeting each other, and Sandy appears to look up to it like an older sibling. In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', it was seen enthusiastically mimicking Popplio as it was training with [[Ida]]'s {{p|Primarina}}, singing along with the master and its disciple. It even became friends with the Pokémon owned by its Trainer's friends. Sandy quickly became loyal to Lana and bonded with her right away, after she helped protect it from Team Skull.

Sandy cares for its friends even in dire situations, such as changing to a slow pace so that it can run beside Popplio as they ran away from a {{tc|Madame}}'s {{p|Persian}}, Pershie. Also, when its friend {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mantine}} and the Poké Ride {{p|Mantine}} were captured by Team Rocket in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', it was the first to rush in and help. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Sandy was revealed to love the taste of [[Poni Island]] {{wp|daikon}}. Sandy also loves the ocean and enjoys playing in it no matter what the activity. Sandy is very curious and absentminded, to the point where it was almost hit by a car in [[SM117]] while attempting to cross a road, as well as rushing in the middle of an Eevee procession and mistaking a {{p|Swablu}} statue for the actual Pokémon.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
* Sandy wears a hairstyle similar to the ones that can be given to the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Sandy is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to be kept in a {{ball|Dive}}, after [[Ash's Totodile]].
* Sandy's capture marks the longest duration between one of [[Ash's friends]]' first and second captures, taking 99 episodes.

{{spoilers}}


==Plot==
{{an|Mallow}} notices {{an|Lana}}'s glumness and asks about it. Lana admits that her twin sisters, [[Harper and Sarah]], have spoken nonstop about going to a haunted house. The class are intrigued by the idea just as {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} spots {{p|Mimikyu|Mimikins}} and [[Acerola]] through a doorway. {{Ash}} officially introduces Acerola, who decided to stop by while she delivered a book from the {{ci|Malie}} Library, to {{ashcl}}. {{an|Lillie}} notices Mimikins's strange floating and {{Shiny|peculiar color}}, which Acerola explains is because her Mimikyu is an actual ghost. Ash asks Acerola if she knows of any haunted houses, she replies no but suggests the group just make their own instead. [[Samson Oak|Principal Oak]] walks in at the right time and suggests that the school would be a perfect venue for a haunted house.

Ash and his friends spend the afternoon setting up the haunted house attraction. The night settles in, and Principal Oak remains on campus to assist the students if needed. Meanwhile Lana has brought Harper and Sarah along to enjoy the haunted house experience, with {{Rotom}} as their guide. Ash and his friends rush inside to fulfill the twins' expectations. Sophocles watches from the surveillance as Rotom and the twins make their way through a hallway. At his command, Mallow creates a fog to give the area an eerie feel while Lillie controls a {{p|Pyukumuku}} on a line to imitate a ghost. Unfortunately the twins are unfazed by the supposed ghost and go on to touch Pyukumuku who then punches Rotom. As the twins make their way down a fleet of stairs, four ghosts appear, which are actually Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} in disguise. Harper and Sarah scream in enjoyment as the quartet of ghosts chase after them. The pursuit soon ends after Ash steps on Pikachu's tail causing him to unleash a {{m|Thunderbolt}} on everyone.

Suddenly, things begin to float mysteriously and everyone rushes to the classroom where Ash and Kiawe are standing. Acerola has her {{p|Shuppet}} use {{m|Foresight}} on the strange phenomena, which reveals that a group of {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon are behind the mayhem. Ash thanks Acerola, and she admits that Ghost Pokémon tend to follow her around likely because of Mimikins being a ghost. The twins are ecstatic and rush to play with the Ghost-types. {{p|Haunter}} {{m|lick}}s the twins' faces and a {{p|Phantump}} plays a game of peek-a-boo with them. Everyone is glad to see the twins are having fun, but Acerola warns that Ghost-types have a habit of carrying people they like away. Realizing the potential dangers, Lana attempts to call her sisters back but they ignore her pleas. {{p|Mismagius}} appears in front of Lana and unleashes a wave of energy that transports Ash and his friends to a strange graveyard world.

Upon arrival, Mismagius carries the carefree twins away while a group of {{p|Gourgeist}} blocks anyone from intervening. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the Gourgeist, and the [[wild Pokémon]] return to being pumpkins. Following Acerola's suggestion, Mimikins leads the group to a nearby mausoleum. As Ash and his friends make their way down, the stairs crumble under their feet and they drop down into another area. Lana soon spots her sisters who are enjoying soaring through the sky with their Ghost-type friends and their new sets of {{p|Vivillon}} and {{p|Beautifly}} wings. Lana's stern commands are once again ignored, and Mismagius warps everyone into another illusion.

Mallow and {{an|Sophocles}} find themselves in a purple forest and soon discover a house made of sweets. The pair and their Pokémon enjoy a bite of the cottage's outer walls. Before too long, they have gorged on most of the house and have become too fat and swollen to move. Elsewhere, Ash, Lillie, Kiawe, Rotom, and their Pokémon stop in a forested area to watch a {{p|Banette}} perform a {{wp|marionette}} puppet show. Ash, Kiawe, and Lillie soon find themselves immobile and then realize that they have become marionette puppets themselves.

Lana and Acerola have a tea party that quickly escalates into a dangerous situation. The pair and their Pokémon board a giant tea cup as {{p|Chandelure}} continues to pour a great flood of tea. Lana is able to row the cup away from Chandelure with a giant spoon, and later uses one of Popplio's water balloons to rescue everyone from going over a waterfall. As the giant bubble continues to float higher into the sky Acerola questions whether anything is real or is the world just one of Mismagius's illusions. Lana considers the possibility and notes that they would just need to wake up if it were just an illusion and smacks herself in the face, but instead, she ends up with pained and comically swollen, red cheeks. A giant {{p|Komala}} spares Lana and Acerola from an angry group of {{p|Drifloon}} and {{p|Drifblim}}. After Lana's desperate pleas, a giant school bell appears in the sky and Komala rings it loud and clear. Its tolling captivates everyone's attention, and they soon wake up in one of the Pokémon School's classrooms.

Principal Oak finds his Komala sleeping by the school's bell, and questions why it rang the bell at such an odd time. Meanwhile, Acerola and Lana inform Ash and the others that they were caught in a dream created by Mismagius. Everyone is thankful for Komala's efforts, but Acerola apologizes for embroiling everyone in the chaos. Lana points the finger at her two sisters, but the twins remain unaware of the concern they caused and simply want to have more fun with the Ghost Pokémon, much to the disbelief of Ash and his friends. Then, Lana finally loses her patience as an ominous aura envelops her. She stomps her foot on the floor and calls out to Harper and Sarah, who promptly get terrified by their big sister's ominous appearance. Afterwards, Ash and his friends start cleaning the school while Harper and Sarah remain frightened and comment that Lana is scarier than the haunted house.

==Plot==
Outside the [[Pokémon School]], {{TRT}} is busy selling their honey-glazed donuts when a play script flies into [[Jessie]]'s face. She reads the script and fantasizes about being an actress, while [[James]], {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} look on in concern.

Inside the Pokémon School, {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} are getting ready for their play. Ash is unable to find his script, so {{Rotom}} just gives him its own copy. {{an|Professor Kukui}} announces to his class that they will be putting on a play. Everyone begins to practice their lines in costume, but they soon become nervous after Rotom informs them that their families are waiting in the crowd. Ash and {{an|Mallow}} take a sneak look just as [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and [[Mimey]] arrive. [[Samson Oak]] and his wacky Pokémon impersonations take center stage as he welcomes the student's families and close friends to the school. The curtains open and the spotlight shifts as the play begins.

Mallow narrates the scenes as the play's protagonist and hero, Lillier— played by {{an|Lillie}}— arrives before the King and the Queen, played by {{an|Sophocles}} and {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}} respectively. The King and the Queen grant Lillier the Cane of [[Alola]] to gather the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In the next scene, Lillier meets {{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Lele}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}}, played by Ash, Mallow, and {{an|Lana}} respectively. Ash silently asks about the next part, but Lillie states that they cannot proceed until all four [[guardian deities]] are present. Backstage, Sophocles changes into his {{p|Tapu Bulu}} costume and joins the other Guardian deities, and Lillier asks for the quartet to bestow power on her. Delia calls out to her son, causing Ash to become nervous and temporarily forget his lines, but Mallow reminds him, and the Guardian deities call for the Pokémon of Alola, who all start dancing.

The play continues on with a dance scene between the King and the Queen, then Lillier travels far and wide, through the cold mountainside, against a strong gale of wind, and even fights a monster along the way, eventually, she meets the Legendary {{p|Solgaleo}}, played by {{an|Kiawe}}, atop a mountain.

Jessie makes a grand entrance and flies onto the stage [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as {{p|Lunala}} with James, Meowth and Wobbuffet holding the supporting rope. The crowd is in awe, but the students are left shocked by the unexpected appearance and Rotom declares the end of Act One before closing the stage curtains. Kiawe demand answers, to which Jessie claims herself to be a great actress and insists the play continues with her re-written lines that gives Jessie all the scene time. The kids are against it, but Rotom solves the problem by deciding to come up with a new script and begins scanning its database for ideas. The students soon spot the rest of Team Rocket trying to sneak away and rope them into joining the school's play.

Act two opens with a [[baseball]] scene. Soon enough, the play descends into a mismatch of themes and multiple acts starring [[Ultra Beast]]s, {{tc|Police Officer}}s, shadows, and Alolan Detective [[Laki]], but the crowd loves it.

Eventually the play reaches its final scene where Lillier seeks the power of the moon from Lunala. Jessie spins around while rose petals are blown around her to create a mystical and enchanting performance. Meowth suddenly loses grip of the rope holding Jessie, but thankfully {{an|Bewear}} appears and stops her from falling. After Jessie bestows the moon's power onto Lillier and declares that she must now return to the moon, Bewear tugs on the rope and sends her flying out of the school's concert hall. Bewear then scoops up James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet in her arms before jumping out of the building. She soon reaches Jessie mid-air before leaping into the distance. Despite Jessie's sudden exit, the play goes on and Lillier declares that Alola has been saved and peace has been restored. As the applause and cheers grow louder, the students and their Pokémon assemble onstage and thank the audience.

==Plot==
Outside the [[Pokémon School]], {{TRT}} is busy selling their honey-glazed donuts when a play script flies into [[Jessie]]'s face. She reads the script and fantasizes about being an actress, while [[James]], {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} look on in concern.

Inside the Pokémon School, {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} are getting ready for their play. Ash is unable to find his script, so {{Rotom}} just gives him its own copy. {{an|Professor Kukui}} announces to his class that they will be putting on a play. Everyone begins to practice their lines in costume, but they soon become nervous after Rotom informs them that their families are waiting in the crowd. Ash and {{an|Mallow}} take a sneak look just as [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] and [[Mimey]] arrive. [[Samson Oak]] and his wacky Pokémon impersonations take center stage as he welcomes the student's families and close friends to the school. The curtains open and the spotlight shifts as the play begins.

Mallow narrates the scenes as the play's protagonist and hero, Lillier— played by {{an|Lillie}}— arrives before the King and the Queen, played by {{an|Sophocles}} and {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}} respectively. The King and the Queen grant Lillier the Cane of [[Alola]] to gather the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. In the next scene, Lillier meets {{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Lele}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}}, played by Ash, Mallow, and {{an|Lana}} respectively. Ash silently asks about the next part, but Lillie states that they cannot proceed until all four [[guardian deities]] are present. Backstage, Sophocles changes into his {{p|Tapu Bulu}} costume and joins the other Guardian deities, and Lillier asks for the quartet to bestow power on her. Delia calls out to her son, causing Ash to become nervous and temporarily forget his lines, but Mallow reminds him, and the Guardian deities call for the Pokémon of Alola, who all start dancing.

The play continues on with a dance scene between the King and the Queen, then Lillier travels far and wide, through the cold mountainside, against a strong gale of wind, and even fights a monster along the way, eventually, she meets the Legendary {{p|Solgaleo}}, played by {{an|Kiawe}}, atop a mountain.

Jessie makes a grand entrance and flies onto the stage [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as {{p|Lunala}} with James, Meowth and Wobbuffet holding the supporting rope. The crowd is in awe, but the students are left shocked by the unexpected appearance and Rotom declares the end of Act One before closing the stage curtains. Kiawe demand answers, to which Jessie claims herself to be a great actress and insists the play continues with her re-written lines that gives Jessie all the scene time. The kids are against it, but Rotom solves the problem by deciding to come up with a new script and begins scanning its database for ideas. The students soon spot the rest of Team Rocket trying to sneak away and rope them into joining the school's play.

Act two opens with a [[baseball]] scene. Soon enough, the play descends into a mismatch of themes and multiple acts starring [[Ultra Beast]]s, {{tc|Police Officer}}s, shadows, and Alolan Detective [[Laki]], but the crowd loves it.

Eventually the play reaches its final scene where Lillier seeks the power of the moon from Lunala. Jessie spins around while rose petals are blown around her to create a mystical and enchanting performance. Meowth suddenly loses grip of the rope holding Jessie, but thankfully {{an|Bewear}} appears and stops her from falling. After Jessie bestows the moon's power onto Lillier and declares that she must now return to the moon, Bewear tugs on the rope and sends her flying out of the school's concert hall. Bewear then scoops up James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet in her arms before jumping out of the building. She soon reaches Jessie mid-air before leaping into the distance. Despite Jessie's sudden exit, the play goes on and Lillier declares that Alola has been saved and peace has been restored. As the applause and cheers grow louder, the students and their Pokémon assemble onstage and thank the audience.

==Plot==
[[Samson Oak]] informs the class that they will be having a special extracurricular activity to celebrate the Pokémon School's twentieth anniversary. It gets the attention of Ash and Mallow asks where they will be going. [[Professor Kukui]] replies that they will be heading to the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. The class gets excited with the news, except for Ash. {{an|Kiawe}} asks Ash if Kanto is where Ash comes from. {{an|Sophocles}} asks if that is where the [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] is located, which Principal Oak confirms. Professor Kukui tells them that there are special guests who they will be meeting in Kanto. Ash becomes as excited as the rest of the class. They board a plane to Kanto and Ash cannot wait to get there. Kiawe asks Sophocles how the plane flies, to which Sophocles says that riding on his {{p|Charizard}} is a lot scarier than being on a plane.

As they reached Kanto, they express their desires to see certain Pokémon. {{an|Lillie}} notices [[Snowy]] not feeling well and asks it if there is anything wrong. A man, later introduced to her as {{an|Brock}}, asks her if he can take a look at Snowy and that he is a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}}. Lillie gives the man consent. {{TRT}} also arrives in Kanto and are heading to the {{an|Team Rocket HQ|headquarters}}. [[Jessie]] becomes angry and asks the reason on [[Matori]] telling them to go there. [[James]] worries if they will get a lecture from her and their boss. {{MTR}} tries to comfort himself that if he gives Matori a donut, she might not get angry.

Brock informs Lillie that Snowy is only having motion sickness and that it will be fine after a while. {{ashcl|Her classmates}} realizes that she is missing. As they look behind, Ash notices Brock and calls out to him, catching the attention of Jessie. Ash runs toward Brock, however Brock only saw the cabin attendant who walks past Ash and chases after her. As Brock flirts with her, {{an|Misty}} pulls his ear and away from the cabin attendant. Ash is excited to see Misty and so does {{AP|Pikachu}} who jumps to Misty. Team Rocket sees Misty and Brock. Ash tells his classmates about the friends he used to travel with. Misty and Brock introduce themselves and that they are the [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Cerulean Gym]] and [[Pewter Gym]] respectively. Ash's classmates also introduce themselves to Misty and Brock. Ash asks them what they are doing there which Misty replies that Professor Oak asked them to meet the class. Professor Kukui and Samson Oak interrupt their conversation and tell them to head to the laboratory immediately lest Professor Oak worries. Team Rocket overhears them and decides to head to Professor Oak's laboratory as well, to steal all the Pokémon residing there and gives them to {{an|Giovanni}} so that they will not get lectured.

Samuel Oak and Samson Oak is excited to meet each other and Samuel congratulates Samson on the school's twentieth anniversary. {{Rotom}} is surprised to see their identical appearances. Samson Oak introduces the class to his cousin, Professor Samuel Oak. Professor Oak begins to recite a senryū and the class is impressed. Rotom recites its own senryū, and the Oaks praise its creation. Misty and Brock are in-charge of showing the class around the laboratory's Oak Corral. The class becomes excited seeing the vastness of the corral. The class expresses their desires to meet certain Pokémon again. Lillie however, is happy to see {{p|Spearow}} which {{an|Mallow}} exclaims that Spearow are also available in [[Alola]]. As Ash tells his classmates that his Pokémon are in the Oak Corral as well, he notices his herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. He runs towards them and all of the Tauros see him as well and runs toward him. However, due to the powerful charging of the Tauros, Ash flies into the sky when they knocked into him.

Kiawe and Rotom see a {{p|Rapidash}} at the edge of a cliff. Rapidash dashes forward and Kiawe sends out his Charizard to follow and race with it. They increase their speed and Kiawe realizes that Rapidash wants him to ride on it. Kiawe jumps from his Charizard and landed on Rapidash and rides on it. Mallow and her {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}} meet two {{p|Gloom}} and a {{p|Vileplume}}. Vileplume greets her and produces {{m|Poison Powder}}, without her realizing what those powders are. Brock and Misty warns her that it is poisonous and Mallow runs off with her Steenee. Meanwhile, Ash, Lillie, {{an|Lana}} and Sophocles see a {{p|Raichu}}. {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} becomes excited seeing it and runs around in circles. It produces electricity and shocks Raichu unconscious. Sophocles apologizes to it. They later see a {{p|Ninetales}} in a forested area and Snowy walks toward it. The Ninetales licks Snowy's head. They then see a {{p|Dewgong}} jumping out of a lake. {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} blows a bubble to the Dewgong which bounces it on its forehead. Just then, Ash realizes Rotom is not there. Rotom is travelling around the corral, taking photographs of different Pokémon.

At the back of the laboratory, Brock and Misty send out a Kantonian and {{alo|Exeggutor}} respectively. The Kantonian Exeggutor becomes surprised with its Alolan counterpart. The class comments on the major differences between the two regional Exeggutor. They also send out both variants of {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Muk}}. [[Ash's Muk]] is happy to see Ash. Both variants of {{p|Dugtrio}} are send out as well. Kiawe is startled to see the Kantonian Dugtrio not having hair and gives one of the Dugtrio's head his wig. Lastly, Brock sends out a Kantonian {{p|Marowak}} and Kiawe sends out his [[Kiawe's Marowak|Alolan Marowak]]. Upon seeing their counterparts, the two Marowak begin to fight each other. Kiawe and Brock try to restrain the two Marowak. Sophocles and Lillie comment on their different typing; Alolan Marowak being {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Ghost}} [[type]]s and Kantonian Marowak being {{type|Ground}}. Pikachu tries to calm the Marowak down but is instead attacked by them, sending flying into the sky. Togedemaru becomes furious and attacks the Marowak, but is chased by them. Pikachu lands on the ground and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, shocking everyone except the Kantonian Marowak. Lana and Kiawe realize their Popplio and Marowak disappeared and look for them. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu come across a {{p|Caterpie}} and Misty runs a distance away from it. Ash asks her if she has not overcome her fear of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, which Misty agrees. Afterwards, they begin to reminisce the adventures they once had. Just then, they heard a Pokémon's [[cry]] and go to find out what is making the sound. They see the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Oddish}}'s evolutionary lines arguing, with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] between them. Ash calls out to Bulbasaur and it is delighted to see Ash.

Lillie, Lana, and Mallow are climbing a slope, looking for Popplio when they hear Misty calling them. Misty suggests to look for Popplio near the lake ahead of them. At the lake, a {{p|Gyarados}} emerges from the water and frightens the girls, except Lana who stand firm. Lana changes to her swimsuit and jumps into the lake. Misty follows suit. At the bottom of the lake, they see Popplio hanging out with the {{t|Water}} types Pokémon. The boys are looking for Kiawe's Marowak in a rocky area when they are greeted with an {{p|Onix}}. They worry that the Onix might attack them, and Kiawe sends out his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} just in case. Brock tells them to calm down in order to not anger Onix. However, Kiawe's Marowak appears and throws its bone club at Onix, angering it. They begin to run away when the Onix chases them.

The two groups meet up, however a net captures their Pokémon, which is revealed to be Team Rocket. Misty and Brock get angry at Team Rocket for still being up to their usual tactics. Ash sends out {{AP|Lycanroc}} and commands it to use {{m|Rock Throw}}. Team Rocket, in their mecha, reflects the attack back to the group. Brock and Misty send out their {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} respectively. Together, they try to stop Team Rocket. The mecha falls apart and Team Rocket are not done yet. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Bulbasaur becomes frightened but looks at the sky. A plane flies past and {{an|Bewear}} jumps down. It takes off with Team Rocket. One of the wreckage shakes and {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears out of it. Mallow, Lillie and Lana are happy to see a {{p|Jigglypuff}} for the first time. However, Ash, Misty, and Brock recognize this Jigglypuff and are scared if it {{m|sing}}s. Jigglypuff proceeds with singing and everyone fall asleep upon hearing it. Jigglypuff becomes angry at its audience falling asleep and uses its microphone-marker to draw on their faces. They wake up in the evening and laughs at the drawings on each other's faces. {{Delia}} appears and tells them that the welcome party is ready to start.

Back at the laboratory, they begin eating the food that [[Mimey]] prepared. Delia welcomes them to Kanto and asks Kiawe if he would like to take a look at Ash's bedroom. Rotom becomes disappointed that it is still missing photo of one Pokémon. A {{p|Mew}} overhears Rotom and flies away. Professor Kukui informs the class on the activity they will be doing the next day, which is to head to the Cerulean Gym for a Gym battle. The next day, they travel past the Cerulean Gym. Ash exclaims that he cannot wait for the battle.

==Trivia==
* [[Poké Problem]]: ''Where do we travel to in today's episode?''
** Host: {{Ash}}
** Choices: [[Kalos]], [[Johto]], [[Kanto]], [[Unova]]
** Answer: Kanto
* [[Samson Oak]] and {{an|Professor Oak}} narrate the preview for the [[SM043|next episode]].
* This is the first time {{Ash}} has returned to [[Kanto]] while in the middle of a regional {{pkmn|journey}}.
* This episode marks several characters' first physical main series appearances after long absences:
** {{an|Brock}}, whose previous appearance was in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', 324 episodes earlier.
** {{an|Misty}}, whose previous appearance was in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', 573 episodes earlier.
** {{AP|Squirtle}}, whose previous appearance was in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', 517 episodes earlier.
** The recurring {{an|Jigglypuff}}, whose previous appearance was in ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', 668 episodes earlier.
** [[Misty's Staryu]], whose previous appearance was in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', 722 episodes earlier. This is the longest absence a Pokémon belonging to a main character has ever had in the main series.
** Furthermore, this is the first-ever physical main series appearance of a {{p|Mew}}.
** Furthermore, the way Rapidash was running in the open field resembles the way it was running during the first Pokémon opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and its English counterpart, [[Pokémon Theme]].
* This episodes features flashbacks to ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', ''Entei at Your Own Risk'', and ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
* When Misty dives with {{an|Lana}}, she is seen wearing a bikini similar to the one [[Misty|her game counterpart]] is seen wearing in the [[Generation I]] games (excluding {{game|Yellow}}).
* {{p|Horsea}} is seen with two fins, which could be a reference to [[:File:116Horsea RB.png|its original Generation I artwork]].
* [[Jessie]] [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by pushing away [[Matori]]'s thought balloon.
* An instrumental version of [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|Aim to Be a Pokémon Master -20th Anniversary-]] is used as an insert song when [[Snowy]] meets a {{p|Ninetales}}.
** Also, the manner in which Ninetales appears (where it was seen standing still under the sunlight) resembles another Ninetales that appeared in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]''.
* When Professor Oak recites the senryū of {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]'s format is used.
* {{TRT}} recites their {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Kanto, Orange Archipelago, Johto, and Hoenn|original motto}} in this episode. As a result, this motto has been recited at least once in every [[series]] so far. They also use the original Team Rocket logo instead of the streamlined model that has been in use since the {{series|Best Wishes}}.
* The [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|Japanese opening]] for this episode includes ad-lib lines by Misty, Brock, and Professor Oak, much like the original version of the opening.
* The inside of the mecha Meowth pilots in the episode appears to resemble the controls of the mobile suits that appear in ''{{wp|Mobile Fighter G Gundam}}'', specifically the head and wrist attachments resembling the Mobile Trace System.
* {{an|Kiawe}}'s wig from ''[[SM023|Getting the Band Back Together!]]'' makes a reappearance.
* As of this episode, every Pokémon that Ash has owned for longer than a single series has resided at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
* The [[Pokémon School]]'s 20th anniversary is a reference to the Pokémon anime's 20th anniversary.
* Team Rocket's line when {{an|Bewear}} grabs them is spoken by Misty instead of Team Rocket themselves.
* This and the next episode feature thirteen main characters, the most amount in the series so far.

===Errors===
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on everybody, {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} gets zapped despite having {{a|Lightning Rod}} as her [[Ability]].
* When [[Brock's Crobat]] uses {{m|Supersonic}}, it opens its mouth. When the scene changes to the Supersonic hitting [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], its mouth is closed.
* When Jigglypuff puffs up in anger, the black band and silver base on the bottom of Jigglypuff's microphone turned silver and dark gray respectively for a split second. Also, the band's width is smaller than normal during this goof.

==Blurb==

It’s a beautiful day on Melemele Island in the Alola region. Ash and his mom are on vacation there, along with Pikachu and Mimey, and having a great time!

Our hero is thrilled to meet so many new Pokémon, and his exploration leads him to Professor Oak’s cousin Samson, the principal of the Pokémon School. It’s a beautiful, sprawling campus where students work with Pokémon and learn alongside them! As Ash learns more about Alola region tradition from new friends Mallow and Professor Kukui, his interest grows. When vacation is over and his mom heads home, he decides to stay behind and become a Pokémon School student himself!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in the middle of enjoying their [[Alola]] [[region]] vacation, riding on a {{p|Sharpedo}}. They speed across and under the water, seeing many wild {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including a {{p|Pyukumuku}} that greets them with a friendly peace sign. After running out of air, they both resurface, but are immediately face-to-face with a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which surprises Ash and causes him to fall into the water. Ash is relieved to have made it back to the surface, but is soon laughing along with {{an|Lana|a girl}} and her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} who saw amusement in his reaction. Ash is asked by a woman in charge of the [[Poké Ride|Pokémon Jet Ski]] if he enjoyed it, and she is relieved when he tells her it was fun, thanking the Sharpedo. On the beach, a {{p|Litten}} is relaxing on the sand, washing itself, only to notice Ash and Pikachu racing in its direction. Failing to see the Litten, Ash steps on Litten's tail, annoying it as it hits him with {{m|Ember}} before leaving.

At the hotel, {{Delia}} is relaxing with [[Mimey]], drinking some Pinap Juice. Ash returns to them and tells Delia everything he and Pikachu did, which makes Delia happy to know they had fun. She says they have Mimey to thank for winning them their Alola vacation. Ash remembers them winning, leaving his Pokémon with {{an|Professor Oak}}, and flying to the Alola region. Delia tells them that they should get going, which confuses Ash until she reminds him that Professor Oak asked them to deliver an {{pkmn|Egg}} to his cousin in Alola.

Ash and Delia take a Pokémon Taxi and learn about Ride Pokémon from the driver. Ash remembers the Sharpedo he used earlier and figures out it was a Water Ride Pokémon. Ash then asks Delia where they are taking the egg, to which Delia tells him they're taking it to a place called the [[Pokémon School]]. Mimey then notices some {{Berries}}, informing Delia and they all stop off to take a look. Delia and Mimey are occupied with the berries, so Ash decides to look around and finds a {{p|Grubbin|Pokémon}} with its head sticking out from a hole. Ash crouches down, wondering what its name is, but it gets angry and pinches Ash's nose. After shaking it off, Ash and Pikachu, wanting to catch the Pokémon, give chase as it escapes underground through the town. Delia turns to show Ash the Berries, but notices he has disappeared.

Still chasing after the Pokémon, another {{p|Tapu Koko|strange Pokémon}} darts from tree to tree behind them. After chasing the Pokémon deep into the forest, Ash and Pikachu finally reach the hole in the ground, but find that it is empty. Suddenly, a [[Sitrus Berry]] falls from the sky. Looking up to the sky, Ash wonders where they are and where they were supposed to take the Pokémon egg. The mysterious Pokémon throws another berry down, but it hits something in the bushes. Ash and Pikachu look around the forest and suddenly hear a noise. They continue hearing the noise until they see {{p|Bewear|the Pokémon responsile of the noise}} emerge from the bushes and see it waving at them. Ash starts to wave back, calling it cute, but his opinion changes immediately once he sees it smashing down various tall trees in joy. As the Pokémon then approaches them for a hug, Ash and Pikachu rush off in the opposite direction, but it begins to chase after them, coming close to catching them until it is distracted by the mysterious Pokémon from earlier. Ash and Pikachu, after escaping the rampaging Pokémon, spot a {{p|Charizard}} in the air and decide to follow it. Emerging from the forest, Ash and Pikachu arrive at a area with a huge building. Ash spots a {{an|Lillie|girl}} next to some new Pokémon, so he jumps over the fence and heads towards them, but the girl warns Ash to look out as, unknowingly to Ash, various {{p|Tauros}} being ridden by Trainers head straight for him, but before he can get out of the way, they all crash into him. {{an|Mallow|One Trainer}} orders her Tauros to stop, but it is too late as Ash has been trampled by the Tauros. The girl rushes over to Ash to ask how he is, to which Ash tells her that he is used to Tauros as he has caught {{AP|some|Tauros}} before. As one of the Tauros approaches Ash and the girl, only for the latter to back off in fear. It is revealed by a boy that Lillie is scared of Pokémon and can't touch them. After recognizing the girl who was fishing earlier, Ash is informed that he is at the Pokémon School and is shown around.

As Ash and Mallow are looking around the school, Ash is brought to the principal's office, being mistaken as a new student, but as Ash tries to clear things up, he sees his mother and meets the school's principal, [[Samson Oak]], Professor Oak's cousin. The meeting leaves Ash stunned as he learns of Samson's habit of making jokes using Pokémon names. Inside the office, Ash clears things up with Mallow as Samson calls Professor Oak to tell him he has received the egg safely, to which he thanks Delia. Mallow asks Samson if she can show Ash around the campus and shows Ash to the classroom first. Ash is introduced to the class teacher, [[Professor Kukui]], who welcomes them happily. Ash then hears a roar from outside as he sees a group of strange people gathering.

{{an|Kiawe|A boy}} and his Charizard are approached by a group of people. Ash learns that they're part of a group known as [[Team Skull]], who bully people into battling them. One of the Team Skull members makes a deal that the boy can leave if he wins their battle, but if he loses, they will get his Charizard and send out their Pokémon, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Salandit}} and {{p|Zubat}} to begin their battle, ordering him to tell Charizard to fight. Just then, Ash steps in to confront the group, telling them how unfair the battle is and joins the battle himself, introducing himself to the boy, who introduces himself as Kiawe, but tells Ash he doesn't need any help. As Ash sends in Pikachu, Kiawe sends out his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, and reveals that it is a Fire and Dragon type, and also a trusted friend of his. The members of Team Skull command their Pokémon to use {{m|Venoshock}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Leech Life}} respectively, but Pikachu successfully dodges the Venoshock with {{m|Quick Attack}}, as Kiawe comments on Pikachu's speed. The Yungoos and Zubat bite down on Turtonator's shell, causing an explosion from the sensitive spines on Turtonator's shell. Salandit is ordered to use {{m|Flame Burst}}, but Ash tells Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which connects with the three Salandit, which impresses the students, as well as the mysterious Pokémon watching from a tree. Kiawe tells Ash to leave the rest to him as he powers up his Turtonator using a crystal on his wrist, which allows his Turtonator to use a move known as {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which is strong enough to defeat the villain's Pokémon at once, causing them to retreat. Ash asks Kiawe what he just did, but Professor Kukui steps in to explain that they're known as [[Z-Move]]s, which are moves passed down in Alola after completing the [[island challenge]] on the four islands of Alola. Ash gets excited by all the things he has just learned, but suddenly sees a flying Pokémon, and once describing it to the group, they identify the Pokémon as {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian]] of [[Melemele Island]].

Later that night, Ash, Delia, Pikachu, and Mimey are enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Delia comments on the food, but Ash is thinking about everything that had happened earlier, which is noticed by Delia as she asks him if there was anything that happened to distract him. Ash then hears a noise echoing and recognizes the Pokémon in a tree, leaving the restaurant and immediately chasing after it. Searching around, he encounters it again, following and meeting it at a viewing point where he remembers it as Tapu Koko receives an object that he recognizes as what Kiawe was wearing. After approval from Tapu Koko, Ash puts the object on his wrist before watching Tapu Koko fly off away from him. Ash then stares at the [[Z-Ring]].

The next day, Ash is at Professor Kukui's house talking to Delia, who is back in [[Pallet Town]], over the video phone. Ash then remembers that he starts his first day of Pokémon School today and hurries off after saying goodbye to Delia. As Ash races up the road with Pikachu, the two of them look out to the ocean before they both have a race to the Pokémon School campus.

==Trivia==
* Starting with this episode, viewers can see an introduction of the main characters and a short overview of the series plot {{DL|Data broadcasting|Plot overview and introduction of the characters|using their remote}} on [[TV Tokyo]].
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special, viewers could take part in a [[a:File:Keyword quiz SM001 SM002.png|three-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a Nintendo New 3DS XL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition and copies of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The first character was Z.
* [[Alola!!]] replaced {{so|XY&Z}} as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening theme]], while [[Pose]] replaced [[Meowth's Ballad]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* This episode aired as a sneak peek on November 18, 2016, in {{pmin|France}}; November 19, 2016, in {{pmin|Italy}}; November 20, 2016, in {{pmin|Germany}} and {{pmin|Belgium}}; November 26, 2016, in {{pmin|Spain}}; November 27, 2016, in {{pmin|the Netherlands}}; December 5, 2016, in {{pmin|the United States}}; and December 31, 2016, in {{pmin|Canada}} alongside ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' and ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]''.
** Its airdate in France was only one day after its premiere in Japan.
** For these airings, as the [[Under The Alolan Sun|opening theme sequence]] hadn't been completed, a placeholder opening was used, in which the show's title simply flew into view on a black background as the title card background music played. In the ending credits, the anime arrangement of [[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: Super Music Collection|The Festival in Iki Town]] was used and played on a black background.
* This was the first episode to air in the United States on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}}.
** This was also the first episode since ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'' not to air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}.
* When the Watch Disney XD site and Disney XD app were updated to include episodes from [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on February 11, 2017, the final version of this and the following episode were made available, replacing the special preview previously available through the service.
* This episode marks the first time the Team Rocket trio is absent in the first episode of a region since their debut in the anime, something that happened last time in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* This episode marks the first time the region's [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] debuts in the first episode of a new series.
* This episode marks the first time Ash has traveled to the new region prior to the start of a new series.
* This episode marks the first time a distinct change in the appearance of the series. In this case, characters and settings are now being rendered in a softer and more hand-drawn style to allow for more fluid animation.
** Characters are now rendered with longer faces with hair not being as pointed as before, smaller irises (changes that are applied to {{Ash}}, {{Delia}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}}) and no longer have fingernails. Pokémon are now depicted as having fur.
** Also, this show goes back to the frame rate of 24 frames per second, for the first time since the end of the {{series|AG}}.
* Although the move has existed since [[Generation I]], this episode marks the first time that {{m|Leech Life}} is used in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* This episode marks the first mention of {{p|Porygon}} in the anime since its infamous debut in [[EP038]] (excluding the dub-exclusive [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment from ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'').
* {{Ash}}, {{an|Mallow}}, and {{an|Kiawe}} narrate the preview for the [[SM002|next episode]].
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Happiny}} other than the one that [[Brock's Happiny|belonged to]] {{an|Brock}}.
* The green T-shirt Ash wears in the flashback of Mimey winning a trip to the Alola region has a print design of the {{m|Surf}} sprite from the core [[Generation I]] games.
* After getting trampled by a herd of Tauros, Ash references his {{AP|30 Tauros|Tauros}}.
* This is the only episode so far to feature {{an|Bewear}} without {{TRT}}.

===Errors===

* When Ash learns about Z-Moves and the island challenge, for a split second Pikachu is missing the red circles on his cheeks.
* When Ash goes helping Kiawe fight Team Skull, both his Japanese line {{tt|「まって！」|”Matte!”}} ("Wait!") and the dubbed line play simultaneously in the English and Italian dubs.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}'s name when {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} is about to use the move is edited out in the dub.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Braixen}}

** At the same scene, {{an|Bonnie}}'s hairstyle is switched backwards.
* After Serena leaves her tent alongside Braixen and Pancham, she is shown walking out barefoot, but in the next frame she is wearing sandals.
* When Serena is talking to Eevee after she has finished performing the practice routine for her upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase|Showcase]], the color on her dress just above her blue ribbon, is briefly colored the same as the ribbon.
* When Serena is going to rescue Eevee, Bonnie appears with five bangs on her forehead without her hairpin
* When Bonnie is playing with Pancham, Chespin, and Eevee near the end of the episode, her ponytail is missing. This error repeats three times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Team Rocket V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Team Rocket for this episode]]
* Team Rocket reads the title card.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Skiddo}}
** Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, there is a special preview for [[M18]].
* This episode marks the first time one of {{TRT}}'s Pokémon has evolved since ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', 334 episodes earlier.
** This also marks the first time one of Team Rocket's Pokémon has been traded since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', 619 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the second time a main character trades a Pokémon for another one, but later trades it back. The first time was in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', 865 episodes earlier.
* After Prince Pumpkaboo reveals he no longer loves Jessie's Gourgeist after her evolution, Meowth sympathizes with it, alluding a previous crush he had in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.
* This episode confirms that [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Pumpkaboo}} (and later, {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}) is female and {{DL|Form differences|Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist|Super Size}}.
* The regular opening sequence is replaced with clips from ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. They appear after the beginning sequence of Ash and his friends' preparations of the journey.
* The {{pkmn|cosplay}}s seen in this episode include:
** {{Ash}}: {{p|Snorlax}}
** {{AP|Pikachu}}: {{p|Psyduck}}
** {{an|Serena}}: {{p|Florges}} ({{DL|Form differences|Flabébé, Floette, and Florges|Red Flower}})
** {{an|Clemont}}: {{p|Watchog}}
** {{an|Bonnie}}: {{p|Ludicolo}}
** {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}: {{p|Corphish}}
** {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}: {{p|Pikachu}}
** [[Jessie]]: {{p|Mismagius}}
** [[James]]: {{p|Gourgeist}}
** {{MTR}}: {{p|Banette}}
** {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}: {{p|Sawk}}
** {{TP|James|Inkay}}: {{p|Pikachu}}
*** Inkay's Pikachu costume is the same one it wore in ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'', while Meowth's Banette costume is the same one he wore in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' and ''[[BW137|Celebrating the Hero's Comet!]]''.
* {{Ash}} and {{an|Serena}} narrate the preview for the [[XY082|next episode]].

===Errors===

* When Count Pump's butler activates the trap gate and trapped Ash and his friends, Pikachu's Psyduck beak is colored white instead of beige.
* On the flashback of Jessie receiving a cake from her Pumpkaboo, her boots were colored the same as her skin.
* When Serena orders {{TP|Serena|Braixen}} to use {{m|Flamethrower}} to blast off Team Rocket, Braixen was already executing the move before Serena could finish calling out the attack.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode]]
* Serena reads the title card.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Barbaracle}}
** Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, {{p|Hoopa}} pops out to announce the viewers to see the trailer of the upcoming [[M18|movie]].
* This is another time where Pokémon Quiz segment features a Pokémon that has already been featured. In this case, {{p|Braixen}} was featured [[XY047|42 episodes ago]].
* {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{p|Rotom}} narrate the preview for the [[XY080|next episode]].
* {{an|Bonnie}} seems to be aware of {{an|Serena}}'s [[AmourShipping|crush]] on Ash.
* ''[[DreamDream]]'' is used as an insert song in this episode.
* This episode features the following flashbacks of Serena during the scene when receiving her score.
** Serena telling {{kal|Grace}} she wants to become a [[Pokémon Performer]], then racing with her on {{p|Skiddo}} and win from ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]''.
** Serena crying at the dock while {{p|Fennekin}} and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} try to cheer her up and cutting her hair short after losing her first Pokémon Showcase from ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''.
** Serena making a lot of Poképuffs.
* Serena wears the same dress she wore in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]''.
* [[Serena's Braixen]] and Pancham remain outside of their {{ball|Poké}}s throughout the episode.
* The Pokémon Performers who own the {{p|Swanna}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Furret}} also appeared during the [[Coumarine City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] in ''A Showcase Debut!''. Coincidentally, all three didn't make it past the Theme Performance in both Showcases.
* This episode's English dub title wasn't revealed until after the two [[XY080|following]] [[XY081|episodes]]'s titles. It aired in Canada on September 5, 2015, and in the United States on Septemter 12, 2015.

===Errors===
* The hair tuff on the male {{p|Meowstic}} which belongs to an unknown Trainer during the scene outside of the Pokémon Showcase stadium is colored dark blue instead of white.
* When Ash, Clemont, and Bonnnie walk up to [[Miette]] after she shows up, a second {{p|Slurpuff}} is seen overlapping Miette and her Slurpuff.
* When the VS screen featuring Miette appeared, her Meowstic is missing.
* When {{an|Aria}} is shown watching {{an|Serena}}'s performance, her collar is white instead of black. This error repeats in the next two scenes.
* When Serena is walking down a hallway, backstage of the Pokémon Showcase with her Pokémon, Braixen's right paw is briefly colored yellow instead of white four times.
* The Pokémon Performers who own the {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Vanillish}} have their key colors swapped when receiving their score.
* Jessie is mentioned by [[Monsieur Pierre]] as being the first Performer to perform in the Free Performance round. During Jessie's performance, Serena is told to stand-by for her performance. Miette is shown to perform right after Jessie. Serena performs right after Miette, but is mentioned as being the last Performer to perform in the Free Performance Round. Yet, the Free Performance round was shown and mentioned to have five Performers left. As such, the two other, nameless Performers are omitted, when Jessie, Miette and Serena all perform right after each other and Jessie and Serena are mentioned to be the first and last Performers to perform in the Free Performance round.

== Exception? ==

Confused what you meant when saying I was making an exception [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Frogadier&diff=next&oldid=2230119 here]. I was not counting special cases like Oshawott going to the bottom of the lake because that kind of thing is not actually listed as a move on the move table; I based my analysis on the table of moves, and there was no "exception". It's the first of Ash's that is normally a starter to learn such a move.

I did check and found that it's not the first overall, however; the seven HM pages for this generation note two of Ash's Pokémon ([[Ash's_Gible|Gible]] and [[Ash's_Boldore|Boldore]]) know {{m|Rock Smash}}. Cut is therefore the second HM move learned and Froakie is the only one to know it. Not AS trivia-worthy - partially since other Pokémon in the anime have known all HM moves at some point - but still interesting. I forgot those two even learned Rock Smash (and I might not have seen the Gible episodes). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 08:25, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
:Grotle/Torterra knows Rock Climb. I may have misunderstood the trivia a little bit, but what I mean by exception (which was probably the wrong word to use so I apologize) is that multiple Pokémon he owns have used HM moves, so having to say it's his first Starter Pokémon to use an HM move (which is false anyway) is trying to make something notable that just isn't. Froakie/Frogadier is his fourth Pokémon to use an HM move, so it's just not notable in anyway at this point. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 09:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
::Huh. I wasn't thinking of Rock Climb. It was am HM once. And I really started playing in fifth, so I usually forget that. I did see Rock Climb in use, however, so I cannot deny that. LOL [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:42, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

== Help ==

I have a problem. It's Ash's Frogadier's English VA. Me and other users confirmed it to be Thompson. But now I'm getting puzzled because Tiddlywinks and Pansagetrent9 agreed but ForceFire Didn't and now the page for Frogadier is locked. What should I do?--JasonL 09:28, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]])
:Has Frogadier's VA been confirmed by official sources? --[[User:Bomyne|Bomyne]] ([[User talk:Bomyne|talk]]) 09:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
::By this I mean, Via the show's credits, the Pokemon.com website, an official press release, etc. --[[User:Bomyne|Bomyne]] ([[User talk:Bomyne|talk]]) 09:43, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Aren't the Indigo and Orange Leagues both considered one journey, and the same with Hoenn and the Battle Frontier?

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.

==Blurb==

Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!

Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.

To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.

Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.

==Plot==
In a small [[Kanto]] [[region]] settlement called [[Pallet Town]], a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] stays up late watching a [[Pokémon battle]] on television. Ash’s mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], scolds her son and tells him to go to bed, which Ash reluctantly does. Ash is eagerly anticipating the next day, where he will receive [[starter Pokémon|his first Pokémon]] from a man called [[Professor Oak]].

Unfortunately, during the night, Ash accidentally breaks his alarm clock and is very late to arrive at Professor Oak’s laboratory. Since the usual Kanto starter Pokémon – {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} – are all taken by Trainers who arrived on time, {{TP|Gary|one of which|Blastoise}} was taken by Ash’s rival, [[Gary Oak]], Professor Oak hesitantly gives Ash a Poké Ball containing a [[Obedience|disobedient]] {{AP|Pikachu}} and also presents to Ash a [[Pokédex]] containing information on all Pokémon native to Kanto.

While Ash is excited to have a new Pokémon, Pikachu is not excited to have a new Trainer and the two of them have a very rocky relationship at first. Pikachu is extremely mistrusting of Ash and is so stubborn that Ash has to drag him around with a clothesline leash from the [[Bag|backpack]] Delia prepared for him. Making matters worse is the fact that Pikachu absolutely hates being inside his [[Poké Ball]], so Ash has to keep Pikachu out with him at all times.

In the process of trying to capture a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgey}}, Ash accidentally angers a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. While running away from the Spearow, Pikachu is grievously injured due to many vicious attacks from the flock. After being [[fishing|fished]] out of a pond by {{an|Misty|a girl}}, Ash takes the girl’s bicycle so he can get away from the pursuing Spearow, an effort that is hampered by a raging thunderstorm. Eventually, Ash is left with no other choice but to stand in front of his injured Pokémon and defend it from the Spearow. This selfless act convinces Pikachu to help Ash, so Pikachu leaps over his Trainer’s shoulder and uses the lightning from the storm to defeat all of the Spearow simultaneously. However, Pikachu’s attack also hits the girl’s bicycle, destroying it.

As Ash and a barely conscious Pikachu get ready to continue to [[Viridian City]], Ash sees a {{an|Ho-Oh|shimmering golden Pokémon}} flying overhead in the aftermath of the storm. Wondering what it could be, as the Pokédex is unable to identify the Pokémon, Ash and Pikachu make their way to Viridian City and Ash wonders what will lie ahead of him on his journey.

==Trivia==
[[File:NidovsGengarAnimeRed.png|thumb|200px|The beginning of the anime (left) and the opening of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (right)]]
[[File:Stadium anime art.png|thumb|200px|An early frame]]
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|200px|The shadowed Trainer that resembles [[Bruno]].]]
[[File:Green Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|200px|The green Poké Ball from the first scene]]
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in its debut]]
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].
** However, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} show Gengar and Nidorino battling in a forest, not a stadium.
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' mini-series, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.
* The shadowed Trainer using Nidorino and Onix to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]].
* Ash's introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of the {{series|Best Wishes}} as a throwback to this episode.
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a Poké Ball shortly after 4 AM.
* The order in which Ash opens the starters' empty Poké Balls indicates his preferred choices: Squirtle first, Bulbasaur second, and Charmander last.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, nor {{p|Squirtle}} actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
* This is the only episode with Pikachu seen inside his own [[Poké Ball]].
** This caused confusion in the scene in which Ash drags Pikachu by a rope while wearing rubber gloves.
* This episode revealed that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes Ho-Oh the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and Ratata in the following episode against Team Rocket after failing to capture either Pokémon in this episode.
* This episode has the same title in the English dub as the original.

===Errors===

* As Delia catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.
* When Professor Oak appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s background color, green, is correctly shown.
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Balls releasing the Pokémon.
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.
* Gary says "Well, you must be Ash" as if they have never met, but the two have actually known each other since early childhood.
* After Gary tells Ash that his Pokémon is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.
* When Ash opens his Pokédex for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after Misty tells him where the nearest Pokémon Center is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's bike, his shoes are colored normally.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.
* As Ash looks at Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole in Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ|Go for it, Satoshi}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO".
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks {{an|Misty}}, she slaps him. This was cut from the [[dub]] (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.

====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. Gyarados and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"
====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for him.

==Meta game trivia==
''[[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy/Species#Unnotable|This sort of trivia are unnotable as we are a wiki, not a strategy guide.]]'' While this is usually practiced on other pages, there a few notable exceptions… 18 of them, to be exact. Each type's {{DL|Fairy (type)|Characteristics}} section is basically a miniature Smogon, complete with popular moves, strategies, and evaluation of metagame effectiveness. Much of these Characteristics are theories based on metagame critique. To put it simply: Why are these here? Moves aren't analyzed like this, Pokémon pages don't get anything like this. So why the types, which on their own don't really provide much of an education into the metagame? Sorry to bug you, but I felt like raising the question. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

:::::Ehh, for me, it's not much of a big deal. So I'd say no. Also, not sure if you want to put the Serena and Bonnie thing as an error or if it is a trivial thing, because either way, it's not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Like I said, not a big deal. The Serena and Bonnie thing is not notable. The only reason we mention Pikachu doing imitations is because it is a series running thing that has been happening for a while.

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

Hello. Not long before I posted this, I was adding tables to the various moves used in Pokemon conquest. However, I happened to find a website where they use images right from the game to show the area of effect moves have, such as [http://veekun.com/dex/media/chrome/conquest-move-ranges/tile-1-ahead-knockback.png this one here]. Would it be preferred for me to stick to the tables being used now, or to upload these images and use them instead? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Try bringing this up to {{u|Kogoro}}, as she's the Archive's Editor in Chief, so her input would be important. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Will do. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 04:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

== Error Images ==

For the error images, is the staff aware about any of the pages with more than five error images? That way, if they are, I won't put in any tags telling them which page has over five. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
:Considering the fact there is over 800 episode episode page, I don't think the staff are keeping track of how many images are there on the page. We trust that users will follow the five image per episode rule. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
::Ok. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

== Edits ==

I will resume lurking and the occasional spelling/grammar edit, then, if that's okay with you. As I come from a large wiki, where we have our own little cliques, seeing a new person being bold tends to ruffle a lot of feathers, and I haven't really seen a "be bold" policy here. Thus, since there is none, then I will stop being bold and resume the occasional maintenance edit.

The confusion resulted from the userpage being displayed and basically a message asking for edits. I supplied what information I could, section by section, as opening a very large page in its entirety is very confusing. It is much easier to keep track of what's done by working by section, and that is where Preview doesn't help (which I used every single edit, including this one).

I admit that I didn't see the in-use tag when I started. However, when it was asked on the Pokémon-Amie talk page for edits, and I felt I should add what I could, then the message was mixed. The task would have been very simple; if a page is not public yet, don't display it.

That being said, and my own experience with cliques, I can see where I'm not wanted and will be returning to lurking. Wookieepedia needs my attention more, anyway. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 08:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

== New Pokémon ==

Have you seen Hoopa and Volcanion as well? I was thinking we should create sandboxes for them too. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I have no idea how those templates work.

I found their level 100 move sets, abilities, and types [http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1957245-hoopa-volcanion-diancies-leaked-stats-abilities-types/ here].

== [[Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin]] ==

As one who was skeptical of {{u|Relicant}}'s reasonings in [[Talk:Chesnaught (Pokémon)#Knight]] (and as a staff member), I'm curious to know what you think of Relicant's [[Talk:Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin|arguments for "rood"]] as an origin for {{p|Diggersby}}'s Japanese name (Horūdo).

I do not believe there is enough substance to support "rood" as a possibility, but I'm sure Relicant wouldn't just let me remove it (and that would lead nowhere), so I need some authority to judge this and give it a solid resolution. If you (and/or other staff) judge that, thin though rood's substance may be, its possibility still cannot be absolutely denied, then I'll be happy enough to accept that. I really think it's much too unlikely, though...
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
:Rood is also a measurement of land, which is supported by its Ground typing. Whilst I think it is a stretch, it does fit in a way (again, Ground typing). Even if it is an obscure word.

:No. An evolved Pokémon '''should not''' be able to de-evolve back to its previous states. That is common knowledge in the Pokémon franchise.

...do regional Pokédex Numbers in the infoboxes look ugly ATM?

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

I'd like to request [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox|this template]] be implimented as template for Pokemon Conquest moves. Currently as I'm editing it involves the mass copying and editing of the table directly, which this template greatly simplifies. Actual usage of it could further by simplified by making the three colors used in the template into color templates like "<nowiki>{{Steel color dark}}</nowiki>", etc, so in the template fields I could put "hit/move/push" instead of the color codes, but as-is it's perfectly functional as seen [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox2|here]]. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

On a related note, would the website "Veekun" by acceptable for reliable information? Their database on the game's moves provides base accuracy, chance of secondary effects taking hold, and base power, stats that are not-viewable in-game. I'd like to add this extra info but if the website isn't suitable as a source for this I'm fine to leave it out. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

== Your [[Starter Pokémon]] edit ==

Would you care to respond to the comment(s) at [[Talk:Starter Pokémon#Kalos secondary triangle]] regarding your removal of the trivia point? In short, I think you're using a baselessly narrow definition of what makes a "triangle". There's no good reason to be any more strict than "advantage"/"disadvantage", and that makes a perfect triangle. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
:I already stated in the edit summary. The triangle isn't based of Advantage and Disadvantages, it is based of Super Effectiveness and Resistance. [http://www.dragonflycave.com/faq.aspx#darkpsyfight This site] further explains why it is not a triangle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:43, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
::Why should I care what that site says? It's not an official site. Everyone's definition of "triangle" (as regards this subject) is artificial, and yours/that site's are based on one ''single'' data point: the Water/Fire/Grass "triangle". That is ''MASSIVELY'' flawed.
::"Dealing 2x damage" and "receiving 1/2 damage" can be rephrased as "having an offensive advantage" and "having a defensive advantage", and you cannot tell me with any sort of certainty that that is the wrong interpretation. (Or if you're looking at it as "A deals 2x damage to B and B deals 1/2 damage to A", it's "A has an offensive advantage over B and B has an offensive disadvantage against A". Same difference.)
::Look at the facts. The Dark/Psychic/Fighting secondary types are ''so'' close to the ''exact'' same relationship ("triangle") as the Water/Fire/Grass primary types. Would you wager that that was not intentional? Would you actually wager that they were not going for a secondary "triangle"? Who are you to say that it doesn't form a "triangle" when they've rather apparently made the decision that "offensive advantage/defensive advantage" is the rule of their "triangles" instead of the trivially specific "deals 2x damage/receives 1/2 damage"? The games have done basically nothing in the way of "triangles" for five generations except Water/Fire/Grass; accept that they just decided to advance this concept a bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:16, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
:::I only used that site to explain why I think Dark/Psychic/Fighting does not make a triangle. There is no official word, but the fact the kept the Grass/Fire/Water cycle, the one that deals 2x damage to A/receives 1/2 damage to B, for sixth generation states otherwise. Dark tpye does not receive 1/2 damage to Psychic thus does not make Dark/Fighting/Psychic a triangle.

:::::::Even if it has been repeated for sixth generation and nearly two decades? You are missing the point. Having an advantage and disadvantage isn't that specific and too general.

== "Unneeded redirect page" ==

If you take a minute to do [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=zam&go=Go a search for zam], you'll find the mediawiki search returns no results, except for the obviously unrelated Zap. As there is literally no downside to having a redirect for Zam, and an obvious upside, what is your logic in deleting it? The entire point of redirects is to speed up the process of finding a page. Deleting it slows down that process. "Zam" is an incredibly common nickname for a single pokemon that has existed since gen 1 - I can't see a single reason why you would delete that redirect (let alone speedily delete it with no discussion or even bringing it to the notice of the editor, which is poor wiki etiquette). -[[User:Auron|Auron]] 09:15, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

The Kalos Trivia just removed is actually true.

Sinnoh has 6 women and 7 men, and Unova has 10 men in BW, 7 men in B2W2 and 6 women in BW and 6 in B2W2, meaning Kalos is the only female dominant one. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 12:10, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

== Re: Success ==

I'm sorry for saying the things I do, as you are not even a member of ProjectVA, but how can I not when you look at the story in full perspective? The whole reasoning for Jo the Marten's "Unknown" label simply equated to "she's not Lisa Ortiz," which was not only clear as day to begin with, but also something that, conversely, remained untouched for nearly a decade if for no other reason than a lack of proper research on a fundamental level. The answer was right in front of you the entire time, but alas, the site's mantra kills the premise of user-submitted content in this category - the very foundation of this site - so all the staff involved in that area of the site only really succeed in doing in this area was putting a bag on their head and pretend to be invisible so they wouldn't get in trouble by their hypothetical parents/guardians. It's a hypocritical practice that only keeps them locked in the darkness, and this whole incident only goes to show how stubborn they are in turning a trivial matter into a critical mass due to nothing more than a false disposition.

Fortunately, some of us still believe in our own power. And that is what makes this so worthy to discuss.

I don't need to prove anything for you personally, however. You have demonstrated time and again to be this site's impenetrable defensive line, the white blood cell in their system, and you do a very good job of that. Despite our confrontations I don't bare any grudge against you. Even so, I feel obligated to play the role of muckraker here when one such as myself can easily see through the flaws of its design made by user and admin alike. I pretty much have it down to a science now.

For whatever reason you have to follow me everywhere, just know that I will never criticize you in retaliation. I am much too old to be playing that childish game.

If you must know why I didn't go after this personal example, it's because I, too, have a life. Also, my efforts were made in contacting Hollingshead instead, as well as other VAs in other works. Additionally, I had heard GamerGeek had asked Tara about this as well, so I did not particularly need to contact her myself at this time. The situation was already in good hands, you see.

:So... you know our policy then? So... why are you complaining? I have said time and time again, find a source that isn't credits or playing by ear. That is my main point. But you seem to be unable to understand that. "The answer is right in front of you" is you basically saying that it is in the credits.
:"Unknown" just mean that we have no idea and that someone should go look that up. The only reason why ''I'm'' not doing anything regarding finding VA is because I don't feel comfortable doing so.
:I wouldn't mind if you (or anyone in that matter) was going around getting sources. But stop going on about "X sounds like Y so it must be Z" or "It says X in the credits so Y must be X" for every other character (which your userpage clearly does).

Ok. I understand now. Ash could be the only child of his parents, but maybe when Ash was born, his dad left on his journey and took his twin sister with him.

== Mirage Cave Article ==

So I never played the Mystery Dungeon Games, so I was surprised to find out there was a Mirage Cave article that wasn't related to the new Mirage spots in ORAS. So should the current Mirage Cave be retrofitted to cover both versions, or should a new article or set of articles be coined? Like have Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and Mirage Spot (Cave) ? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
:Are they both called Mirage Cave? Because what you're implying is that in MD, it's called Mirage Cave whilst in ORAS, it's called Mirage Spot.

(If they are the same place, is not, then omit the parenthesis).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:06, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Both are called Mirage Cave, Any Pokémon Caught in a Mirage Cave will say so in their location met data. Lady Ariel has suggested that the MD version be called Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and the ORAS version called Mirage Cave (Hoenn)
This also affects the Mirage Island Article (although not as much) but also affects the Mirage Forest article (which redirects to a TCG article for some Region I only heard of today since I never played the TCG)

== Protection ==

Seems somebody unlocked the pedia ''too'' well: protecting pages isn't doing anything. Your lock on the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} page didn't stop people from editing and I can still edit [[Ash's Frogadier]]. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 12:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hiya ==

I'll disclose that I also [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster#Help_Requested_.28Templates.29|also asked SnorlaxMonster about this]], but just in case he doesn't know himself wanted to ask someone else too.

As that link says, I am basically adding new Egg Moves for Minun (and eventually Plusle as well), but I am not sure how to tag that the Egg Moves are in OR/AS only; in this case, Charm and Fake Tears are showing up IN THE FIELD as Egg Moves replacing the first move on both species, and though I haven't reached the breeder yet, the fact that they are showing up via the new mechanic confirms that they are Egg Moves themselves. I haven't done the breeding research to see who else can pass down the move, but for now Plusle and Minun themselves are the only mates I've labeled. (I also succeeded in finding a Lv.16 Plusle earlier, via DexNav, that turned out to know Charm itself; I've made edits to DexNav exclusive for single (non-horde) encounters for this reason.)

So my attempts to add the OR/AS tag were futile, I'm guessing because the tags were never created for the breed5 template. I have done research and found, for instance, Munchlax has a "HG/SS" tag on its [[Munchlax_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_IV_learnset#By_breeding|Gen IV breeding set]] and recalled Cinccino being unable to learn Thief via TM in B/W (corrected in B2/W2, thus the tag [[Cinccino_(Pokémon)/Generation_V_learnset#By_TM.2FHM|here]] next to the move in question), but looking at the code, I find it doesn't work for the breed5 template, suggesting the code doesn't exist for those tags there. This suspicion is confirmed when I see the following in the second "style" line on the template (converted as displayed, not in code form which you'd see in edit mode):

:BW=[[Pokémon Black and White Versions|BW]]

This needs to be updated to have an X/Y and OR/AS tag as I am sure there are other Egg Moves that are exclusive to OR/AS. If {{p|Minun}} could then be updated, then it can be copied to {{p|Plusle}} as well (the two new Egg Moves, that is) and either used as a reference for future exclusive Egg Moves. I'd add the code myself, but I don't have editing rights to the template and likely never will. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:21, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:UPDATE: I have looked and found that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Learnlist/breed6 breed6] now exists, created last month. I'm going to compare the two tags and see if I can figure out the differences. Of note, I see that editing is currently available to me for breed6, but I'm going to do some testing in my space to try adding the tags before I apply any updates there. Perhaps after I finish this research and possibly make edits, the template can be locked at that point? Once I know my tests work, I'll update Minun's egg move list over to the breed6 template after making the necessary edits on the template and then do the same for Plusle. Clearly, all breed5 need to be updated to breed6 on all pages, but more important to get the mechanics working first.

:Gotta go do a chore, but will be researching right after that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
::I've done more research. I don't know if we can create templates in user space. Can we create our own templates for testing in the template space and link to them from our user space? I'm can create "breed6Cyc" for testing and clearly note it's for testing, and once testing is complete and breed6 updated it can be deleted. Either way, I have looked at the structure of both breed5 and breed6 and found that the addition of OR/AS should be easy, as is X/Y; I'm going to look at the breed4 structure as well to make sure I don't mess up trying to add two as B2/W2 don't have their own switch on the breed5 template (probably nothing on that template exclusive to it).

Minun's breeding is changed completely over using data straight from the game for beauty, appeal, etc. but the switch isn't working. The template clearly needs another edit somewhere, but I am not sure where. It's possible, even though I mimicked the breed4 template perfectly, that something else needs to be created for it to function properly. Please review that and see what needs to be done? I'm finished editing for now until the switch works, then I'll see if I can add breeding research for Charm and Fake Tears before copying everything over to Plusle's page (since they are identical).

== If you're editing out English VA's from articles that source the credits... ==

Then you should probably edit out the English VA's for Argus Steel, Marilyn Flame, Ninja Riot, Xerneas, Dace and Merrick from the Movie 17 article since the source for their English VA's is the credits.[[User:Fire-flash|Fire-flash]] ([[User talk:Fire-flash|talk]]) 04:53, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

== Ash's Fletchinder ==

How come you erased the trivia regarding Fletchinder? It was discussed in the talk page long before it evolved to put it in after its evolution. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:14, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:The Fire types Ash had rescued and subsequently caught were Fire types when they were rescued and subsequently caught. Fletchinder, '''was not''' a Fire type when it was caught, so it is invalid.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:03, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

:Just checked Paul's page and realize what you mean. The image was placed in the trivia section making me think what's so trivial about the image. As for it's placement... I'm not too sure.

== Edit Permissions? ==

I'm currently in the area of the Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff articles editing TM lists and I see you protected Jigglypuff about 7-8 hours ago now. Any chance I can get the edit permissions necessary to edit [[Jigglypuff (Pokémon)|Jigglypuff's]] list? I have no interest in what went on (and am aware of it as well, as I commented to the person in question at one point). Hope I don't have to wait for a couple of days when I have the edit ready to go right now. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

::Ah, so there's no way to let anyone around it. That's too bad.

::::I personally thought with only one user involved, he had to be aware he should stop adding the content, and I don't think he's going to try to edit war again - I mean, at that point, he's risking being able to edit at all. I've seen another user do a lot of editing recently on a bunch of pages (I helped revert some of it), and much more than this user did, and those pages never got protected according to Recent Changes (and the edits did stop, perhaps the user was blocked and that just doesn't show). In this case, I think a final warning would have been enough, and any additional attempt to add the content gets him blocked temporarily, and others could continue to edit as needed. But I'm in no position to question these decisions, and like I said it's not a big deal anyway, so...yeah, I am working on the Spheal family now, not a big deal.
::::My goal now is really to finish the Hoenn group, anyway, then if I have to use a loaner for a couple of weeks I'll just create a temporary folder there for doing only Unova and Kalos species for TM/HM, catch locations, and Pokédex entries (where there is no Ruby/Sapphire to say is identical, and must be checked). Jigglypuff should be done before I have to use a loaner, and I'll try to use mine after getting it looked at until the repair can be made, but based on the last time this happened, it's gone for two weeks. My problem is that the ones not in the Hoenn Dex - and of those, that's pretty much all of them - need to be checked in Alpha Sapphire as well, and I'm using that for rematch research, so I might have to finish THAT project before looking for Dex information in that game (I can do OR at my leisure). Man, I'm taking on a lot. =) At least Jigglypuff's TM list can be updated before I leave on Monday. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== New Move Pages in Relicant's Userspace ==

I asked Relicant to pop in, but since you moved {{p|Hoopa}} and Crystal Talian moved {{p|Volcanion}}, I thought I better invite you to comment [[Talk:Volcanion (Pokémon)#Page Deletion|over here]] as well.

== Can you please explain why you deleted the comparison between Looker and Doctor Who in Looker's trivia page?==

I stated within that edit that I was not posting speculation as fact, and that I was well aware that it was not GameFreak's intention, but it still seemed relevant regardless because it was still Trivia that connected Looker to that character. In fact the connections between The Doctor and Audino seemed rather "too specific" that it felt like an easter egg if anything.
Trivia isn't necessarily "all fact" as long as there is enough basis to make a connection and people find it interesting.

== Mega Salamence ==

I have read your response, and honestly, that is not the right comparison to make.

Mega Evolutions are not like "two Onix's", Mega Evolutions are only used by a select few in the Pokémon games as they are deemed as the most powerful Pokémon forms. Let me tell you this, if there were two important characters that were using a shiny Metagross - would you simply state, "It's just two of the same Pokémon?" No. Because Shiny are considered as rare exceptions. Yes, the rate to get a shiny has increased, however, this does not change the overall specialty of shiny Pokémon. The same goes for Mega Evolutions. for even one Mega Evolution to be relevant by more than one character is a specialty. Yes, it is not interesting to you, but, I can guarantee you that it will interest every other person.

Just remember, this is Trivia that interest's everybody and not just you. I couldn't care less about Salamence's defense being the highest for Dragon types, but if it interest everyone else then I'm all for it. The same goes with my trivia.{{unsigned|Mega Charizard Z}}
:1) Please keep conversation in one talk page. It makes it easier to find where the discussion is taking place.
:2) Please sign your comments with four tildes (~) or by clicking the signature button above the edit box.
:3) Two trainers having the same Pokémon is not notable. Any two trainers can have the same Pokémon, regardless of whether it is a Mega or a shiny.
:4) I know that trivia should be interesting to everybody, but at the same time, it shouldn't be dull. Two trainers having the same Pokémon? So what? Ash and Dawn have a Quilava.

'''James's Mime Jr.''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのマネネ''' ''Kojirō's Manene'') was the third Pokémon caught by [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Advanced Generation series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], after {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}.

==History==
===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:James And Mime Jr.png|[[James]] and Mime Jr.|thumb|left|200px]]
James caught Mime Jr. by accident in ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'' after it purposefully initiated the capture mechanism on one of his empty [[Poké Ball]]s that had fallen on the floor. Mime Jr. previously resided with [[Nanny and Pop-Pop|the old couple]] who took care of an old vacation home of James's family; James went there when his Chimecho fell ill. Mime Jr. took an instant liking to James, keeping him company at night while he sat over Chimecho. James was thankful for this, and he told Mime Jr. that it was kindhearted. When it was time for James to leave, Chimecho was still ill, so he decided to leave it in care of the old couple. When he reached in his pocket to get Chimecho's Poké Ball, the empty ones fell out, and Mime Jr. rushed in. James asked why Mime Jr. would want to go with him, and the couple told him that Mime Jr. likes him and thinks he is a kind person. They also said "Looks like you've found yourself a good buddy in Mime Jr."

James won a [[Pokémon Orienteering]] contest with his {{p|Mime Jr.}} in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''.

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', Mime Jr. was used by [[Jessie]], under the alias of [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|Jessibelle]], in the [[Chrysanthemum Island|Chrysanthemum]] Pokémon Contest. They got through the round by preforming a Hula-Dance that was praised by the judges for showing of Mime Jr.'s cuteness. In the battle round, Mime Jr.'s first opponent was [[May's Combusken]]. Though it made use of its unusual {{m|Mimic}} and {{m|Tickle}} attacks, Mime Jr. was ultimately defeated when Combusken was energized by its mimicked {{m|Fire Spin}} and hit it with {{m|Sky Uppercut}}.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Jessie used {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and Mime Jr. in the appeal round of the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. Cacnea used {{m|Needle Arm}}, which Mime Jr. Mimics before using Tickle on Jessie as both Cacnea and Mime Jr. hug and tickle Jessie, spinning her around the stage. Cacnea then fires {{m|Pin Missile}}, which Mime Jr. mimics, into the sky and creating fireworks. This performance gets Jessie a high score, advancing her to the next round.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', [[Jessie]] used it during the appeal rounds of a Contest. Jessie commanded Mime Jr. to use {{m|Teeter Dance}}, and after storing up energy for several seconds, it let out a massive version of the attack that got everyone (the judges, audience and even [[Marian]]) dancing. The impressive display allowed Jessie to progress to the finals.

It was used in a battle with [[James's Carnivine]] during the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP176|Coming Full — Festival Circle!]]'' by [[Jessie]], where James was proud to see that they had won their round.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, James was forced to leave Mime Jr. at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native to the [[Unova]] region, and would seem suspicious.

== Personality and characteristics==
Mime Jr., as a Mime Pokémon, imitates what people do. Like {{TP|James|Chimecho}} before it, it regularly inserts itself at the end of the [[Team Rocket mottos|Team Rocket motto]] saying "Mime, Mime". It is seen fairly commonly out of its Poké Ball, similar to Chimecho, participating in Team Rocket's schemes. Also similarly to Chimecho, Mime Jr. is babied by James and he rarely lets it battle.

Mime Jr. has a great relationship with its Trainer and seems to quite like [[Jessie]], {{MTR}} and Wobbuffet. Like [[Dawn's Piplup]], it was shown in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to take insults straight to heart and sulk over them.

==Blurb==

Dawn needs to turn in her coupon for a new Pokétch application, but she has to do it at the Pokémon Center on the far side of the forest, and time is running out! Team Rocket, wearing disguises, hands Dawn and her friends a fake map and tells them there's a shortcut through a nearby cave, but first they want to take a photo of all our heroes' Pokémon. Before Team Rocket can complete their plot, a group of Graveler and Golem stampede through the cave, splitting up our heroes and all their Pokémon!

Now Dawn, Ash, and Brock are wandering through the cavern and the outdoor maze at the cavern's end. Meanwhile, Team Rocket discover why the Golem and Graveler were in a hurry: they were fleeing an irritated Onix! After some misadventures of her own, Dawn and Croagunk are reunited with Brock and several other Pokémon, including Ash's Staravia. When Brock asks Staravia to search for Ash in the maze, Team Rocket swoops down and nabs it!

Fortunately, Ash is nearby and he hears Dawn and Brock calling for him. He also sees Team Rocket with his Staravia! Ash has found many of Dawn and Brock's Pokémon, so he has them try to stop Team Rocket. Pachirisu accidentally shocks its own team and Team Rocket escapes-for now! Our heroes decide to work together to break through the wall separating them and soon the whole team is back together, except for Staravia.

Team Rocket come back once again, unable to resist the thought of all our heroes' Pokémon together in one place, but Ash and Pikachu are ready for them. Pikachu frees Staravia, then sends Team Rocket flying into the stratosphere. And even after all this excitement, Dawn still makes it to the Pokémon Center in time to get the Coin Toss application for her Pokétch!

==Plot==
The episode starts with {{an|Dawn}} leading {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} to a [[Pokémon Center]] in a hurry, in hopes of receiving a new {{DL|Pokétch|Apps|application}} for her [[Pokétch]]. When they arrive at the Center, however, the [[Nurse Joy]] there states that it is in fact the Pokémon Center on the other side of the woods that is giving away the application. She also states that the giveaway is ending soon, so the party heads out in a hurry for the Center on the other side of the woods.

On the way they are stopped by {{TRT}} in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]], who tell them that they can take a shortcut through a cave, and give them a free map to navigate through a maze at the end of the cave. In exchange for the map, however, the party must take a group photo of them and all their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inside the cave. While setting up the photo shoot, Team Rocket plan to swipe all of the party's Pokémon, but before they can everyone is interrupted by a group of {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} passing by (using {{m|Rollout}}). The party is thus split up.

Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} make it out of the cave first, meeting [[Paul]] who is attempting to capture a {{p|Fearow}} that is flying nearby. He asks if Paul has seen the others, to which Paul coldly replies no. There he decides to go find Brock and Dawn, leaving Paul be. Team Rocket, disguised as rocks, are able to split up Ash and Pikachu by blocking paths in the maze, but are then blasted off by the {{p|Onix}} that was chasing the earlier Golem and Graveler.

Dawn and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} make it out of the cave and into the maze next. They also meet Paul and his Fearow, ask him if he has seen the others, and leave when he rudely replies no. Brock, [[Ash's Turtwig]], {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Aipom}} exit the cave last, and follow suit by meeting with Paul, asking him if he has seen the others, and getting a cold reply (this time it's Paul who leaves). Staravia then volunteers to search for everyone by sky.

Pikachu, now alone, meets up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Croagunk saves Dawn from being squished by the Onix by pushing her into a crack in the maze wall which it made with {{m|Brick Break}}. Ash, regretting being split up with Pikachu, meets up with [[Dawn's Piplup]], {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. Though Piplup and Buizel quarrel about which way to go, they soon team up and are able to force the rampaging Onix to retreat (Ash tells them to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Water Gun}} respectively).

All the separate groups, except Ash's, finally find each other with Staravia's help. When Staravia flies back up to look for Ash's group, however, a recovered Team Rocket snatches it and temporarily escapes. Brock and Dawn finally find Ash by calling out, but are still separated by a single wall. Team Rocket then come back and trap Ash's group by crushing and placing rocks on the maze path. Ash tells Piplup and Buizel to use BubbleBeam and {{m|SonicBoom}} respectively at the {{TP|Team Rocket|Rocket Balloon|mechas}}, in order to free Staravia. He then tells Pachirisu and Sudowoodo to use {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Mimic}} (copying Ash's cheering on Pachirisu) respectively, but Pachirisu's Discharge zaps Ash's group accidentally, allowing Team Rocket to escape.

Everyone then decides to break a hole in the maze wall, and after a while of their Pokémon executing attacks on it, the wall is broken, but not without Team Rocket noticing them. Pikachu, however, surprises Team Rocket from atop a tall hill, then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to break Staravia's cage and finally {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

Everyone, now reunited, make it out of the maze and to the Pokémon Center, where Dawn receives the {{DL|Pokétch|Coin Flip}} application. They then continue on their journey, using the new application to lead the way.

'''Mairin''' (Japanese: '''マノン''' ''Manon'') is a character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a beginner Trainer and traveling companion of [[Alain]].

==Character==
Mairin is rather clumsy, often falling or tripping whenever she walks. Her {{p|Chespin}}, who travels with her outside of its Poké Ball, is quick to act in case her trips end up being too dangerous, in one instance having to grab her with {{m|Vine Whip|vines}} to pull her back up after she fell off of a somewhat small ledge.

Mairin has a fairly forceful attitude, despite being a new Trainer. When asked who she is by [[Siebold]], she proudly declares herself as Alain's traveling companion, despite being told by Alain to not follow him, and being left behind by him more than once.

==History==
Mairin first appeared with her {{p|Chespin}}, Chespie, jumping on some rocks on a river. She heard a lot of noise, which came from [[Alain]]'s and [[Astrid]]'s battle. Mairin went to the place where Alain and Astrid were battling, and hid behind some bushes while she watched the battle. She was surprised to see that the [[Mega Evolution|appearances]] of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Absol}} were different. She was even more surprised when they reverted back to their original forms.

After the battle, Alain caught her hiding from afar and told her to come on out. Mairin explained to him how she was confused about his Charizard's different appearance in which Alain confirmed it as Mega Evolution. She then told him about a {{Ash|Trainer}} who [[XY002|saved a Garchomp from going berserk]]. When Alain got a call from his Holo Caster, Mairin followed him to the location he was told to go to. After arrival in some old ruins, Mairin was unable to locate where he had gone. She found Alain when he was looking at the ruins' interior.

When [[Remo]] showed up and wanted to battle Alain, he told Mairin to go hide. Mairin continued to follow him despite Alain telling her not to. After the battle, they encountered a {{p|Flabébé}} and Mairin battled it with Chespie, her Chespin. She had trouble landing a single hit on the {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon, and after dodging a {{m|Pin Missile}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}, it laughed at her. Alain advised Mairin to use a move to inflict {{status|Poison}} or {{status|Confusion}} to slow Flabébé down. As such, Mairin ordered Chespie to use {{m|Toxic}}. Mairin threw a Poké Ball and caught the Flabébé. She went to the Pokémon Center to heal the Poison and she gave the Flabébé the nickname Bébé. While Mairin was busy, Alain left to a restaurant where [[Siebold]] was.

Mairin went to the restaurant and Alain and Siebold began their battle, with Siebold ultimately being the victor. Mairin was eventually accepted as a companion of Alain as he told her to do whatever she wanted.

== Pokemon Biologies ==

Hi! This is specifically about {{p|Starly}} eating the berries from {{p|Grotle}}. With the way we're doing biologies now, references are extremely important.

:Aight. I don't touch Biology much, since I know the format was changed recently and there's still a number of pages that haven't been changed. I just saw your summary saying you needed a reference, so did a quick check; the picture on Grotle's page wasn't used on another page and I didn't see it mentioned on Ash's Torterra, so didn't have a clue where it came from.

:Because it doesn't matter if they're no longer unique, the trivia point is solely about the introduction of new unique combinations.

Just so you know, it is probably a better idea to post to someone's talk page if it seems they aren't looking at the edit summaries.

== {{p|Vivillon|Viviyon}} name origin ==

I added the ll note so people can understand why the "y" is there. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 17:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:Yamitora1 brought up the name pronunciation on the talk page a while back and asked if it was notable. Funktastic pretty much said "Not really, that's how French works" and I agree. We already note that papillon is a French word, I don't think we should have to tell people how the French pronounce their letters (and if I recall correctly, "ll" is actually a different letter from "l" in romance languages, so it'd probably turn into a grammar lesson). Plus, the way you put it looked like it was saying there's an English sound in a Japanese word. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::I meant why the "y" is in "Viviyon". [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:::...That's what I just said. The "yon" sound comes from papillon, which doesn't need further explanation. The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 19:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

== Mother 3 and other franchises ==
Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history).

:Also, if you forget to sign a comment the first time, you're supposed to use the <nowiki>{{unsigned|User}}</nowiki> template instead of signing afterwards, as it messes up the time stamps. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Even Nintendo Copyrights?--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 00:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

And furthermore, Game Freak doesn't really matter at all when it comes to copyrights. They only have a small fraction of the claims to Pokemon and Mother: Nintendo owns everything about the two. Therefore, it seems stupid to me that we cannot cross reference something related to Pokemon AND owned by the same company, who referenced themselves in the first place. Smash Bros. would not be allowed on this wiki using this logic.
{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers. I don't care if you think it's dumb; I didn't make the rule, bring it up with the staff if you don't like it. Second, Smash Bros. is not even remotely like putting copyrighted characters as origin inspiration: Smash Bros ''has Pokémon properties in it''. Finally, use the preview button more often. It's annoying to have to keep retyping a message because you found a typo in your last message or you forgot to sign. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 01:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. What about the move Round? Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo. [[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 08:07, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
::What part of "in origin sections" do you not understand? There are some pages where we're allowed to speculate some; species pages are not one of them. I reiterate, '''I do not care if you don't like it'''. You're not going to convince me that I should undo my revision. Staff have said don't put copyrighted characters of other franchises/corporations/whatever in Pokémon's origin sections without solid evidence, the Mother series included. If you want them to see if your ''opinion'' is enough evidence, bring it up like another user did on [[User talk:Crystal Talian#Proper referencing to Pop culture|Crystal Talian's talk page]].

== Revert on volbeat breeding learnset ==

I added lightscreen, but you reverted it because "it's not an egg move" but i don't what that means. When the volbeat comes out of the egg at lvl 5 he has that move and the Dustox gets it by lvl up. So what is an egg move?, btw this is in sapphire. [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:An [[Egg move]] is a move that a Pokémon learns through breeding, though for the learn lists we narrow it down to moves it can ''only'' learn through breeding. Volbeat can already learn Light Screen through TM16. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 11:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::Ahh, got it, thanks for clearing that out. I understand :), i will check if the move is listed on TM or By lvl up before adding it to Breeding. Thanks again [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 15:27, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sorry==

I understand the problem, but I'm not going to change it. Please hear me out.

I'm not from the United States. I'm from the United States of America. I'm not accusing you or anyone else on Bulbapedia of this, but I'm sick of people (mostly self-righteous foreigners who think my countrymen are completely oblivious of the outside world) trying to drop "America" from the name, or referring to my people as "U.S. Americans" because there happens to be two continents that have America in their name.

Referring to the USA as "the United States" without "America" on the end isn't any more specific or accurate than just saying "America". The official, full name of Mexico ([[wp:Mexico|Estados Unidos Mexicanos]]) essentially translates to the United States of Mexico in English. Likewise, the USA is referred to as the Estados Unidos Americanos in Spanish. When Mexico won its independence, they modeled their government after ours, right down to the name. Either way you slice it, there's potential confusion.

None of the other countries in North or South America have America in their name. Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc. do not and have never identified as Americans. They identify as Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc., or in the past, as subjects of whatever empire they were a part of.

The USA was free to call itself what it wanted, America, long before any of them won their own independence or it was given to them.

So you can either ignore it, or change the official tag to United States of America. I will not bend to this extreme, ridiculous example of political correctness. If it means I get disciplined or even permanently banned, so be it. I'm tired of my people's identity being stolen from us.

Plus, the way you put it looked like it was saying there's an English sound in a Japanese word. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::I meant why the "y" is in "Viviyon". [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:::...That's what I just said. The "yon" sound comes from papillon, which doesn't need further explanation. The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon.

== Mother 3 and other franchises ==
Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history).

:Also, if you forget to sign a comment the first time, you're supposed to use the <nowiki>{{unsigned|User}}</nowiki> template instead of signing afterwards, as it messes up the time stamps. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Even Nintendo Copyrights?--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 00:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

And furthermore, Game Freak doesn't really matter at all when it comes to copyrights. They only have a small fraction of the claims to Pokemon and Mother: Nintendo owns everything about the two. Therefore, it seems stupid to me that we cannot cross reference something related to Pokemon AND owned by the same company, who referenced themselves in the first place. Smash Bros. would not be allowed on this wiki using this logic.
{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers. I don't care if you think it's dumb; I didn't make the rule, bring it up with the staff if you don't like it. Second, Smash Bros. is not even remotely like putting copyrighted characters as origin inspiration: Smash Bros ''has Pokémon properties in it''. Finally, use the preview button more often. It's annoying to have to keep retyping a message because you found a typo in your last message or you forgot to sign. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 01:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. What about the move Round? Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo. [[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 08:07, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
::What part of "in origin sections" do you not understand? There are some pages where we're allowed to speculate some; species pages are not one of them. I reiterate, '''I do not care if you don't like it'''. You're not going to convince me that I should undo my revision. Staff have said don't put copyrighted characters of other franchises/corporations/whatever in Pokémon's origin sections without solid evidence, the Mother series included. If you want them to see if your ''opinion'' is enough evidence, bring it up like another user did on [[User talk:Crystal Talian#Proper referencing to Pop culture|Crystal Talian's talk page]].

== Revert on volbeat breeding learnset ==

I added lightscreen, but you reverted it because "it's not an egg move" but i don't what that means. When the volbeat comes out of the egg at lvl 5 he has that move and the Dustox gets it by lvl up. So what is an egg move?, btw this is in sapphire. [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:An [[Egg move]] is a move that a Pokémon learns through breeding, though for the learn lists we narrow it down to moves it can ''only'' learn through breeding. Volbeat can already learn Light Screen through TM16. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 11:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::Ahh, got it, thanks for clearing that out. I understand :), i will check if the move is listed on TM or By lvl up before adding it to Breeding. Thanks again [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 15:27, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sorry==

I understand the problem, but I'm not going to change it. Please hear me out.

I'm not from the United States. I'm from the United States of America. I'm not accusing you or anyone else on Bulbapedia of this, but I'm sick of people (mostly self-righteous foreigners who think my countrymen are completely oblivious of the outside world) trying to drop "America" from the name, or referring to my people as "U.S. Americans" because there happens to be two continents that have America in their name.

Referring to the USA as "the United States" without "America" on the end isn't any more specific or accurate than just saying "America". The official, full name of Mexico ([[wp:Mexico|Estados Unidos Mexicanos]]) essentially translates to the United States of Mexico in English. Likewise, the USA is referred to as the Estados Unidos Americanos in Spanish. When Mexico won its independence, they modeled their government after ours, right down to the name. Either way you slice it, there's potential confusion.

None of the other countries in North or South America have America in their name. Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc. do not and have never identified as Americans. They identify as Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc., or in the past, as subjects of whatever empire they were a part of.

The USA was free to call itself what it wanted, America, long before any of them won their own independence or it was given to them.

So you can either ignore it, or change the official tag to United States of America. I will not bend to this extreme, ridiculous example of political correctness. If it means I get disciplined or even permanently banned, so be it. I'm tired of my people's identity being stolen from us.

== Steven tag battle ==

I couldn't find anything referring to the fact that if all three of the players pokemon faint but not stevens that you lose the battle should this be stated in white out or somewhere else--[[User:Just a simple edit|Just a simple edit]] ([[User talk:Just a simple edit|talk]]) 20:15, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
:Ah. You put that at the end of the wrong sentence; your edit was saying that the Gen IV tag battles had that happen, which looks confusing when there's no mention of the Steven battle acting differently. I'll put it in. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:38, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

== Sorry I mean the grass type pokemon he caught ==

The one he caught in honnen when he thabk his grass type pokemon to safe him from beedrill. --[[User:Terryberry94|Terryberry94]] ([[User talk:Terryberry94|talk]]) 18:43, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

== Your Correction To My Edit ==

Have you watched the episode? I'm pretty sure that's what Jessie says; you'd just have to listen closely. The only other one it could've been was {{p|Piloswine}}, but I'm pretty sure it was {{p|Mamoswine}}. Watch it again and then get back to me on it! [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 13:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
:I don't have the time nor the means to watch it. The requirements for it to be true are too fantastical for me to take your word for it. Try and get someone else to verify. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 13:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
::I can. I just verified it, and she clearly says Piloswine, not Mamoswine... ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:10, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

== Quick heads-up ==

I noticed you used the {{template|Preview button}} template. Make sure to subst: it, much like you would for the welcome template. So, it'd be <nowiki>{{subst:Preview button}}</nowiki>. Thanks! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:51, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

'''Ash's Hawlucha''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルチャブル''' ''Satoshi's Luchabull'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] region.

==History==
Prior to its capture, Hawlucha was the champion of a forest, where it helped maintain peace. Hawlucha gained this title after defeating the previous champion, a {{p|Machamp}}. After developing a rivalry with Hawlucha, Machamp retreated to some mountains so that it could train to become stronger.

Hawlucha made its first appearance in [[XY035]], where it battles an {{p|Ursaring}} that stole food from a group of Pokémon. Although it easily got the upper hand, Hawlucha missed its attempt to finish Ursaring off with {{m|Flying Press}}, leaving it open to attack. Ursaring was stopped by Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who scared it off. Ash offered to help Hawlucha perfect Flying Press, which eventually ended in success after countless failed attempts. They are interrupted by the Ursaring from before, who teamed up with a {{p|Conkeldurr}} so that they could trick the previous champion, Machamp, into believing that Hawlucha was actually terrorizing the forest Pokémon.
[[File:Ash and Hawlucha.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Hawlucha]]
Machamp challenged Hawlucha to battle, and despite Hawlucha's power, it managed to easily take Hawlucha's attacks. Ursaring and Conkeldurr then stepped in and began double-teaming Hawlucha. Although reluctant at first, Machamp realized who the real villain was and defeated Ursaring and Conkeldurr. Machamp carried the two away and said its goodbyes to Hawlucha. Later, Ash challenged Hawlucha to battle with the condition that if he wins, Hawlucha will join his team. Despite the speed of [[Ash's Froakie]], it was easily able to outmaneuver it avoiding its {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Bubble}} attacks, despite this, the battle ended in a tie when Froakie's {{m|Pound}} collided with its Flying Press. Although Hawlucha didn't lose the battle, it decided to join Ash's team.

==Personality and characteristics==
Hawlucha is shown to be cool, calm, and collected; similar to {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. Hawlucha is very determined in battle and never gives up, no matter how bad the situation may look and is always ready to improve itself. It has been shown to be quite powerful, as it was called the champion of the forest. Hawlucha is also shown to be kind and protective when it defended the smaller Pokémon's food from an Ursaring.

==In the manga==
===In the movie adaptations===
Hawlucha appeared in the manga adaptation of the 17th movie.

==Trivia==
* Hawlucha is Ash's first basic stage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon that is not capable of evolving.
* Not counting [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] (who had no evolution at the time of her capture), Hawlucha is Ash's first [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that cannot evolve]] since {{AP|Torkoal}}, who was caught [[AG058|502 episodes earlier]].
** Coincidentally, Torkoal was also voiced by [[Shin'ichirō Miki]] in Japanese.

** This Pokemon shares many similarities to [[Tracey's Sycther]] and [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it very proud, a leader, and refuses to lose.

'''Bonnie''' (Japanese: '''ユリーカ''' ''Eureka'') is a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with her older brother, {{an|Clemont}}.

==History==
Bonnie was first seen with her brother Clemont in [[Lumiose City]]. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside to challenge the Lumiose Gym. When Ash was ejected out of the building, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] by catching him before he hit the ground. Thinking that he was cute, Bonnie hugged Pikachu, who shocked her in retaliation. Bonnie quickly apologized and explained that she is too young to have her own Pokémon and therefore always becomes excited when she meets one. Though she cannot own a Pokémon, she participates in other activities when she can. When Clemont and Ash had a battle against each other, she refereed the match for them. She later led them to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab when {{AP|Froakie}} was injured by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Bonnie met Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} and played with the professor's other Pokémon, before Team Rocket infiltrated the lab. Bonnie tagged along with Ash and Clemont to help free the enraged Garchomp from the machine controlling her, and Bonnie watched her brother use one of his inventions to break in to the Prism Tower.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Bonnie and Clemont officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through [[Kalos]]. Later in the episode, the group encountered a wild {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Bonnie begged Clemont to allow her to keep Dedenne, but he ran off before they could do anything. She later watched with her brother as Ash caught a wild {{AP|Fletchling}}. After it was caught, Bonnie scolded Fletchling for stealing Dedenne's food but quickly forgave the Pokémon.

Then, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Bonnie met the Dedenne from the previous episode when it stole the food she was trying to feed to Pikachu and Fletchling. She begged Clemont to capture it for her, but Dedenne forced the group to chase it in several holes in the ground, which caused Dedenne and Pikachu to get lost together. Eventually, Pikachu and Dedenne returned, but a previous encounter with Team Rocket left Dedenne exhausted to the point of fainting, much to Bonnie's horror. After Dedenne was rejuvenated by one of Clemont's inventions, it bonded with Clemont and helped defeat Team Rocket. Afterward, Dedenne allowed Clemont to capture it so that Bonnie could keep it in her satchel.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Bonnie, Ash, and Clemont arrive at [[Santalune City]] and meet [[Viola]], whom they later find out that she is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Santalune Gym]]. Upon seeing Viola's photos of Bug-type Pokémon, Bonnie becomes impressed and immediately asks Viola if she could marry Clemont, causing him to become embarrassed and drag her out of the Gym with his {{p|Aipom}} arm. Then, she, Clemont, and [[Alexa]] watch Ash's battle against Viola and also meet {{an|Serena}}, another Trainer. Later on, after Ash loses to Viola, she is properly introduced to Serena and then watches as Ash trains with Alexa for his upcoming rematch against Viola.

[[XY006|Later on]], Bonnie continued to show her support for Ash in his training even though she was falling asleep, and prompting Clemont to put her to bed. The next day, she, Clemont, Serena, and Alexa cheered for Ash during his rematch and subsequent victory against Viola.

==Character==
Bonnie is a young and cheerful girl who is always excited to meet new Pokémon. At times, she gets too invasive with Pokémon, similar to {{an|Iris}}, [[Burgandy]] and {{an|Bianca}}, causing them to attack her. She is very proud of her brother's accomplishments as an inventor but sometimes criticizes him. For reasons currently unknown, she tries to find a wife for Clemont, first seen when she asks [[Viola]] and {{kal|Jessica}} if they could marry her brother, causing him to get embarrassed and comically remove her with his Aipom arm.

Another notable trait of Bonnie's is her desire to not feel left out. Though she cannot own her own Pokémon, she participates in things that are available to her, such as refereeing unofficial matches. She also asks her brother permission to "keep" Pokémon that she one day wants to train, when she is old enough to be a Trainer. These accomplishments may seem small but they are a way for Bonnie to occupy herself and continuously learn more about being a Trainer.

All in all, Bonnie is still a child. She occasionally pouts whenever she doesn't get her way, and in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she became tired easily and had to be put to bed early.

==Trivia==
* Bonnie is the youngest female protagonist.
* Bonnie serves as an antithesis to {{an|Brock}}'s {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}} as she is the one who requests any older female character that the group encounters to marry Clemont and is subsequently removed by him instead of the other way around.
* Much like {{an|Iris}} at the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Bonnie (along with Ash and Clemont) was shocked by Pikachu when first meeting Ash. This follows the running gag in the anime, which involves Pikachu accidentally shocking all of Ash's female traveling companions' [[bicycle]]s, or, if they do not have one, the girls themselves.

Walking Pokémon

2014-02-08T14:39:42Z

Thenmark2: /* In the anime */

[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|right|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|right|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger some expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Cerulean Cape#Sea Cottage|Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}, Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status ailment]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Amity Square===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} with their {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Marill}}, respectively]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|right|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon captured by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an [[Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu]] becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Pokémon will additionally do as they did in Amity Square and occasionally pick up items and accessories, though it is unknown what items can be found this way or if these items vary by species. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Fire Pokémon are a special case: they react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet.

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.
====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}}'s {{p|Marill}} follows them throughout their encounters with the player and is used during the Pokémon catching tutorial they offer. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.
===Humilau City===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations, possibly to show the mechanic hasn't been forgotten. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give them a reward, a Pearl. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|200px|{{an|Misty}} carrying [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]]]]
Several Pokémon walk with their Trainers outside of their Poké Ball in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being released from it in [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Though Ash eventually insisted he go inside for protection as he defended them both from the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}} he encountered, Pikachu still did not, and has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was captured by Mewtwo.

[[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being recalled to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an Egg in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]], subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually released by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted as one.

Like Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] has also become a walking Pokémon, though he was initially completely fine with staying inside at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with it, unlike Pikachu. Since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms much like Misty did Togepi. In some episodes, however, Piplup instead rides on either her head or her shoulder.
[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|200px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. It is unknown if Axew has any dislike of a Poké Ball, as the issue of if he even has one has not been raised in the series.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] has become a walking pokemon, usually appearing in Bonnie's bag.

Several of [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] frequently, without its Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Wobbuffet is thus something of a fourth team member.

==Trivia==
* Most of the recurring walking Pokémon in the anime have not evolved or refuse to do so. The only exceptions are Misty's Togetic and Cameron's Lucario, although Togetic was released soon after evolving. [[Iris's Axew]]'s dream in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' revealed that he wants to evolve into his final form.
* It is impossible to face an opposing Trainer with walking Pokémon, because all NPCs with walking Pokémon are either [[tag battle]] partners or do not battle, and in the communication part of the [[Pokémon Center]]s, walking Pokémon are not allowed.

List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series

2014-01-30T13:32:54Z

Thenmark2: /* Meloetta */

{{incomplete|needs=Personality and characteristics section for Marill, Slowking, Spoink, Suicune, Wynaut, Hippopotas and Loudred}}
Several [[wild Pokémon]] had a recurring role in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Jigglypuff==
[[File:Jigglypuff anime.png|thumb|250px|Jigglypuff]]
{{main|Jigglypuff (anime)}}
The first recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made the most appearances, is {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. At first it couldn't {{m|sing}}, but that changed once {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Jigglypuff followed the gang throughout their journey until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.

{{p|Slowking}} first appeared as one of the main characters in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
This {{pkmn2|talking}} Slowking lived on [[Shamouti Island]], and was the guardian of the shrine located on the island. He gave {{Ash}} advice on where to find the Ice, Thunder and Fire Spheres. He later praised the [[Team Rocket trio]], upset that no-one saw them being heroes, telling them that their heroic actions [[Breaking the fourth wall|did not go unnoticed]].

Slowking appeared again in ''[[Slowking's Day]]'', showing what he does on a daily basis. It was revealed that his interests include coconuts, taking walks, flowers, afternoon naps, the ocean, friends, and the sunset.

{{p|Suicune}} first appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as a form of energy. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest, {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something and led the trio to a lake. Suicune was standing on a small island in the lake. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to capture it. However, Suicune ran away towards the direction of [[New Bark Town]] as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Ash and group chased it to New Bark from where they began their [[Johto]] [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|adventure]].

Suicune appeared once again in the episode, ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed a [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from {{Ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a web by using {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. The bugs even attacked Ash, Misty, Brock, [[Morty]] and [[Eusine]] when they wanted to go to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared, calming down the Pokémon and freeing the Rocket trio as well as the city from the webs of the bugs. Eusine wanted to capture Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used a {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its [[Poké Ball]] and fled from the place before Eusine could even react.

Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers went all throughout the town chased by a {{p|Houndour}} who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse was collapsing.

They also have a number of friends living in [[Big Town]] that regularly take part in their adventures. They have all made appearances in various side story episodes, as well as a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and the gang have also received their own game for the [[Pokémon mini]], [[Pichu Bros. mini]].

Loudred then sent her, [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying with an extremely loud {{m|Screech}} attack. It reappeared again in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'' where it was pinched on the ear by Ash's Corphish. Loudred ran around in pain, screeching, causing the {{TP|May|Silcoon}} to fall from {{an|May}}'s arms and roll off, separating it and the other Pokémon that went to its rescue to become separated from their Trainers. Loudred's last appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' where [[Professor Birch]] fell from a {{p|Wingull}}'s nest on to it, waking it from its sleep. Loudred screeched at him before leaving.

{{p|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. It had lost its pearl, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were trying to find it. As it turns out, {{TRT}} had found it and had traded it to the [[Magikarp salesman]] for a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}. After learning this, the kids confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

It made its second, and final, appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the kids learned from a scientist named [[Isaiah]] that Spoink's pearls come from {{p|Clamperl}}. Eventually, they found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. They said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.

After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using {{m|Psychic}} to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, including an angry {{p|Electrode}}, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with [[Ash's Torkoal]] during its adventures with the group.

It seems to be similar to {{an|Jigglypuff}}, as like Jigglypuff, it is also offended as its listeners fall asleep and it inflates itself in anger.

{{p|Hippopotas}} made his first appearance in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost and he was separated from the rest of the Hippopotas and Hippowdon. Ash and friends helped Hippopotas find his way back to the herd. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like to be carried on top of Ash's head.

[[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name; she and her {{TRT}} fellows attempted to steal Hippopotas for their boss.

Hippopotas's final appearance was in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon.

* Although Hippopotas weighs {{tt|109.1 pounds|49.5 kilograms}} in the games, Ash has no problem carrying him. This is an example of [[anime physics]].

Meloetta began following Ash and his friends in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]''. It is the first [[legendary Pokémon]] to follow the group, although [[Victini]] did in [[M14]] and Celebi would of in a dropped storyline.

==Recurring Pokémon that have been caught==
Six Pokémon that recurred in the anime were later caught, five by {{Ash}} and one by {{an|Clemont}}. An {{AP|Aipom}} began following the group through the [[Kanto]] region, and was caught three episodes later by Ash in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. Ash also caught a {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' after helping him to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Later on, Ash caught an {{AP|Oshawott}} that followed him from [[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''. He later caught the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} that had been following him since ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' in ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]''. He also caught a {{AP|Froakie}} in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' that helped save him from {{TRT}}. Clemont caught a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} that was following the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' which he gave to {{an|Bonnie}} to take care of.

'''Serena''' (Japanese: '''セレナ''' ''Serena'') is a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]].

==History==
As a young child, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]], against her will, to attend a Pokémon Summer Camp, which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day, while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. Then, she met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it is a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash advised her to never give up until the end and helped her up before escorting her out of the forest. Afterwards, she returned to [[Kalos]], bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

Serena made her first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where she was forcibly woken up by her {{kal|Grace|mother}}'s {{p|Fletchling}}. In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', she attempted to practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing after being encouraged by her mother, a famous Rhyhorn racer herself. However, Serena's attempts at controlling her mother's Rhyhorn ended with her being sent crashing into the ground.

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

She began her Pokémon journey in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' when she set off to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in Lumiose City. Immediately upon arriving, Serena questioned the Professor about the boy on television and he confirmed that it was indeed Ash Ketchum. However, to Serena's disappointment, Ash had already left Lumiose City the previous day. Serena was then offered to choose her [[starter Pokémon]].

In [[XY004]], Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a Pokédex, and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin, but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]] who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In [[XY005]], she finally reached [[Santalune City]] and found Ash during his gym battle with [[Viola]]. She introduced herself to him, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}, after returning his backpack when it was left behind at the Gym. At the end of the episode, she asks Ash if he remembers her, to which the episode abruptly ends.

In [[XY006]], she revealed that the two of them met at the Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger. Although Ash remembered the camp, he didn't specifically remember meeting Serena, much to her disappointment. Serena quickly regained her composure and reminded him that he once told her to never give up. Hearing these words helped Ash continue his training in order to win the rematch against Viola. During the rematch, Ash was visibly becoming overwhelmed by Viola's battling strategy, but Serena yelled at him to never give up. The inspiration that he had once given Serena was now being given to him, and these words pushed him continue the battle. At the end of the episode, after winning the Bug Badge, Ash asked Serena what her plans for the future were.

Serena officially began traveling with Ash and his friends in [[XY007]]. This was when Serena revealed why she began her journey in the first place. After seeing Ash on TV, she decided that she would begin a Pokémon journey in order to return the handkerchief he used to mend her knee injury. After she returned the handkerchief, Ash remembered their encounter and called her the "Straw Hat Girl".

Later on, Serena helped teach Ash how to ride and race on a Rhyhorn when he expressed an interest in Rhyhorn racing. While doing so, Serena's opinion on Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn riding quickly changed when the Rhyhorn were very friendly towards her. Later, while she was helping Ash learn to ride, she called out similar words Serena's mother had yelled to her during her Rhyhorn riding lessons at home. At that moment, Serena realized that she had misjudged the sport of Rhyhorn racing and that perhaps she did not hate it as much as she thought. Serena expressed in the same episode that she did not dislike Rhyhorn Racing but that she wanted to find a goal that she likes even more.

The next day, Ash was captured by {{TRT}} and Serena had to help rescue him. This was when Serena had her first Pokémon battle, commanding Fennekin to use {{m|Ember}} on the criminals. At the end of the episode, she gave Ash a pouch of cookies, saying it was her way of thanking him for all he had done for her.

In [[XY009]], Serena learned from Clemont's father, [[Limone]], that Clemont is the Lumiose City Gym Leader. Although initially angry with Clemont for keeping this secret from her along with Ash, she helped try and take back the Gym from the malfunctioning [[Citroid]]. She battled Clemont's Pokémon with her Fennekin, but they managed to avoid its attacks, forcing {{AP|Froakie}} to step in and defeat it. Later, she watched Clemont battle and defeat Citroid for the control of the Lumiose Gym.

==Character==
Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent a lot of time carefully selecting an outfit, but was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret, but she promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother chose was certain to be the unfashionable one. Later, in [[XY007]], Serena expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]].

Serena also seems to like baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this is demonstrated in [[XY007]], when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in [[XY010]], she had baked some macarons for the group, but were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}.

Since the start of the series, Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl. However, in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she was openly rebellious towards her mother. She refused to wake up when her mother ordered her to do so and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Serena's mother made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, which she had hated doing.

==Trivia==

* It took Serena [[XY007|seven episodes]] to join Ash's group, the longest time out of all of Ash's traveling companions to join his group after being introduced.
* Serena is the first female traveling partner to not get herself or her bike shocked by Pikachu at the start of the series.
** {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} all had their bikes electrocuted, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bonnie}} were directly shocked by Pikachu.
* Serena is the first character to have been invited into the group by Ash.
* Serena is the first of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} to have known him prior to the [[EP001|beginning of the series]], which means it's been less than 10 years since then.

That's what you taught me, so I'll stand up

Once you've packed the power of a dream into your heart
Its certain that someone will call out your name
The wind laughs through the trees of the green forest
The yellow flowers open

Someday, my dream will be fulfilled
Yesterday I shouted it, so I'll go out on my journey

The red ring of a bond spreads far and wide
I'll definitely reach out to everyone with this energy I suddenly feel
The blue star of hope is shining
The yellow flowers bloom

Dragon, Ghost, Ground, Flying
Poison, Bug, Water, Electric, Rock, Grass, Dark
Ice, Normal, Fire, Fighting
Steel, Psychic, Fairy

==Trivia==
[[File:OPJ17 differences.png|thumb|A few notable differences]]
* In a preview shown on ''Pocket Monsters XY: Road to Kalos'', the opening had several differences to the version aired with [[XY001]].
** The camera rises to the sky much faster than in the preview version during the beginning scene.
** Two [[Form differences#Vivillon|Elegant Pattern]] {{p|Vivillon}} are added to the scene where {{p|Swanna}} are flying behind some grapes.
** In the scene where the main characters run across a street, {{an|Serena}}'s body and ponytail are redrawn.
*** Also, a minor coloration error regarding the right strap on {{Ash}}'s backpack is fixed.
** When the main characters are standing in the hills, more hair is added on Ash's head, and his hat is slightly redrawn.
*** During Ash's face shot scene, more grass is added beneath his feet, his nose, eyes and cheek birthmarks are redrawn, and a white stripe is added to the background.
*** During Serena's face shot scene, the image of her face moves across the screen instead of being still, her nose and eyes are redrawn, and colored dots are added to the background.
*** During {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}'s face shot scene, the images of their heads are slightly relocated, their eyes, noses and backpacks are redrawn, and a blue decoration is added to the background.
*** During the transitions between these face shots, the characters now appear blurred when they move.
** After {{MTR}} falls off {{TRT}}'s balloon, the camera zooms out in the preview version. However, this isn't the case in the final opening.
** When Ash is seen running in a field, sunlight and motion blur effects are added.
*** The scenery and camera angle have changed as well; due to this, Ash is also slightly redrawn during some frames.
** The rocky outcrop appearing before Ash is remodeled, and the shading is changed.
** The [[Gym Leader]]s' order was changed so that it matches the order they are fought in [[Pokémon X and Y]].
** Motion blur is added throughout the battling scene between {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pangoro}}, along with other animation changes.
*** The scenery is remodeled, the sky being recolored and some trees being relocated.
*** Pikachu is redrawn in some frames, and more motion blur effects are added to him when he is using {{m|Quick Attack}}.
*** When Pikachu hits Pangoro with {{m|Iron Tail}}, the latter is given a yellow coloration during the impacts in the preview version, like if Pikachu was using an [[Electric (type)|Electric]] attack. This is corrected in the final version.
*** Lighting effects are added to Pangoro and the rocks Pikachu hit with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. A shadow is also added to Pangoro.
** During the scene where the protagonists' Pokémon are seen using their moves, the background scenery is less blurry and now features a rocky outcrop in the forest, along with relocated mountains.
*** The mud drops appearing when [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] uses {{m|Dig}} are changed to white flashing dot effects.
*** Ash's nose is given a shadow, which was not fully colored in the preview version.
*** [[Ash's Froakie]] now has a {{m|Water Pulse}} sphere in each of his hands, and he aims the move much closer to the camera.
** The [[Mega Evolution]] logo effects are slightly remodeled.
** When the ground breaks during {{p|Lucario|Mega Lucario}}'s appearence, the camera shakes differently.
** The effects on the {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} scene are slightly different.
** The ''Y'' in the {{series|XY}} logo is given a brighter coloration.
** The effects during the final group shot are changed. In the preview version, the group is drawn normally and the art style changes vastly after they pose; while in the final version, the art style is different and is present during the whole scene.

===Errors===
* During the scene with a rainy town, a female {{p|Meowstic}} can be seen with a male Meowstic's tail.
* During the scene when a rocky outcrop appears in front of Ash and the camera shakes, his legs are seen cut off in one frame.
* During Pikachu's battle against a {{p|Honedge}} and a {{p|Pangoro}}, Pikachu used {{m|Quick Attack}} on Honedge and it worked despite {{t|Ghost|Ghost-type}} Pokémon being immune to {{t|Normal|Normal-type}} moves unless Foresight is used..<gallery>

'''Jessie's Wobbuffet''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのソーナンス''' ''Musashi's Sonans'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by [[Jessie]] during her travels through [[Johto]].

==History==
===Original series===
[[File:Wobbuffet initial appearance.png|thumb|170px|left|Wobbuffet's first appearance, under the ownership of Benny]]
=====With Benny=====
Wobbuffet originally belonged to a Trainer named {{jo|Benny}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Benny was searching for someone to trade Wobbuffet with for a stronger Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] in [[Palmpona]]. Benny was not successful at first, though a Trainer with a {{p|Stantler}} seemed to his offer, but then bailed for a {{p|Hoothoot}} at the last minute. Jessie's Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} then accidentally fell into the machine instead when she crashed into it. Unbeknownst to her, Lickitung got swapped for Wobbuffet.

=====With Jessie=====
[[File:Jessie Lickitung Wobbuffet trade.png|thumb|200px|right|Jessie was unaware that her Lickitung had been traded to Benny for his Wobbuffet]]
Later, after the trade had commenced, Jessie wanted to send out her Lickitung to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but to her surprise, Wobbuffet appeared instead. [[James]] then immediately looked up its moves for Jessie. Even though Wobbuffet had no offensive attacks, it managed to counter {{AP|Chikorita}}'s attacks back to her. Wobbuffet was blasted off along with the [[Team Rocket trio]] by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Since the episode ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', Wobbuffet had its place in the {{motto|Team Rocket motto}}, first before Meowth (which usually left him very upset) and some episodes later, right after {{MTR}}. It could often be heard crying out subsequent to the "Team Rocket is blasting off again!" line, even if it was not out of its Poké Ball when the team was sent blasting off. Wobbuffet was thus somewhat a fourth team member.

When Wobbuffet popped out of its Poké Ball in ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]'', and redirected {{MTR}}'s attack back to himself, Jessie had the idea of building the Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet where it would counter any attack back to the user similar to Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}}.

In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', Ash, his friends and Team Rocket came across a festival honoring Wobbuffet. Jessie's Wobbuffet popped out of its Poké Ball much to the villagers's excitement. The [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]] then showed up to attack the Wobbuffet and Jessie sent out her Wobbuffet to battle them. Jessie's single-handedly took out the Wobbuffet Festival crashers's Pokémon with the use of Counter and Mirror Coat.

In ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Wobbuffet battled [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, '''Mini-Dit'''. Mini-Dit {{m|transform}}ed into Wobbuffet and used the same moveset to battle Wobbuffet and Arbok. Wobbuffet ended up losing to its miniature counterpart, however.

In ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]'', Wobbuffet was tasked with guarding the Poké Pod containing Ash's Pikachu. During the chase to get the Pod, Wobbuffet, along with the Pod and the key to it, was separated from Jessie and went on an action-packed adventure. It bumped into a thief named [[Goneff]] who was not happy with Wobbuffet bumping into his vehicle. However, Goneff took Wobbuffet hostage. Team Rocket then dug a hole and headed to the warehouse Goneff was hiding from underground to rescue Wobbuffet. Ash and his {{AP|Totodile}} went with them only for Totodile to get badly hurt by Golem. When Golem was about to finish off Totodile, Wobbuffet jumped in the way and sent Golem flying to its Trainer. Ash was then able to get the Poké Pod back but Wobbuffet still had the key as it flew away along with the Team Rocket trio on the Wobbuffet-shaped balloon. Ash sent out {{AP|Noctowl}} to get the key from Wobbuffet, however. Noctowl was successful and Pikachu was freed from the Poké Pod.

===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:Team Rocket Wobbuffet pose.png|thumb|200px|right|Team Rocket joking with Wobbuffet in the {{series|AG}}]]
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', Wobbuffet was sent out to battle [[Rico]]'s {{p|Tyranitar}}. It was getting ready to counter Tyranitar's {{m|Hyper Beam}} but fainted as Hyper Beam was too strong.

In ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', Wobbuffet put on the disguise of a maid which made a humongous Claydol fall in love with it. This was part of a plan to get this dangerous Claydol back inside its stone Poké Ball. When Wobbuffet's disguise was revealed, Claydol was angry, but Claydol was returned to its stone Poké Ball before Wobbuffet was hurt.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
Wobbuffet participated in its first Contest onscreen in ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]''. Jessie planned for it to use the countering technique against [[Harley]]'s {{p|Ariados}}. However, this backfired, as Ariados's {{m|String Shot}} manipulated it into a puppet. Since then, it was used in other Contests, but would usually cause the elimination of Jessie for one reason or another.

Wobbuffet ran away from the group in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' after a fake ghost made by some Ghost Pokémon scared it off. While it was running away it saw a {{p|Kirlia}} dancing and fell in love with it. When Team Rocket caught Pikachu and Kirlia, Wobbuffet jumped into the mecha after it and broke the Kirlia and its Psychic Pokémon friends free from Team Rocket's capture. Entirely thanks to Wobbuffet, Team Rocket's plan was completely ruined.

[[File:Jessilina Wobbuffet.png|thumb|220px|Jessilina with her Wobbuffet]]
===Diamond & Pearl series===
{{incomplete|section|More detailed information}}
Jessie relied on Wobbuffet more often in [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, it often did not do well similar to the ones in Kanto.
In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' Jessie choose Wobbuffet for the appeals round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. After being sent out Jessie had Wobbuffet run straight towards her and use Counter, which sent her flying sky high. The judges were not impressed by this which caused Jessie to lose.

===Best Wishes series===
[[File:Wobbuffet Comeback BW142.png|thumb|250px|right|Wobbuffet popping out behind, and reuniting with Jessie, James, and Meowth]]
Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Wobbuffet at [[Team Rocket HQ (anime)|Team Rocket's headquarters]] as it is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and would attract attention.

Since then, Wobbuffet made appearances along with {{MTR}} in the [[Pikachu shorts]], [[PK23]], ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Senerade]]'' and [[PK25]]. Strangely, the three of these shorts take place during the {{series|BW}}, which Wobbuffet is normally absent from for the aforementioned reasons. It should be noted, however, that these shorts call into question their [[canon]]icity with the main anime series altogether.

Wobbuffet's only appearance in a ''Best Wishes'' series episode was in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. After returning to [[Kanto]] and giving away their Unova Pokémon to {{an|Giovanni}}, the Team Rocket trio walked through a corridor only for Wobbuffet to pop up, surprising them. Wobbuffet was later seen with Team Rocket as they eavesdropped on Ash in his house in [[Pallet Town]], marking its return to Jessie's team.

===XY series===
Wobbuffet reappeared as a member of Jessie's team in the XY series, where it was shown to be much more competent in battle. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Wobbuffet was used in a battle against Pikachu, where it almost defeated Pikachu by returning his {{m|Thunderbolt}} right back at him with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. However, a wild {{AP|Froakie}} came in and defended Pikachu from a reflected {{m|Electro Ball}}. Froakie helped defeat Wobbuffet by using its Frubbles to knock Wobbuffet on its back due to its inability to reflect moves that aren't attacks. Wobbuffet was soon blasted off by Pikachu, Froakie, and [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Even though Wobbuffet has been absent, it still been shown to be doing its comical pose every time Team Rocket do their motto.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Jessie Wobbuffet love.png|thumb|200px|left|Wobbuffet [[AG146|in love]]]]
Wobbuffet was used occasionally for battles. {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s knowledge of moves like {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} came in handy, since Team Rocket often found itself on the receiving end of powerful attacks.

Wobbuffet usually served as a comic relief character. It would emerge from its [[Poké Ball]] frequently as a running gag, and often at inappropriate times. Team Rocket have also had [[Team Rocket's mechas|various vehicles and robots]] based on it.[[File:Wobbuffet pop out.png|thumb|250px|right|Wobbuffet popping out of its Poké Ball]]

Even though Jessie often seemed annoyed with Wobbuffet, she was shown to truly care for it. This is showcased in a handful of episodes, including ''[[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]'', in which Wobbuffet temporarily went missing. Jessie was very worried and desperately went searching for it on the island. Another instance was in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' where Jessie was upset at [[James]]'s idea to send Wobbuffet to {{an|Giovanni}} since they couldn't tell it apart from [[Narissa]]'s {{p|Ditto}}.

Wobbuffet also seems to care for Jessie deeply and see her as a motherly figure. This can be seen in ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]'', when it was lost and imagined a cloud in the shape of Jessie, childishly clapping with joy after noticing it. Even so, its loyalty has sometimes been in question, such as in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', where it temporarily left the group to hang out with some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and even single-handedly stopped Team Rocket's plan to steal Pokémon.

==Moves used==

==In the manga==
[[File:Jessie Wobbuffet AP.png|thumb|left|Jessie's Wobbuffet in the Ash and Pikachu manga]]

{{-}}
==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and Wobbuffet.png|thumb|200px|right|Jessie and Wobbuffet]]
* Wobbuffet was the first traded Pokémon to become an important part of the main cast.
* For [[DP024]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Jessie's Wobbuffet. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: きがつけば　なのりもやってる　ソーナンス
* Until [[Duplica]] pointed out the existence and effect of {{m|Mirror Coat}} to Jessie, she always told Wobbuffet to use {{m|Counter}} to deflect attacks. Depending on the move, Wobbuffet would "do what it had to do to defend itself". After this, due to Jessie having trouble distinguishing the two moves, she would instead commonly tell Wobbuffet to counter ''that attack'', seemingly letting it decide what to do itself.
* Wobbuffet spent 511 consecutive episodes as a part of Jessie's party, making it the Pokémon to have spent the most time on a main character's party before leaving, more than two [[Advanced Generation series|complete]] [[Diamond & Pearl series|series]] together, and spending the third-most time as a main cast member, after {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{MTR}}.
* Wobbuffet has appeared at least once in every series so far.
* Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon Team Rocket obtained in the original series to still be owned if Meowth is not counted.

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is a young boy from the {{pkmn|anime}}, and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. He is not a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and he did not own any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} during the entire {{series|Advanced Generation}}. He is the younger brother of {{an|May}}, and the son of [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], and [[Caroline]].

==Character==
[[File:Max farewell.png|thumb|220px|left|Max's farewell]]
Max is somewhat of a know-it-all, relying mostly on book smarts than actual experience. He seems to have come under {{an|Brock}}'s tutelage for real-world knowledge. A running gag in the series is that Max is often excited or happy to experience firsthand an attack or Ability that a Pokémon is well known for, such as {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}, or {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing}}. Max also took {{an|Misty}}'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between him and his older sister May, such as telling embarrassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things. For example, in the movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', May asked Jirachi to "get rid of the problem," and Jirachi, supposedly reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed her to the top of the candy mountain upside down.

Max is first of the main characters in that he actually knew of Ash before he met up with him, before [[Serena]]. Max watched the [[Silver Conference]] live and then continually watched the videos he made of it. When he stopped to find out who was making noise in the Gym, he was surprised to see one of the competitors standing in the Gym. However, the two did not get off to a good start as Max continued to put Ash down, assuming that he could have defeated {{jo|Harrison}}. After seeing Ash battle Norman, however, Max became impressed with Ash and soon decided to travel with him and May. Max's admiration of Ash has been seen on numerous occasions, and is second only to the respect he holds for Norman; however some speculate that after Ash won the Balance Badge, Max's respect and admiration for Ash has grown to a level where he admires him more than his own father.

The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Between the Hoenn starters, it appears that he would have chosen {{p|Treecko}} as that is what he told May she should have chosen. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' he speculated that he could receive anything. Not knowing who it will be lead to some of the conflict and resolution with his [[doppelgänger]] in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. At the end of that episode, he stated that {{OBP|Max|AG049}} is lucky as he already knows who the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with will be. Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to show his responsibility, he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{AP|Snorunt}}. When the two parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a Trainer.

[[File:Max DP.png|thumb|220px|Max taking care of [[Norman's Slaking]]]]
However, while Max does not own any Pokémon, he has befriended a variety of different species during his travels: {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, and a {{p|Shuppet}} in the episode ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. He simply played with the Shuppet, after fleeing from the team when he became angered with May. Max has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in an [[Pokémon Orienteering|Orienteering contest]].

Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s, such as the ones with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} and [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]].

==History==
Max first appeared in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' where he was inside the [[Petalburg Gym]] when {{an|May}} returned home with {{Ash}}. When he saw Ash, he claimed that he was the Gym Leader and questions about Ash's time in the [[Silver Conference]]. As the two were fighting, May arrived with her parents and revealed that Norman was the actual Gym Leader instead of Ash. Max watched the match between Norman and Ash until it was interrupted by {{TRT}}. He goes after Team Rocket and falls for their pit traps when he found {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later, he decided to join Ash and May when they were setting off to [[Petalburg Woods]].

In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max goes off to find [[Nicholai]] when he insulted Norman after defeating May. He brought along a pile of berries which attracted the {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s attention. They get angry when Max ran out of berries and Ash, May, {{an|Brock}}, and Nicholai arrive to save Max. When Nicholai led the Zigzagoon away from the group, Max apologized for his actions earlier.

Max takes a liking to {{ho|Katrina}}'s {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''. Seeing that Katrina owned three {{p|Mightyena}}, Max attempts to get Poochyena to evolve. He trains it with Torchic but was unsuccessful due to Torchic attacking both Max and Poochyena. Max then ran off with Poochyena after Ash told him that some Pokémon are happy the way they are. When Poochyena was caught by Team Rocket, Max encourages it to bite through the net to free itself and the other Pokémon as well. Afterwards, Poochyena was able to evolve into Mightyena.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s {{pkmn|Trainer's School}} where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used the strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}}, but this backfired when Magby's repeated attacks began to wear Poliwag down.

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] during the battle with [[Winstrate family|Vivi]], who had a crush on him. Since Corphish was Ash's Pokémon, Corphish recklessly attacked {{p|Marill}} even though Max wanted Corphish to go easy on Marill. This victory caused Vivi to no longer be interested in him.

Max meets a [[Doppelgänger|look-alike]] of his who has the [[Max (AG049)|same name]] in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. Both of them were fighting when the brown-haired one criticized the green-haired Max about how skilled Trainers can only handle {{TP|May|Skitty}} as he thought that the Skitty was his. Max meets up with the brown-haired Max by the lake when a {{p|Surskit}} was dancing around there. May suggested to both Maxes that they should be friends but it resulted in them fighting. When Team Rocket arrived with their goal in catching Surskit for the {{an|Giovanni|boss}}, the green-haired Max and the brown-haired one go off and find Surskit as it ran away. They find it in a new water spring located in the forest. When Team Rocket returned to capture the Surskit, both Maxes work together to take on the trio and Surskit finished them off. After Team Rocket's defeat, both Maxes become friends and the brown-haired Max promised the green-haired one that he will become a Trainer someday.

In ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]'', Max and the gang go to a mansion. He separated from the group after he got into a sibling rivalry with May when they both accused each other of ending up in the mansion. When Max was still upset about May, a {{p|Shuppet}} covered him with red aura and Max noticed it. They played with each other and Shuppet showed Max a secret room containing a playground. Still mad about May, Max had Shuppet play a prank on Ash, May, and Brock by lifting up items in the kitchen when the three were headed there. When Team Rocket was about to get [[May's Torchic]], Max blocked their way until May arrived. Max stood back as May took things from there with her Torchic and was about to get crushed by a falling shelf until Shuppet saved them by lifting the shelf.

Max finds an injured {{p|Ralts}} in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. He took it back to the campsite where {{AP|Snorunt}} successfully cheered it up using [[Ash's hat]] and Max's glasses. Max takes Ralts to a Pokémon Center after Brock pointed out that Ralts was running a fever. While Ash, May, and Brock were battling Team Rocket while the latter was attempting to steal Ralts for their boss, Max made a run for the Pokémon Center with Snorunt tagging along. Along the way, Max dealt with Team Rocket again but they were stopped by {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Gardevoir}}. Max explained to them about Ralts's condition but Kirlia was about to attack him until Ralts protected him with {{m|Safeguard}} despite being in worse condition. Seeing that Ralts was willing to trust Max, Kirlia and Gardevoir teleport away. Max finally arrived in a Pokémon Center and reunited with Ash, May, and Brock. Max was happy to see that Ralts was healed up. However, he was sad to say goodbye to it after it left with Kirlia and Gardevoir.

In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - ]][[AG172|Deoxys' Crisis!]]'', Max goes with the group and [[Solana]] to meteorite cave where they find out about a meteorite relating to {{p|Deoxys}} there. Max was willing to communicate with it and Deoxys takes him and {{MTR}} to another dimension. Deoxys possesses Meowth as it explained to Max that it was scared during the space flight. Deoxys then explained to Max about the meteor landing and outer space, and that it was alone without a friend to hangout with. When Ash and his friends arrived in the cave again, [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Sceptile}}, [[May's Combusken]], and [[Brock's Marshtomp]] signaled their arrival and Max was happy to see them again. When Deoxys battled the group outside the cave, it caused some friction inside the alternate dimension that made Max and Meowth bounce around. However, they were able to get out with the help of May and [[Jessie]]. After the battle, Deoxys possesses Meowth again where it thanked Max for everything and flew off, wanting to explore the planet even more.

At the end of Advanced Generation, May announced that she wished to travel to Johto alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a Trainer. He arrived home in Petalburg City where he took lessons from his father and helped to look after the Gym Pokémon. Max has received just two cameos since his departure, triggered by May's brief return for the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.

Max later reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

==Pokémon==
Due to not being a Trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon. Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped him from befriending or borrowing Pokémon, either wild or belonging to other Trainers. When he battles, he focuses on defensive moves such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of offensive moves.

Max wanted to feed it and make friends with it, so Ash gave Max some Pokémon food to feed it. Shroomish was suspicious and used Stun Spore, causing Ash and Max to quickly back away in surprise.

Ash and Max noted that Shroomish was in the city instead of the forest, where its kind normally would live. Figuring that it might have been separated from its Trainer, they decided that they should take it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Max took out a handkerchief and tied it around the top of Shroomish's head as a gift. The gift made Shroomish very happy. Max picked up Shroomish and they headed off.

After another failed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pika]]-{{TRT}} plan, Shroomish, still in Max's arms, got very distressed and ran off. Ash and Max followed it. Shroomish went into the mansion through a broken window. In the end, Shroomish stayed in the mansion with [[Alex]] who promised to replant the forest.

Shroomish's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}.}}

They decided to bring Jirachi to its home of [[Forina]].
Unfortunately, Butler followed them and got a hold of Jirachi. Using the {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, he unwittingly created a fake {{p|Groudon}} which wrought havoc all over the forests of Forina. Fortunately, Jirachi was saved by Ash and then used its {{m|Doom Desire}} to obliterate the false Groudon.

After the ordeal, Jirachi went back to sleep, and Ash and the others continued their journey.

During this time, Jirachi grew attached to Max, and formed a special bond with him. It is believed that Max was the one who enabled Jirachi to emerge from the Millennium Comet. He was sad to see Jirachi leave, but he knew that they would always remain friends.}}

He eventually reached the Pokémon Center, where Ralts made a full recovery from pneumonia. When {{TRT}} tried to steal Ralts, it blasted them away with a powerful Psychic. Afterwards, Kirlia and Gardevoir arrived to take back Ralts, but it did not want to leave Max and wanted to go with him. Max promised that he would return for it when he is old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. It has not been seen since.

Later, when {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} accidentally stepped on Poliwag's tail, it sparked a fight between Tommy and Max. In battle practice, Max then used Poliwag against Tommy's {{p|Magby}}.

Tommy began with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Max countered with Defense Curl. When Tommy tried again, Max used Belly Drum. With increased attack and defense power, Max chose not to go forward and attack, and on Tommy's next attempt with Flamethrower, it was replied with another Defense Curl - however, repeated hits were taking its toll on Poliwag. Suddenly {{TRT}} attacked, but Max was able to cooperate with Kenny and [[Anita]] to send them blasting off.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr RS School Kid M.png|thumb|A Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald School Kid]]
* His appearance is based upon the {{tc|School Kid}} Trainer class.
* Although Max took {{an|Misty}}'s role of pinching {{an|Brock}}'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he didn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi!]]''. However, he did drag Brock by the pants once in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''.
* Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} besides Ash to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
* In the Ruby and Sapphire versions, an overworld character walking around {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s house looks much like Max. In Emerald, he was changed to a generic kid sprite.
** In Emerald, Brendan/May is given a little brother, but there is little other resemblance to Max.
* Max befriending a {{p|Ralts}} mirrors {{ga|Wally}}'s first Pokémon.
** This may also be due to two School Kids using a Ralts in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

'''J''' (Japanese: '''Ｊ''' ''J''), frequently referred to as '''Pokémon Hunter J''', or '''Jay''' in some dubs, is a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] who, with the help from [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]], captures and steals {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sells them requested by [[J's clients|her clients]] for a profit on the {{wp|black market}}. She first appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]''.

==History==
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', she first stole [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}. Thinking {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} would be worth a sizable amount of money, she stole them, too, thus forcing Ash to join forces with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to rescue them. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into J's airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all the others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful Trainers. Though several of her henchmen have been captured by [[Officer Jenny]], J remained at large. Jessie, James and Meowth especially seem to harbor a grudge against her ever since she kidnapped Meowth.

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

She appeared again during the two-part episode ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]]'' ''[[DP072|and Two]]'' where she tried to steal a {{m|Aura Sphere|special}} {{p|Riolu}} for her client. She successfully captured it and left after receiving her payment, but the Riolu was later rescued from the client, who was arrested.

She also appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' where she traveled to the [[Snowpoint Temple]] and forcefully awakened {{p|Regigigas}} at the request of a client. Despite this, she was unable to capture it, due mostly to the efforts of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} and [[Brandon's Regis|his Pokémon]], and she immediately withdrew from the area when her client decided to cancel the deal.

[[File:J glasses sinking.png|200px|right|thumb|J's glasses shown outside the sinking ship]]
J appeared again in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where she was hired by [[Team Galactic]] to catch {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. She also appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', attempting to carry out the task of capturing them. Although she did succeed in capturing the [[Lake guardians]], her ship was hit by two {{m|Future Sight}} attacks used by Uxie and Mesprit directly before she captured them, which in her overconfidence she had forgotten. As a result, her ship crashed into [[Lake Valor]] and was sucked into a whirlpool while she and her crew members were on board. Once the ship was underwater, the protective glass broke and the ship was flooded with water, causing it to explode. It is currently unknown if J, her Pokémon, or any of her crew survived.


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

==Character==
J is a person who is willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients even if it means injuring people or Pokémon, easily revealing her to be ruthless, relentless, and cruel. In fact, in her debut episode, she sacrificed some of her [[J's henchmen|henchmen]] to [[Officer Jenny]] without hesitation or remorse, emphasizing her intensely independent, sociopathic, greedy and callous nature. She has no honor, decency or regard for any form of life. The only thing that matters to her is money. She is one of the very few characters (including the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] and [[Grings Kodai]]) in the anime who is purely evil. However, she tends to underestimate her opponents when on the verge of victory, which often leads to her defeat and seemingly her final downfall.

==Pokémon==

Ash fought J's Drapion with his Aipom and Turtwig, but both Pokémon never stood a chance. Drapion didn't take damage from either Aipom or Turtwig's attacks, and struck the Pokémon with its {{m|Cross Poison}}. In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'', J used her Drapion again in order to harm Ash without warning. It wrapped its claws tightly around Ash's midsection and began to squeeze him. Ash responded to this by kicking it in the face, making it one of the only Pokémon Ash ever intentionally hurt.

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Unlike most villains in the anime, it seems as though J is actually trying to ''murder'' Ash, not just get rid of him. This is shown in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'', when she commands her Salamence to burn the forest around him and use {{m|Hyper Beam}} directly on him, orders her Drapion to squeeze him tight with its claws, and ejects him from her ship from a great height.
* J is the only recurring villain in the anime to not be a member of a villainous team although she has worked with Team Galactic.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon video games==
Most Pokémon video games released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Russia}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well.

==Pokémon anime==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in the United States on September 7, 1998, helping to launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[Pokémon USA]].

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, [[M01|only]] [[M02|the]] [[M03|first]] [[M04|five]] [[M05|movies]] and the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]] have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television (usually on Cartoon Network) and released straight to video or DVD.

===Kids' WB!===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|right|Kids' WB! logo used from 1997-2001]]
Kids' WB! (Warner Brothers' Studios) is a former programming block that was broadcast on {{wp|The WB Television Network}} and later, as a result of a merge between WB and {{wp|UPN}}, on {{wp|The CW Television Network}}. The initial run of the block was from 1995-2008, and it aired (at various stages) both before and after school, and also on Saturday mornings. Kids' WB, in its original form, shut down on May 17, 2008. Prior to its closure, it was relaunched as an online {{wp|video on demand}} service.

Kids' WB aired episodes from the original [[4Kids Entertainment]] dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1999 until 2006. The first episode aired was ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', on February 13. The network aired the remainder of the first season, and every other non-banned episode through [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle|season eight]]. Warner Bros. also used the Kids' WB! name in their promotions of the first three [[Pokémon movie]]s.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB! was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the 10th anniversary Pokémon special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, even before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), as well as being the only time Kids' WB! aired the new dub by Pokémon USA. Along with the special, a promotional sweepstakes was run by Kids' WB! to win tenth anniversary related merchandise.

In 2006, before any more Pokémon USA episodes could be aired, the network announced that all non-{{wp|Warner Brothers}} shows would be dropped from the lineup. This meant that ''Pokémon'', among other shows, would no longer be aired on Kids' WB!. The series would eventually move to Cartoon Network, which is owned by TimeWarner via its' {{wp|Turner Broadcasting}} division, managed by {{wp|Ted Turner}}, on September 8th.

On October 2, 2007, it was announced that the Kids' WB block would end in September the following year. Management stated that this was because of the effects of children's advertising limits and competition from cable TV channels. In an ironic twist, the block was sold to 4Kids, who had also bought the old {{wp|Fox Kids}} block, renaming it the "Fox Box" and then "{{wp|4Kids TV}}". {{wp|Fox Broadcasting Company}} ended their relationship with 4Kids in December 2008, and as of 2010, used the old slot to allow affiliates to use for news or {{wp|E/I}} programming, save for two hours called "Fox Marketplace", in essence a block of {{wp|Infomercials}}.

The last time Kids' WB! aired was, contrary to earlier reports, May 17, 2008. After this date, the block was renamed as {{wp|The CW4Kids}}. Kids' WB! was revamped into an online video on demand service, which was launched on April 28, 2008. ''Pokémon'' is not included on the list of available titles; however, episodes are available on demand via the USA [[Pokémon.com]] web portal.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|right|Cartoon Network's logo since May 29, 2010]]
Cartoon Network is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}} that carries the [[Pokémon anime]] meta series. The channel was launched on October 1, 1992 after Turner purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions}} in 1991. They started with ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' on September 8th, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling Kids' WB! dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house, which has since been taken over by [[4Kids Entertainment]], the former producer of the anime series.

Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as ''[[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]]''. As of April 2010, almost every season has aired on Cartoon Network. They have also aired all ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'' episodes during the summer of 2006. Currently, the series does not air on the network.

New dubbed episodes of ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' can be seen on Saturday mornings at 8:30 AM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (7:00 AM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}). As of March 2011, it repeated ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]''. They both aired weekdays at 8:00 AM ET/PT. On February 18, 2012, Cartoon Network started airing ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]''. Currently, their sibling network Boomerang airs the original series.
{{bulbanews|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut}}
Cartoon Network tends to marginalize end credits-- replacing the original ending with their own generic credits while running a promo. This is not a very big loss for anime episodes, which have rather unremarkable ending sequences in the dub, unless the credits break away from the current format, such as in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]''. However, by extension, this means that the credits of Pokémon movies aired on the channel, which contain an epilogue, are missed, to the chagrin of viewers. Occasionally, the credits are simply sped up. Also, when the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] first aired on the channel, several scenes were omitted, which [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] did not appreciate.

====Toonami====
[[File:Toonami2007logo.jpg|thumb|right|Toonami's logo from 2007-2008]]
Toonami is an extension of Cartoon Network. It formerly aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and, after Kids' WB! stopped airing new episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]].

From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB!'s weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB'', making this period the first instance of Pokémon on Toonami.

The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008. Although the Toonami block itself ended, the block's streaming-video service Toonami Jetstream, which showed episodes from various arcs of Pokémon anime, continued operations until January 30, 2009. After nearly four years of being off the year in the US, Toonami later returned on the air on May 26, 2012, but now on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late-night programming block. This was done by popular demand after an April Fools stunt.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|right|Toonami Jetstream's logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day. The service launched on July 17, 2006. The service remained online even after its parent programming block, Toonami, ended on September 20, 2008. On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows. Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. Cartoon Network Video, Toonami Jetstream's former sister service, became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service at the time Jetstream shut down. The Pokémon anime did not initially migrate over to Cartoon Network Video, but would do so a few months after Jetstream's shutdown.
{{bulbanews|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors}}
The third season of the [[Pokémon anime]] debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|Johto Journeys]] banner. The first episode offered on the service was ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', debuted on Jetstream on October 1, 2007.

[[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Toonami Jetstream on October 9, 2006. The first episode of the side series offered on the service was part 1 of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. The final episode, Pikachu's Winter Vacation: ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]''/''[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'', debuted on the service on March 5, 2007.

The fourth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on May 29, 2007 under the [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|Johto League Champions]] banner. ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', debuted on Jetstream on May 27, 2008.

The first season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on January 14, 2008 under the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Pokémon]] banner as part of a special offering involving {{g|Snap}}. ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. This classification never saw a regular progression.

The fifth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on June 16, 2008 under the [[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]] banner. ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]'', debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009. This classification was the only one featured in the Top 10 format prior to the service's shutdown.

The ninth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on November 17, 2008 under the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]] banner. ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'', debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday is a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows on Toonami Jetstream, new Pokémon episodes in currently-running seasons debuted every week and remained available on Toonami Jetstream for six weeks after they debuted on the service.

Toonami Jetstream also offered short previews of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on the Virtual Console, [[Pokémon.com]] have announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] will be offered for one week later in December. That method was scrapped in favor of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal Johto League Champions progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 2008, January 22, 2008, and January 28, 2008.

The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes are the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appears to go with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap his surname when {{g|Snap}} was announced for the Virtual Console.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|right|Cartoon Network Video's former logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network to provide animated programs 24 hours a day. The service launched on September 22, 2006. Originally a sister service to {{wp|Toonami Jetstream}}, which had long offered the Pokémon anime, Cartoon Network Video became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service after Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted on the service on May 15, 2009.

The first classification used for the Pokémon anime on Cartoon Network Video is [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|DP: Galactic Battles]], not appearing to follow any specific season unlike when the Pokémon anime ran on Toonami Jetstream. The first episode offered on the service was ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' The final episode uploaded with the banner displaying Galactic Battles was ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', uploaded on May 17, 2010.

On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons including the entirety of season two, listed under the names of the first two arcs [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Indigo League]] and [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Adventures in the Orange Islands]], were made available on the service, arranged as subclassifications under the show's banner (which still lists Galactic Battles). Unlike Galactic Battles, the episodes from the first two episodes are divided by season, but under the name of one of the arcs, meaning season two episodes from the Indigo League arc are classified under the Adventures in the Orange Islands classification. This is similar to how the last 11 episodes of the second arc, which are also the first 11 episodes of the third season, were available on Toonami Jetstream under the [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|third arc's name]].

On February 1, 2010, a fourth subclassification under the show's banner was added to house season three, listed under the name "[[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|The Johto Journeys]]"; only one episode was made available that day, ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. However, this addition may have been in error, as both the classification and the episode were removed a few days later. The classification was later re-added two months later with the entire third season included; however, the episodes in the classification were not working for many users, and the classification was once again taken down the following month.

On June 5, 2010, the banner depiction for Pokémon on Cartoon Network Video was switched to the new classification of [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|DP: Sinnoh League Victors]], carrying over all content that had been classified under the previous arc's name.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). The newest episodes were currently made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remain on the service for two weeks. More recently, however, episodes have been uploaded later than previously and remain available for only one week.

After a site revamp in October 2009, Cartoon Network Video uses a dedicated 16:9 widescreen video player. A lot of content originally produced in 16:9 widescreen, including all Pokémon episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', are shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio an episode showed in on Cartoon Network's standard-definition television feed; however, content originally produced in 4:3 fullscreen, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, are stretched to fill the 16:9 frame in a process similar to {{wp|Stretch-o-Vision}}.

The Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in are the ones used on Cartoon Network Video; the same was true when shown on Toonami Jetstream. Additionally, any episode that involves the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way, shape, or form uses the theme presented from televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} is first used with ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' on Cartoon Network Video with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

===Boomerang===
[[File:Boomerang logo.png|thumb|right|Boomerang's current logo]]
Boomerang is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang is well-known for airing many cartoons that came from the 20th century such as {{wp|The Flintstones}}, {{wp|The Jetsons}}, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, as well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast by Boomerang|Wikipedia}}. Boomerang was made shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block on the network, and was not spun off into a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of the popular Pokémon series when it first aired the {{series|original}} in 2006, and after that in March of 2010. Currently, as of October 2012, the channel airs episodes from [[EP001]] to [[DP191]]. Episodes are currently airing at 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} on weekdays.

Boomerang airs [[EP038|''Holiday Hi-Jynx'']], an anime episode that had been [[banned episodes|banned]].

===Toon Disney===
[[File:Toon Disney logo.png|thumb|right|Toon Disney's logo from 2005-2009]]
Toon Disney was an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, {{wp|Disney Channel}}). It was owned by {{wp|The Walt Disney Company}}, who also owns the [[Miramax Films]] film studio. Its programming was aimed at 2-11 year olds.

Toon Disney had shown the ''Pokémon'' motion pictures distributed in the United States by sister company [[Miramax Films]]: ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. On February 13th, 2009, Toon Disney was succeeded by Disney XD, a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14.

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translasted several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. As of January 2013, merchandise will be handled by [[Tomy]], which will import Japanese merchandise once again.

==Events==
{{bulbanews|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

'''The Problem with Paras''' (Japanese: '''パラスとパラセクト''' ''Paras and Parasect'') is the 44th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 14, 1998, and in the United States on February 13, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Mossgreen Village]], a village so small it doesn't have its own [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]]. Because of this, Ash feels that there's no reason to stop there. However, {{an|Brock}} reveals that their bag of [[Potion]]s and [[Antidote]]s is empty, so they should stock up on supplies in town. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, hot on their trail, is about to make their move on {{AP|Pikachu}}. Before they get far, however, they discover {{MTR}} has fallen ill. Deciding that the loss of Meowth is worth the capture of Pikachu, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] begin to leave him behind; they are immediately scolded by a girl, who lashes out at them for abandoning their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (believing that Jessie and James were Meowth's {{pkmn|Trainer}}s). She then nurses Meowth back to health and, during this process, Meowth has fallen for the girl.

In town, the group arrives at an herbal shop to purchase their medicine. Entering, they find an [[Cassandra's grandmother|old woman]] grinding herbs. When they request to buy some Potions and Antidotes, she offers them snake root that will cure insomnia and grow hair on their nose and tongue. The old woman is then scolded by the same girl who helped Meowth, her granddaughter, named [[Cassandra]]. {{an|Brock}} immediately falls for her, trying to make small talk about how he intends to be the best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}, but Cassandra parlays the conversation into a [[Pokémon battle]], which Ash accepts. At the battle, Cassandra sends out her {{p|Paras}}, while Pikachu leads off for Ash. However, before the battle, Pikachu tries to make friendly talk (in a show of sportsmanship), but it causes Paras to cower in fear. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on the battle, intent on stealing Pikachu; Meowth is distracted by Cassandra, as he intends to repay her for healing him.

Meanwhile, Cassandra admits her ulterior motive in battling: she wants to make this Paras [[Evolution|evolve]] so that she could use {{p|Parasect}}'s mushroom to help develop a miracle Pokémon medicine. Paras is acting cowardly, fearful of battling. Agreeing to "throw the battle" by going easy on Paras, the battle gets off to a rocky start when Pikachu fires a small "static bolt" at Paras, which unfortunately knocks it out. While Cassandra tries to get Paras back into shape, {{an|Misty}} suggests Ash try a different Pokémon. As Paras is both a {{type|Bug}} and a {{type|Grass}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Squirtle}}, for which Paras would be at an advantage. However, that does not go too well either, as Squirtle's weakened {{m|Water Gun}}, meant to just "sprinkle Paras' mushrooms a little", also manages to knock it out. Desperate to help Paras evolve, Ash sends out {{AP|Charmeleon}}, despite the massive advantage it has, telling it to go easy on Paras. Charmeleon refuses to obey, gets too violent, and instead of doing an easy, soft attack, it launched a full-power {{m|Flamethrower}} at Paras before sending it flying by smacking it with its tail. This causes Paras to run away. When Ash tries to rein in Charmeleon, he too, is blasted in the face. Pikachu decides to hit Charmeleon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, enabling Ash to recall it. Ash can't believe Charmeleon is acting this way, as he was so excited when Charmander evolved, but apparently Ash wasn't ready for it. Misty tells Ash to deal with the problem with Charmeleon later and that they need to find Paras.

As Paras is running away, it bumps into Meowth, wanting to help Cassandra, tries to get Jessie and James to help Paras. However, they want to know what's in it for them. Meowth then explains that if Paras evolves, Cassandra will be able to make her miracle Potion which would be worth millions. Meowth then explains that once they help Cassandra, she'll make Meowth their company mascot. Jessie and James don't see where this would benefit them, but then Meowth explains that he would make them his business managers as he'll probably have a lot of money to manage. Fueled by greed, Jessie and James agree, asking Meowth how they'll make their millions. Meowth then explains that he needs {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} as "losing battles is their specialty". First, Arbok goes off against Paras, but before Arbok can go full-power on it, Meowth intercepts the attack, knocking Arbok down. Paras, believing it had defeated Arbok, is cheered by Jessie and James as if it had scored the [[Fainting|knockout]]. This repeats itself with Weezing and with Meowth, causing Paras to get fired up.

Cassandra, with Ash and company in tow, manage to find Paras up a tree, and because of its visibly different mood, determine that it's raring to go. While Team Rocket is watching from a nearby bush (in the hopes that Ash would help them on their objective), Ash sends out Pikachu to battle again. Paras goads Pikachu closer and manages to prod it in the tail. As Pikachu prepares to retaliate from the cheap shot, it is reminded by Ash to throw the fight, so instead Pikachu falls over, feigning unconsciousness. Ash then sends out Charmeleon for another chance, but once again Charmeleon starts to disobey. Ash can't understand this as it was always obedient before evolving. Cassandra's grandmother then explains that if the Pokémon's strength is greater than the Trainer's skill level, it won't respect him and take orders. Cassandra asks that Ash call back Charmeleon, but it breathes fire on him again before turning towards Paras, who finds itself cowering in fear again. Team Rocket then comes out of hiding and cheers Paras on to win, only to be burned by Charmeleon. Charmeleon advances on Paras and is about to finish it off when Paras, in desperation, closes its eyes and throws out its pincer, which strikes Charmeleon in the stomach, causing it to collapse. Paras is surprised that it won. Soon after, Paras begins to evolve into Parasect. Everyone hails Parasect's success, including Team Rocket who feel they're about to board the "gravy train". Charmeleon, however, recovers and angrily sends Team Rocket flying by smacking them with its tail. It then turns back to Parasect for revenge. Cassandra attempts to protect it, but Parasect stops Charmeleon with its {{m|Spore}} attack, putting it to sleep and allowing Ash to recall it.

As Ash and his friends leave, they are thanked by Cassandra for their help. Ash is also reminded by Cassandra's grandmother that he'll never get control of Charmeleon if he doesn't improve his skill level. After the group leaves, Team Rocket drops in, and Meowth is nursed back to health once again. Cassandra is reluctant to let Meowth become the company mascot, not wanting to separate Meowth from the "heroic" Team Rocket. Meowth does not win the spot anyways, thanks to Cassandra's grandmother having found a {{p|Persian}} for the company mascot instead. As Team Rocket sulks off, their potential riches lost, Cassandra promises to treat the Persian like it was Meowth.

==Trivia==
* This is the first episode to air on [[Kids' WB!]]
* Although {{an|Misty}} is afraid of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, she isn't scared of {{p|Paras}}.
* The English title for this episode might be a reference to the phrase ''The problem with people''.
* This is the second time Meowth is rejected in favor of a Persian.
* The book ''[[Charizard, Go!]]'' is based on this episode.
* The events contained within this episode confound the logistics of Pokémon battles, implying that experience points are rewarded based upon whether one is ''declared a winner,'' not upon whether one's actions throughout a battle cause them to become stronger. In this respect, it would appear that experience points are not an abstraction for the purpose of game mechanics, but an actual, concrete effect in the Pokémon universe. However, experience points are rarely brought up afterwards.
* This is the first time Ash attempts to lose a battle. This doesn't happen again until ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'' with the similarly typed {{p|Burmy}}. Oddly enough, Iris thinks he couldn't do just that in [[BW009|The Bloom is On Axew!]]'
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

===Errors===
* Ash says Electric Shock instead of {{m|ThunderShock}}. This is most likely a translation error, as ThunderShock's Japanese name means "Electric Shock".
* As Ash recalls Charmeleon, the colors of the {{ball|Poké}} swap over between frames.
*Just after Squirtle uses Water Gun on Paras, Cassandra's shoes are pink.

===Dub edits===
* At the end of the [[Kanto Pokérap]] at the end of this episode, the [[Kids' WB!]] announcer dubbed over the voice that normally tells the viewer to watch for more of the Pokérap with, "Tune in next week and watch Ash, Misty, and Brock on their quest to become Pokémon masters! Don't miss them, the new ones are now only on Kids' WB!" When this episode was rerun on [[Cartoon Network]] and Boomerang, and even when uploaded onto [[Cartoon Network Video]], the Kids' WB! announcer's voice remained.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are seen stopping beside a river to have lunch as they make their way to [[Nacrene City]]. As there will be a full moon later that night, Iris had picked berries in advance so that she could see the moon later. Meanwhile, Cilan is already cooking vegetable rice for the group, and prevents Ash from eating the berries. He then gives a bowl of Pokémon food to both {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. As Cilan makes final preparations for his meals, a {{p|Darumaka}} walks past and greets them.

Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] on Darumaka. Iris, adored by Darumaka's cuteness, walks up to it and starts playing with its eyebrows. Darumaka, however, is having none of it, and Iris is blasted with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Cilan then comments on how strong-willed Darumaka is, and how it is said to bring good luck. Unknown to the group, an orange paw reaches out and grabs a bowl of Pokémon food that Cilan had prepared earlier. As Pikachu turns around and realizes its bowl had disappeared, it thinks that Axew had eaten it and alerts Ash. However, Axew, backed by Iris, denies taking the food. As they were quarreling, the group suddenly realizes that Darumaka is fast asleep.

Curious as to confirm what the Pokédex says about Darumaka not falling when it is sleeping, Iris pokes Darumaka sideways. True enough, Darumaka tethers back and forth on its bottom. While the group is now mesmerized by Darumaka's ability, the orange paw then grabs the other bowl of Pokémon food. Pikachu turns in time to see another Darumaka running away with its food. Axew turns around thereafter, and thinking that Pikachu ate both of the Pokémon food, starts fighting with it. Ash and Iris manage to separate both Pikachu and Axew, and Pikachu explains that Darumaka took the Pokémon food. However, Cilan points out that Darumaka had been sleeping throughout their conflict, and could not have taken any of their food.

Suddenly, another Darumaka appears, holding both bowls of Pokémon food and Iris' berries. The group then finally realize that there are two Darumaka, and starts pursuing the Darumaka with the food. The sleeping Darumaka awakes instantly, uses Flamethrower between the group and its partner, before running away with its companion. Ash sends out {{AP|Oshawott}}, and commands it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. With a leap off the wall, the pair of Darumaka dodges the water attack, and executes two well coordinated Flamethrowers at Oshawott. Unable to dodge the attack, Oshawott took damage and fainted. The two Darumaka escape.

Ash brings Oshawott to a [[Pokémon Center]], where it is attended to by [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}. Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] are dining at a café in a town near a river. With a snap of her finger, Jessie calls for the waiter and orders a cappuccino, "and make it rocket fast". The waiter, apparently caught on to the word 'rocket', subsequently serves her 'the' cup of cappuccino, its cream taking on the shape of a bridge. With very clear intentions of what to do next, the cream is then stirred into the coffee.

The sky glows a reddish-orange as sunset approaches. Oshawott is fully healed and Ash recalls it into its [[Poké Ball]]. Iris passes a comment on the two Darumaka, and Nurse Joy subsequently reveals that together with a {{p|Darmanitan}}, the two Darumaka actually lived in harmony with the residents of the town they were in. However, the three Pokémon were not seen together anymore, and the two Darumaka suddenly started stealing food for no apparent reason. Seeming to have sidetracked from the Darumaka, Iris notices a [[clock tower]] in the middle of the city. Nurse Joy then explains to them that the bell of the tower had stopped ringing, and the tower would soon be demolished. Iris expressed regret when Ash's stomach started growling. Aware that they have not eaten after the Darumaka had stolen their food, the group stays at the Pokémon Center for dinner.

As there was a full moon on that night, Nurse Joy tells everyone that she will be preparing dumplings for them. Delighted, Ash and the group offer to help with the preparations. However, upon reaching the kitchen, the group were then greeted again by the two Darumaka, who were ready to escape with their dumplings. With much speed and agility, the two Zen Charm Pokémon jumped out of the window. Ash sends out {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} hoping to catch them, and at the same time to find out the reason behind the thefts. The two Darumaka continued jumping wildly and away from the group, and into an alley. They then jumped in opposite directions and split up at a T-junction.

Ash and Iris follows the Darumaka with the dumplings, while Cilan follows the other. Despite so, the two Darumaka eventually manages to evade the group, leaving them clueless as to where they had run off to. When they regathered, Pidove gestured to the two Darumaka who were then sneaking into the clock tower. The group followed.

Deep into the night, the Team Rocket trio is seen standing on top of a bridge. A figure materializes from deep within the fog, cloaked as they were, carrying a briefcase. As the figure approaches them and close to Jessie, they break into small talk. Facing away from each other, Jessie briefly mentions keeping warm with 'a cup of cappuccino', a phrase that was used to establish a trust with the stranger. The stranger slowly puts down the briefcase and then instructs the trio to receive instructions when they arrive at Nacrene City. As she proceeds to take her leave, the chill wind picks up, together with Team Rocket's will and determination to succeed in their next mission.

Ash and the group chases after the two Darumaka up the staircase of the clock tower. On realizing that Ash is following closely behind, the two Darumaka panic and speed up. When the group reaches the top, they find the partially moonlit room empty, until the two Darumaka are seen pressed against the top of the wall in a shadowy corner of the room. Without Ash knowing, the two quickly jumps off the wall and aims two coordinated Flamethrowers at him, to which he dodges just in time. However, in the heat of the action, the ladder at the back of the room caught fire, setting the room ablaze with reddish-orange sparks.

Ash sends out Oshawott, and the Sea Otter Pokémon aims its Water Gun at the burning ladder. As the flames started to extinguish, the ladder collapses, and the two Darumaka jump up, once again aiming their Flamethrowers at Ash. Immediately, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and in a clash of fire and electricity, an explosion follows. Ash then commands Oshawott to attack the two Darumaka with Water Gun, an attack which hit and sent both Darumaka flying into the air. However, the pair countered by {{m|Rest|Resting}} while they were being hit, and they landed softly, tethering about their bottoms like an egg, upright on its broader end.

As Ash and the group inch closer to inspect, the two Darumaka suddenly wake up and jump across to them. When Ash and Iris tells them they did not want to battle them, the two stare at each other blankly. Cilan adds that they were only trying to find out why the two of them were stealing food. The two Darumaka then decide to trust the group, and waddle across to underneath the hole which the ladder one stood. As they point to the top of the hole, Ash understands that they both want to get to the top, and decides to help them. With Cilan's assistance, Ash manages to climb to the top of the hole and sends out {{AP|Snivy}}. Grabbing Pikachu first, then the two Darumaka, Snivy was able to bring Ash and his companions safely to the top.

Before the group could proceed, Iris notices that there is a significant amount of heat generated from the floor above. The group then ascends a ladder to find a Darmanitan under a large bell, its {{a|Zen Mode}} having being activated. Ash checks his Pokédex. Cilan explains that during Zen Mode, Darmanitan's Special Attack increases significantly, giving rise to its {{t|Psychic}} abilities. Its physical attacks, however, are compromised.

Iris complains about the heat generated by the Darmanitan. Meanwhile, the two Darumaka unwrap the bag with the dumplings, allowing Darmanitan to guide the dumplings to its mouth using {{m|Psychic}}. Ash then realize that the Darumaka are stealing food to feed the immobile Darmanitan, while Cilan notices that as long as Darmanitan is in Zen Mode and is using its Psychic abilities, it will generate a lot of heat. Iris questions why Darmanitan does not change back into its Standard Mode despite having being fed dumplings, and the two Darumaka returns with the answer - a thick metal rod in the shape of a question mark. Cilan suspects the rod to be used as a hook, and the group soon realizes that the bell Darmanitan is sitting under is actually floating!

Cilan extrapolates that Darmanitan actually prevented the heavy bell from dropping to the bottom of the clock tower when the hook had broken. Incapable of motion, Darmanitan had activated its Zen Mode, in which it used Psychic to levitate the bell. However, that also meant that it was not able to eat, causing the two Darumaka to steal food to feed their immobile companion. Iris then applauded their efforts, causing the two Darumaka to smile.

Suddenly, Darmanitan starts intensively glowing red, prompting Ash and his friends to take action, as it would burn right through the floor. Throwing a Poké Ball each, Ash and Cilan send out {{AP|Tepig}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} respectively. When the hook was thrown into the air, Tepig sprayed it with {{m|Ember}}, but nothing significant happened. Immediately, Darmanitan started emitting fire. The two Darumaka then offered to help out. Once again, Pansage threw the hook into the air, and Tepig used Ember. This time, however, combined with the Flamethrowers of the two Darumaka, the iron hook glowed red-hot. Pansage, under Cilan's orders, used {{m|Bullet Seed}} and shaped the hook into the shape of an 'S'. Ash promptly sends out Oshawott. With Water Gun, Oshawott cooled the hook, and it dropped onto the floor. Pikachu inspects the hook and picks it up, satisfied.

Ash and his friends then question on how to get the hook to the top of the bell. In response, Darmanitan uses Psychic on Ash, Pikachu and the hook, causing them to levitate to the top of the bell. Ash grabs the hook from Pikachu, and hangs it at the top of the bar. He then reaches out and attempts to grab the bell handle, while Iris and Cilan cheer him on. Just before Ash grabs the handle, Darmanitan deactivates its Zen Mode, and Ash, Pikachu and the bell fall... right into the hands of Darmanitan. With a great upward thrust, the bell now in mid-air, Darmanitan performs a series of leaps to the top of the bar, and grabs the bell before it could drop any further. Iris and Cilan gasp in awe, apparently surprised at what had happened. Ash, followed by Pikachu, jumps off the bell and subsequently thanks Darmanitan. Darmanitan winks, and then places the bell back into the hook.

With a triumphant leap off the bar, Darmanitan is rejoined by the two Darumaka. They approach the group, grateful for what they have done for them. Ash advises the two Darumaka not to steal any more food, and they reply with a sheepish grin.

Ash and the group are now headed to Nacrene City. As they walk towards onto a bridge, Nurse Joy stops them and informs them that the clock tower will not be demolished, only repaired. To their delight, Nurse Joy also informs them that the Darmanitan and the two Darumaka have made the clock tower their home. Cilan then expressed happiness at the thought of Pokémon and people living in harmony. The group then spots Darmanitan and the two Darumaka standing at the top of the clock tower, smiling and waving at them. The group bids the three Pokémon a final goodbye, before setting off for the [[Nacrene Gym|Gym]] in Nacrene City.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

Continuing on their journey to [[Olivine City]], Pikachu looks a bit worn out. Brock suggests it’s the trudging along this trail that has taken a toll. Just then, an old man appears from beside the path and explains the soil in this region contains minerals that absorb electricity. He walks up to {{AP|Pikachu}}, kneels down and starts speaking to Pikachu in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} language.

Upon Pikachu’s response, he rises and tells Ash that Pikachu is exhausted and cannot walk much further. Introducing himself as [[Simon]], he suggests the crew follow him to his rest-stop. Upon their arrival, Ash hooks up Pikachu to a nearby bicycle with the electrodes attached to it. The more Ash pedals, the more electricity is pumped back into Pikachu’s cheeks. Simon explains to Misty and Brock he won’t charge for the “recharge” and he’ll waive his translation fee. Surprised he charges at all for his rest-stop remedies, Misty and Brock are cut short of saying anything by the arrival of [[Officer Jenny]].

There, to arrest Simon, she explains several local Trainers have been swindled out of money recently by a person claiming to be a Pokémon interpreter. Then {{MTR}} pops up. [[Officer Jenny]] then recognizes {{TRT}} but mistakes them for [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Suddenly a smoke bomb explodes, allowing Team Rocket to escape. Ash then notices that Pikachu inhaled a lot of smoke and goes to the [[Pokémon Center]] with Officer Jenny and his friends. Team Rocket then notice some men that kidnapped Simon. They decide to follow them. At the Pokémon Center Pikachu is fully recharged and Nurse Joy tells Ash Pikachu will be fine in the morning. Ash then talks to {{an|Professor Oak}} with the Pokémon Monitor. Professor Oak tells Ash that there's been no real life cases of Pokémon interpreter but only in fairy tales. Ash then thanks Professor Oak and hangs up. Afterwards, Ash and his friends, with unexpected help from Team Rocket, rescue Simon from his kidnappers, who are [[phony Pokémon interpreters]] who wish to eliminate the competition.

'''N''' (Japanese: '''Ｎ（エヌ）''' ''N'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==History==
[[File:Young N anime.png|thumb|250px|left|N as a child]]
N first appeared briefly in the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]''. He was formally introduced in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', where he investigated the ruins of the [[P2 Laboratory]] and discovered data related to {{p|Genesect}}. Later, he met with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} when they were leaving their ship. While Ash and the others were {{pkmn|training}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were attacked by [[Jessie's Frillish]]'s {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but N saved them. He immediately befriended Pikachu, showing his special ability with the Pokémon.
He claimed not to have met {{p|Reshiram}}, although he was shown meeting it as a child in a flashback. He was surprised when he heard that Ash had seen {{p|Zekrom}}, but was visibly disturbed when Ash said that his goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. After that, N helped save Ash's Pikachu and [[Iris's Axew]] when {{TRT}} tried to steal them. When they parted ways, N told Ash that although the worlds they seek are different, he does not hate him.

N appeared again in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', where he was rescuing a {{p|Braviary}} from two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, [[Schwarz and Weiss]]. This act attracted the duo's attention and chased him down, but were unsuccessful as N managed to get away. With the help of Ash and his friends, he takes the Braviary to the [[Pokémon Center]]. When Schwarz and Weiss found him, he fought off the {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} owned by the duo and with the help of Ash and his friends, N managed to free Braviary safely. Afterwards, he joined Ash and his friends on their journey to the White Ruins.

In ''[[BW115|The Pokémon Harbor Patrol!]]'' he, along with Ash and the others, met up with [[Halsey]] and his team. He helped Halsey's {{p|Watchog}} to master its moves and rescue abilities.

In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' N attended to the [[Kanto]] Fair. Upon [[Ash's Charizard]] return, he watched the battle between Charizard and [[Iris's Dragonite|Dragonite]], which he later called off.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'' he, along with Ash and the others, fought against [[Colress]] and [[Aldith]].
He was trying to rescue a {{p|Haxorus}} from their control, but ended up injuring himself. Then he was taken to a spring by [[Anthea and Concordia]], where the psychic power of their Pokémon was able to heal him.

Later in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'', he again met with some Team Plasma grunts. After arriving at his and his sister's secret refuge, he told Ash and his friends that he used to be a Team Plasma member. He talked about the [[Seven Sages]], Ghetsis and his special relation with some wild Pokémon when he was a child. He also spoke about meeting Reshiram. At the end of the episode, he departed from the group with Anthea and Concordia.

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', N examined another of Team Plasma's laboratories and realized that it had been destroyed by the [[Genesect Army]].

N encountered the group again at the [[White Ruins]] in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''. He stole the [[Light Stone]] from [[Cedric Juniper]] in order to prevent Reshiram from being awakened. While being pursued by Ash, they both fell into a lower chamber within the ruins, where they conversed at length about their differing views on the world. However, up above, Team Plasma arrived and began creating chaos at the ruins by attacking Iris, Cilan, Cedric and the archeologists present. In [[BW121]], N realized that he could no longer hear the voices of the Pokémon up above (due to Colress's machine) and with the help of Ash's Charizard, he and Ash escaped. They fell right into Team Plasma's trap, however, and N was forced to surrender the Light Stone to them in exchange for Colress freeing Pikachu from his control. N was imprisoned along with the others and forced to watch as Ghetsis arrived and initiated the Ceremony of Awakening to summon Reshiram. The conflict climaxed in [[BW122]], where Ghetsis took control of Reshiram and set it upon all present. With Pikachu again under Colress's control as well as Anthea and Concordia's {{p|Gothitelle}} and {{p|Gardevoir}}, all seemed lost, but Pikachu was able to fight against the machine's influence and destroy it, freeing Reshiram. N successfully appealed to Reshiram's heart, convincing it that not all humans were evil, and it departed peacefully instead of going on a rampage as he had earlier feared. Later, with Ghetsis, Colress and the members of Team Plasma placed under arrest, he thanked Ash for his help and happily departed with Anthea and Concordia.

==Character==
N has the ability to understand the unique voices of Pokémon, and he regards their language as superior to human language; this led him to become confused when he first met {{MTR}}. Using this power, he has the ability to summon Pokémon from the local area to his aid.

==Synopsis==

After arriving in [[Unova]], having being struck by blue lightning from a thundercloud and losing to [[Trip]]'s {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} is now in [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, and is being excessively charged by electricity. {{p|Oshawott}} watches from outside the room, while the two Professors, {{an|Professor Oak}} and Professor Juniper attempt to restore power to the lab's electronics. Meanwhile, a large blue lightning bolt continuously rains downwards, and the silhouette of the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}} is seen hiding within the clouds. Its wings glow bright blue and with a burst of energy, it flies up towards the sky.

Pikachu falls on all fours, screaming in pain. {{Ash}}, in an attempt to calm it down, immediately grabs Pikachu, and is shocked by the electricity. Immediately, the blue lightning and the black clouds disappears suddenly and the sky is calm once again. Ash falls back onto the ground, and [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]], out of concern, rushes to his side. Pikachu lies on the ground on its belly, its cheeks emitting sparks. The electronic systems in the lab then mysteriously regain power.

Mrs. Ketchum, followed by Oshawott who walks up to Ash, both express their concern over him. Ash reassures them and gets up immediately, apparently worried about Pikachu. The {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon gets up on its feet, smiles and then charges its tail with electricity, showing Ash that it has recovered. In order to test out Pikachu's electricity further, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him. After Ash was given a decent shock from Pikachu, he comes to the conclusion that Pikachu is back to normal, before collapsing due to exhaustion.

Later that night, while having dinner together with Pikachu, his mother and {{an|Professor Oak}}, Ash announces that he wants to begin a new adventure in Unova, to be able to meet new Pokémon and make new friends, and will be challenging the [[Unova League]]. Approving of his decision, Professor Oak tells him that he will take good care of his other Pokémon while he is away, while Ash's mother advises Pikachu to look after Ash. Professor Oak, as a [[Pokémon Researcher|researcher]], then requests Ash to occasionally report to him about new Pokémon and discoveries. Right after their dinner, Professor Juniper gives him a [[Pokédex]] and five [[Poké Ball]]s, and tells him that the first [[Gym]] is at [[Striaton City]]. She also reminds him that he may meet his rival, [[Trip]], while on his journey.

As the sun rises in the morning, Ash is now prepared to leave for his journey. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ketchum, standing beside the two Professors, now rattles off a list of advice and to-dos for Ash on his journey. He tells her that he is not a small boy anymore, and when Professor Juniper informs him about the [[Pokémon Center]] after leaving the forest, he turns around and sets off, the three adults cheering him on. Oshawott watches from behind.

Ash walks into the forest, wondering what kind of Pokémon he will capture first. He then hears rustling from a bush he jogs past, and seeing something purple, he checks his Pokédex. The electronic gadget displays a picture of an {{p|Axew}}, apparently green in color. Talking about Axew's properties and behavior, Ash wonders why what he sees is so different from what it is being displayed. Nevertheless, without thinking, he throws a [[Poké Ball]], and it hits... a girl's head! The girl rises from the bush, enraged at being thought of as a Pokémon. Apparently, it was actually her purple hair that Ash had spotted while she was picking fruits. Ash immediately apologies for his actions. Accepting his apology, the girl raises the fruit she had picked to her hair and an Axew pops out, grabs the fruit and lands on the ground, eating it.

As Pikachu walks forward towards Axew, it was spotted by the girl and was grabbed. She then starts playing with its cheeks, hugging it tightly and starts cuddling it. She asks Ash about Pikachu, and the two then formally introduce each other. The girl is actually named {{an|Iris}}. During the conversation, Pikachu struggles to breathe and discharges a lot of electricity, causing Iris to drop to the ground. Later on, Iris apologizes to Pikachu, and she questions Ash about the incident that happened yesterday. Upon hearing that Professor Juniper described the Pokémon as Zekrom, she starts further questioning him, but Ash and Pikachu, having spotted a {{p|Deerling}}, became distracted and chases after it.

Somewhere in a cave, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are reporting to {{an|Giovanni}}, who has learnt that their infiltration to the Unova region was successful. The {{TRT}} trio, plotting to capture Pikachu and a legendary Pokémon they had encountered, requests to have their Pokémon that they had left in the Headquarters. However, [[Matori]] interrupts, and tells them that using Pokémon that are not native to Unova would raise suspicions, so they will have to catch Pokémon only found in Unova. {{MTR}} then wonders if he will be alright, as he is not native to Unova. Giovanni takes his leave, and the three become very determined to succeed. Back at the HQ, Giovanni once again reaffirms his secretary's doubts by telling her that trusts the trio, and that he is sure that their operations will result in Unova's secret organization revealing themselves. Meanwhile, the trio are inspecting the 'Starter Kit' they have been sent (which comes with Poké Balls), when a colony of {{p|Woobat}} flies towards them.

Back in the forest, Ash spots a herd of Deerling near a pond, and checks his Pokédex. Without thinking again, he throws a Poké Ball at one of them, to which it easily deflected with its head. Iris then teases Ash for not battling the Deerling first, to which Ash responds he was trying his luck. Ash is about to send Pikachu into battle when suddenly, one of the Deerling alerts the herd, and they all run away. Apparently, the Deerling was alerted because a scurry of {{p|Patrat}} was on a rampage, rather than it being due to Pikachu's presence.

Night soon approaches and the sun begins to set. As Ash and Iris begins searching for food, Ash picks an apple from the tree and wonders if it could be eaten. However, Iris manages to obtain a mountain of apples from the same tree, significantly burying Ash and Pikachu underneath.

As night falls, Iris and Axew are sitting on the tree, while Ash and Pikachu are sitting on the ground, all four of them eating apples. They soon talk about yesterday's incident whereby Pikachu was unable to generate electric attacks due to Zekrom's mysterious powers. Iris then exclaims excitedly about encountering Zekrom, while Ash starts talking about the possibility of meeting mysterious Pokémon like Zekrom everywhere. Ash looks up, and realizes that Iris and Axew had fallen asleep.

Ash and Pikachu begin admiring the brilliant, star-filled night sky, when a shooting star, a symbol of good luck, runs across their field of vision. The two soon become excited about their journey, and as they drown themselves in a babble of energized chatter, Oshawott appears from behind a bush, oblivious to the two of them...

The next day, Ash wakes to find Iris missing, but nevertheless continues with his journey. He sees a {{p|Pidove}} flying above the forest, checks his Pokédex, then starts chasing after it. Reaching a clearing where a flock of Pidove had gathered, Ash tells Pikachu to engage the one closest to it. Pikachu, using its super-effective Thunderbolt against Pidove, causes it to faint. However, when Ash is about to throw a Poké Ball, the enraged flock of Pidove attacks Ash and Pikachu with {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, buying enough time for the fainted Pidove to recover and flee. As the entire flock of Pidove flee, Ash starts feeling dejected, until one particular Pidove walks in front of Ash and starts pecking at the ground.

Grabbing this opportunity, Ash commands Pikachu to use Quick Attack, and Pidove is sent flying across the ground. It then manages to get onto its feet, recovers and tries to regain an awareness of its surroundings. As it was doing so, Pikachu jumps into the air and its tail hardens into block of shiny metal. With one fell swoop, it lands its {{m|Iron Tail}} attack on Pidove, causing it to fall back onto its belly. Ash quickly throws a Poké Ball, and Pidove turns into a red blob of energy that is soon drawn into the red-white sphere. The ball lands on the ground, and starts tethering back and forth. Ash and Pikachu watches quietly, waiting for the indication on the Poké Ball to signify Pidove's capture. For a moment Ash thought he had caught it, but the Poké Ball eventually burst open and Pidove escapes into the air.

Now, in retaliation, Pidove attacks Pikachu with {{m|Gust}}, Quick Attack and then an Air Cutter. Confident of itself, it attempts to finish Pikachu off with a second Quick Attack. This time, however, Pikachu jumps into the air in time and dodges it, and Pidove flies uncontrollably in the air, hitting a nearby tree. Pikachu then prepares a Thunderbolt attack as Pidove gets up, trying to avoid the attack, but fails - it was hit and became unconscious. Ash throws a Poké Ball again, Pidove turns into a red globe of energy and is, once again, drawn into the ball. The ball drops and shakes, Ash waits in anticipation. Will he be able to catch it? The red light soon disappears, and the ball stops moving. Ash has caught {{AP|Pidove}}!

As Ash and Pikachu celebrate the success of their first capture in Unova, Iris shows up with an apple, saying that his celebration over catching a Pidove is typical of a small child's behavior. Ash then exclaims that he now has a new partner when competing in the Unova League. During the conversation, Axew splits the apple given by Iris and shares it with Pikachu. However, before the two Pokémon could finish eating, a pair of mechanical hands grabs them. Ash and Iris turn around to find the Team Rocket trio, standing beside the 'hands'-machine and reciting their new [[Team Rocket mottos#Unova|motto]].

Iris questions who Team Rocket are, and she soon realizes that they are a group of people who steal Pokémon for their evil ambitions and aim to conquer the world. Iris immediately demands Team Rocket to return her Axew, but she also notices that Meowth is able to talk. As she is amazed, Meowth then self-proclaims that is it far more intelligent than all {{p|Meowth|other Meowth}}. Team Rocket then places Pikachu and Axew in a glass cage, forcing Ash to send out Pidove. In an attempt to show how strong Pokémon from [[Kanto]] are, Jessie sends Meowth to battle, who attempted to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With great flaps of its wings, Pidove sends Meowth flying backwards with a {{m|Gust}} attack. Jessie then sends out a bat-like Pokémon which she had captured: {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} (She only learns of the name only when Iris announces it). Woobat starts attacking Pidove with an {{m|Air Slash}}, but Pidove evades the attack and charges at Woobat with a Quick Attack. Woobat dodges to the side, turns around and uses Gust, knocking Pidove down. Pidove hits the ground and faints, and Woobat is recalled by its owner.

James then prepares a purple {{wp|Balloon (aircraft)|balloon}}, ready to escape from Ash and Iris. Desperate, Ash and Iris both climb a nearby tree and Ash jumps off from the top, ready to grab the glass box that was hanging steadily underneath the balloon. However, he misses and falls back all the way to the ground. Seemingly hopeless at rescuing Pikachu and Axew, Oshawott suddenly appears from nowhere and throws its scalchop at Team Rocket's balloon. Air escapes from their balloon and they now descend downwards towards the ground, eventually shattering the box which contains Pikachu and Axew. As the box breaks open and the captured Pokémon fly out, both Ash and Iris jump forward to catch their Pokémon, while Oshawott catches its scalchop, places it back at its belly, and jumps for joy.

However, Team Rocket will not retreat without a fight. As Ash and Iris refuse to hand over their Pokémon, Ash tells Pikachu to attack with Thunderbolt. Jessie immediately sends out Woobat, and the Bat Pokémon uses Air Slash on Pikachu and Axew before Pikachu's electric attack could hit. For a second time, Jessie tells Woobat to use Air Slash. Just before Woobat could perform its attack, Oshawott jumps in front of the two Pokémon and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Woobat, sending it flying towards Team Rocket. Pikachu gets up. With a surge of electricity, it charges itself and attempts to run its {{m|Volt Tackle}} into Team Rocket. However, James throws a smoke bomb and a smoke curtain is formed, causing Pikachu to run into the smoke. When the smoke has cleared, however, Team Rocket had already disappeared. Pikachu and Axew, tired and exhausted, faint and collapse onto the ground. Ash grabs Pikachu and thanks Oshawott. Then, together with Iris, they both rush to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Oshawott stares blankly as they disappeared into the distance, puzzled as to what had happened.

Later that evening, Ash's Pikachu and Pidove and Iris' Axew were healed at the Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] exclaims that it is the first time she had seen and healed a Pikachu, and Ash makes his introduction. As she learns that Ash is from [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto]] region and it is his first time visiting a Unova Pokémon Center, she formally welcomes him on behalf of all Pokémon Centers. Iris then thanks Ash for helping her rescue Axew, but Ash says that Oshawott should be thanked instead. As Ash wonders why Oshawott had helped them, the Sea Otter Pokémon secretly peeps into the Pokémon Center and observes Ash...

== Spam ==

Is it considered spam if a sockpuppet goes to a talk page and put something there that led the original user to get blocked in the first place? I was kind of wondering that regarding what this MichaelXD002 user did. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:21, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, I've seen sockpuppets' comments being removed in the past.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
::I just removed a comment of his in evkl's talk page due to that reason. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

== Question ==
Dennou, did you reset your talk page? Every old message you had is gone. [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:47, 1 November 2012 (UTC) 10:47, 1 November 12 (UTC)
:Yes, I [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Archiving user talk pages|archived]] it. The old talk page is [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi/2011-2+2012-1|here]] but you can't edit it.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 16:04, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
::Okay, just wondering. But anyway, I have a favor to ask. I have become a better Bulbapedia user since my creating rights were taken away, but now I have a bigger goal in mind. I want to become an administrator like you. Right now, my mission is to prove to every administrator that I have what it takes by fixing the incomplete synopses for all articles. I just wanted advice, and I came to the two best administrators I know, you and Jo the Marten. How exactly did you guys get to be administrators? [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 01:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC) 21:35, 1 November 12 (UTC)
:::The link that Jo posted explains it well. And sorry to be blunt, but you have to become a way better and more active editor to be considered to become an admin. Also, please try to avoid {{bp|Talk page policy#How should a talk page not be used?|posting the same question across multiple pages}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Understood. But seriously, you don't have to be a smart Alec. I came to you for help, not insults. And would an inactive editor fix the synopsis for two episodes, add a helping picture for a status effect, add examples to the Pokémon controversy page, AND reprimand other amateur users for violating the rules? I don't think so. I agree I could do more, but I think "inactive" is an overstatement. [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 18:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC) 14:15, 2 November 12 (UTC)
:::::Okay, you're actually kinda active. Anyway, I didn't say you'll never become an admin. I meant that you have to become a more diverse editor and make at least hundreds of good/helpful edits. I became an official junior admin after making about 9000 ''mainspace'' edits, more than 1000 talk page edits, receiving {{bp|Golden Bulbasaur Award|Golden Eevee and Pikachu}}, and being a temporary junior admin for several months.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

== Help in Floccesy Ranch ==

You recently edited floccesy ranch, removing the cleanup tag i added back when the encounter rates were bad.
There was a discussion on the talk page about the encounter rates and how the original ones there were wrong.
I put some placeholder ones in, which were then replaced by rarities from the official strategy guide.
They have since been replaced by someone who has not bothered to comment on the talk page, and thus you thought the cleanp was resolved when those who havn't read the talk page put values in.
Could you help, and reconsider the cleanup tag?----[[User:Aquatix|'''Aquatix''']] ''([[User talk:Aquatix|talk to me!]])'' 12:00, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
:I can't really help with the encounter rates because I don't have access to the game data and I don't own any guidebooks. I removed the {{template|cleanup}} tag because the correct tag for that situation is the {{template|incomplete}} tag, which was already in the article.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

==John Loeffler==
I undid the hiding, and put "according to john loeffler." all admins, leave me alone about this, because i was asked to put this there by John himself. the facebook accuont said that his name was John Loeffler, he lived in New York city and that he is a composer and singer, so that's proof that it's the real one. i do not know how to send links of the facebook conversation to you without revealing my realk name, (Christian Woods is my sudanym, like how Ted Lewis is Ed Paul) but i do know this: John Loeffler is going to try to check on this page within 24 hours, and i want him to see to his satisfaction that i did the edit, just to show that i kept my word, mmkay?
side note: You can send Kenji girl after me, but i know that i'm not wrong, and that i'm not operating against pollicy, i swear on it. I'm nearly taking a request and allowing the information to be given out. it's not like john said "But don't tell anyone, it's a big big secret!" or anything, so don't try and make it a secret, mmkay? mmkay? thanks. and admins, i don't want any infractions because of this. i just want it to get out there and to let people see it, just as john asked me to. thanks.

== Dragon Rage in BW085 ==

Why not include that error about Dragon Rage being a critical hit? Who determines which aspects of the games are adopted into the anime and which aren't? Because it seems like a helluva lot else does. In fact, we'd have to go back and remove roughly half of all errors ever added because the anime ''may'' work under different rules. The anime, which I need not remind, is based on the games. Heck, for all we know, the anime writers ''intentionally'' wrote that Electric doesn't affect Rock-types when they made that "error" about a half-dozen times in the first season. We should just go ahead and say that indeed, a Rhyhorn is vulnerable to Electricity in its horn and mouth. It's the same logic (rather, lack thereof). Water beats Fire, Pikachu's Static Ability causes Paralysis, and Dragon Rage does 40 damage. Even something as specific as a Pokémon's level is mentioned several times. Why does one person set the precedent for a piece of noteworthy trivia? I don't care if he or she's an admin, or even if there is a circle of admins who agree with him/her, clearly there are four people who made the effort to note that information. Let's not forget either that whatever precedents the Bulbapedia staff have established are not automatically what the writers intended. Also, you'd think that instead of complaining each time the same reasonable error was added, you guys could add a handy-dandy  (hidden message) in the Error section. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:10, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
: So apparently someone had the sense to put that message in after the fourth person added the error. Clap-clap. Here's another problem: the writer says that it's because Cilan uses a "completely different term"? I'm sorry, maybe he said something else in Farsi, but in ''English'' he said it "looks like a critical hit!" Come on. I don't even need to point out how this person's definition of "completely different" is laughable. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
::Eh, the ''English'' version is just a dub. In the ''original'' Japanese version, he just said "Kibago hit the target" (this can be mentioned in the Dub edits section). Also, Dragon Rage obviously works differently in the anime than it does in the games, because there are no HPs (and levels were quickly retconned to not exist). Or do you think that Gary's Golem had less than 40 HP? If you still disagree, you should contact {{u|Kenji-girl}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:09, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

== Actually ==
I did not assume Escavalier had Twineedle, I said it because Serebii himself said that it was used and that's usually a pretty good confirmation considering his status. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:Serebii should never be used as a source (you've been told it before), and he makes lots of move errors in his Character Bios because '''he''' assumes most moves he adds.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks for that fix ==

I noticed you fixed the redlinks in my pokémon subpage. I should have known, but I am a mere beginner when it comes to templates; had to use a sample, but what I used for a reference never had a nickname parameter. Hopefully I'll remember that when I add more Pokémon to that page. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 19:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

== Since you can apparently use Japanese... ==

Do you think you can {{tt|translate|translate as in eg. translate マサゴタウン to Masago Town (Sandgem Town)}} [[Talk:List of Ribbons in the games#Japanese names.|some]] of this?

== Too large? ==

For a while now, I was looking after the [[Pokémon.com online games]] article, as no one seemed to update it. It is still incomplete (needs info on a recently released game, etc.). Just now, I noticed something: it surpasses the [[Décor]] article, which has an oversize notice, by around 12k bytes, yet the former has neither an oversize notice nor an indication of suggesting separate pages. Also, I plan on incorporating some [[User:Berrenta /Trophy|trophy tables that are in the works]], which would make the article larger. Do you think there should be subpages for trophies and/or pre-revamp games? I asked on the article's talkpage and did not get a response yet. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 18:46, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:The Décor article has the oversized and merge tags because it has so many templates that some of them can't even be seen. The Pokémon.com games has almost zero templates so we don't have to split it and you can add the tables there when they are ready.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==

===Kanto===
====With Damian====
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|200px|left|With Damian]]
Charmander originally belonged to a braggart Trainer named [[Damian]]. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak and abandoned it, leaving it on a rocky outcrop and telling it that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but it was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that it was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned of his plans that he would never return for it. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash and {{an|Misty}} rushed to its rescue, with Brock carrying it to the [[Pokémon Center]] whilst Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.

Charmander recovered in ER and promptly left the Pokémon Center to resume its wait for Damian. However, it came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored it, it blasted them with {{m|Flamethrower}} to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with a bunch of Poké Balls and said that he had abandoned Charmander on purpose in order to allow it to toughen up. Damian throws a Poké Ball at it but the lizard Pokémon deflected the Ball. Charmander, having seen Damian's character, staunchly refused and when Damian threatened to crush it with all of his other Pokémon, it attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu. Damian fled and Charmander happily joined Ash's team.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|220px|right|With Ash]]
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. Also, it ganged up with a group of other Charmander on the [[St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Ash sent it out to lead the way through the haunted tower, but was terrified of the {{type|Ghost|ghosts}} and Ash recalled it after it became paralyzed by {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}'s {{m|Lick}}.

In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}} which it finally subdued after learning {{m|Rage}}, which vastly increased its firepower and allowed it to knock Primeape out with a devastating Flamethrower. Charmander made its Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where it defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. However, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Charmander battled [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}. Charmander's power continued to grow, easily defeating a {{p|Golem}} owned by a biker named [[Chopper]], despite the type disadvantage in ''[[EP036|The Bike Bridge Gang]]''. The flames from Charmander's attack were so powerful that Golem continued to burn and the heat went through the Poké Ball.

The rise in battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it single-handedly stopped a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its [[obedience]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help {{p|Paras}} evolve. [[Cassandra]]'s grandmother explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it did not respect him anymore. Ironically a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|thumb|220px|left|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}]]
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon proudly fought back but was unable to do anything. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was shaken off. Angry, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. It managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground, but retained its disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seem evenly matched. Magmar drops Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regains the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial submission and then knocking it out with its powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}.
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|220px|right|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash, but took up the battle against {{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Charizard. It lasted longer than Bruteroot or Shellshocker had, but was ultimately defeated by being slammed into the ground. It was captured in a Clone Ball, much to Ash's anguish. Ash then helped to release Charizard and the others, and it ran back to continue fighting its clone. When Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{an|Mew}}, Charizard wept for its fallen master's sacrifice, its tears helping to regenerate him. Once things were back to normal, Charizard's memory was erased and it went back to its blatant disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced onto the next round.

===Orange Islands===
Ash took Charizard with him to the Orange Islands, despite its refusal to obey him. Noticeably Ash had stopped trying to use it in battles, although in the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard unwillingly helped when it tried to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although refusing to listen to Ash, it recognised the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only one of any of the group whom Charizard respected.

Charizard continued to go off on its own agenda during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack, before flying away and attempting to burn everything. Ash was unable to recall him and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to recall it.

[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|220px|left|Being taken care of by Ash]]
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to try Flamethrowers despite them having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath shrugged all of them off until Poliwrath responded with a Water Gun that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. It was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard.

Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out, before rubbing Charizard all over to help it regain its body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind, Charizard's flame was so small that Ash redoubled his efforts. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but it was so cold that it couldn't produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket and Tracey kept the fires up whilst Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash himself worked throughout the entire night to help Charizard recover.

Ash stayed up all night trying to thaw it out and, in the process, rubbed his hands completely raw. The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for it since it was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect for and loyalty to Ash had returned, and it helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were knocked senseless during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed it learned {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air, before defeating it with Seismic Toss.

It participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Double Trouble]]''. It fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, giving Ash the Jade Star Badge.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard helped Ash complete his dangerous journey to Ice Island. It used its powerful Flamethrower to repel an attack from {{an|Moltres}}, but Ash recalled it when his sleigh was destroyed and a tidal wave came crashing down.

Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with {{m|Fire Spin}} and the knocking it out with Seismic Toss. It also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but its attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands Hall of Fame with Ash's other Pokémon.

===Johto===
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the Johto region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Pidgey}} was beaten by Charizard exhaling and {{p|Rattata}} was defeated merely by bouncing of Charizard's stomach. A single Flamethrower beat {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}} and allowed Charizard to win in the sweep, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitulated on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.

Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{p|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to it came into effect when Chikorita ran toward him and tried to attack, Charizard responding by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken it. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused it to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.

It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard was put on the back foot, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting its Flamethrower back onto it. It was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner tells Ash to surrender but Ash refuses and Charizard gains the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind it and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.

[[File:EP134.png|thumb|220px|left|Being left by Ash at the Charicific Valley]]
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', Misty criticised Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insult and proudly tried to show off its power, but was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continues to pick fights and get beaten until Liza locks them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling it and Ash to stay away until they have trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathises with Charizard and help it to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla and the wild Charizard.

Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he didn't want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without it, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving its long lasting teammate behind.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', Charizard witnessed the plight of [[Greenfield]] on Liza's TV and immediately left Charicific Valley to come to Ash's aid. It arrived just in time to catch Ash as he was blasted off the cliff by {{OBP|Entei|M03}}. Charizard put up a fight against Entei and was nearly killed, but seeing the bond between Ash and Charizard changed [[Molly Hale]]'s heart and she ordered Entei to stop fighting. Charizard then helped Pikachu and Entei to break through the Unown's forcefield and to break the spell. At the end of the movie, Charizard returned to the Valley.
[[File:Valleyshipping.png|thumb|220px|right|With Charla]]
While there, it took the role of bodyguard for Liza's Charizard, [[Charla]], and the two seem to have struck up a [[ValleyShipping|romantic relationship]]. Liza occasionally visits the [[Dragon's Den|Dragon's Valley]] in [[Blackthorn City]] alongside the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'' coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, Clair, Pikachu and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in his rematch with her by causing the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. It then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending it back for training, knowing that Charizard still has a lot to learn.

Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. It managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of its significant type advantage, blasting Scizor with Flamethrower. Despite Gary's Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using its Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage. Charizard struggled against Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the square, Charizard superheated the field and forced Blastoise to cool the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, taking Blastoise out and leaving Ash as the winner.

Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}}, where it came out against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Charizard's aerial advantage was negated by Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, whilst Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A fiery clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament.

Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley, and it was revealed that it had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest it in the next round, contributing to his loss.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|220px|right|Battling against Articuno]]
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', it returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved {{m|Flamethrower}} and that it had learned {{m|DragonBreath}}. In battle it showed that it was a match even for the legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take damage from Flamethrower or DragonBreath, flattening Charizard by blinding it with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking it to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling its movements. Finally, Charizard used {{m|Overheat}}, which it had just learned, to melt the ice, then it caught Articuno as it tried to use {{m|Steel Wing}}; before striking with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed, but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.

Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''. It went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since its battle with Articuno and learned {{m|Steel Wing}}, but was put on the back foot when Dusclops uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, forcing Charizard to keep battling in its baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally Charizard snapped out of confusion and attacked with DragonBreath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match costs Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Squirtle, Pikachu and Bulbasaur managed to win the battle and the Symbol. After that, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.

It is set to return in [[BW116]].

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by Damian defined Ash's Charizard whilst it was a Charmander. Despite the scorn it received from Damian, it remained loyal to him, convinced that it had a good relationship where in fact none existed. Even when made to sit through a rain storm in hunger and fatigue and Ash and Brock have shown true kindness towards it, loyalty never wavered and Charmander almost lost its life doing so. Only a violent confrontation revealed to it the unhealthy nature of his and Damian's relationship. Charmander struggled with this abandonment, as seen in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all.

[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|220px|left|Refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of its former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had grown to become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation whilst ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} was purely based on a bruised ego, just as Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}}, [[Zippo]] and the clone Charizard were. Despite this, however, it did, to an extremely small extent, retain some respect and loyalty to its master, made especially apparent when Ash ended up killed trying to stop Mew and Mewtwo's battle, where it was seen weeping for Ash before its tears revived him.

Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing, Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. Its ability to work as part of a team was hampered but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], it finally managed to overcome that difficulty. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for his master and whilst Charizard was loyal, its love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in its departing episode, where it brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at Charicific Valley even though it was defeated every time.

Ash's Charizard is universally accepted to be one of his most powerful Pokémon. Most of Ash's significant victories were thanks to Charizard - his victories over [[Koga]], Blaine, [[Danny]], Falkner, Gary, and [[Noland's Articuno]] would all have been impossible without Charizard. Its loyalty to Ash stemmed so far that it was willing to fly all the way to Greenfield just in time to save Ash from falling to certain death, and put its life on the line to save the day.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Charmander EToP.png|thumb|140px|right|As a Charmander]]
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Ash's Charizard in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Charizard makes a few appearances in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in this series. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].

Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]]. Charmander is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while Pikachu is off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply sets Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} paralyzes him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

Later, at the 88th Pokémon League, Ash presents his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to Brock and Misty. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refuses to listen to him unless he holds a special flare that burns with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decides to not use it and use his other Pokémon instead.

[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|right|Ash's Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]
In the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sends out Charizard as third and last Pokémon in his match against Ritchie. Ritchie counters with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard goes into a violent frenzy and mercilessly starts scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempts to stop this mauling with his flare but Charizard ignores it and continues to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere.

Ash decides to return Charizard to its Poké Ball, forfeiting the match and making Ritchie the winner in the process. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ash leaves the arena and apologizes to Ritchie who states that it's alright and that his Charley will be fine after a trip to the Pokémon Center.

Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.

Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' where it was used to battle [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battles against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard is eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.

==Trivia==
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard has used the most moves, a total of 14 (15 if the unused {{m|Mega Punch}} is included).
* During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use '''''his''''' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is. Further hints to Charizard's gender were applied with the introduction of [[Charla]].
* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage.
* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Articuno}}.
* Currently, Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. Every other Pokémon obeyed him without question following their evolutions. All others that had this trait, [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] and [[Iris's Excadrill]], belong to another Trainer.
** However, despite obeying Ash, as {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Monferno}}, {{AP|Infernape}} cannot listen to Ash when its {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] made him went on rampage. He could control himself after evolving into {{p|Infernape}}.
* Until the episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon as he was obedient against Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard and [[Zippo]].
* It has become a running gag in the anime that whenever Charizard returns to Ash, it greets him by scorching him with its Flamethrower.

'''The Ghost of Maiden's Peak''' (Japanese: '''ゆうれいポケモンとなつまつり''' ''The Ghost Pokémon and the Summer Festival'') is the 20th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 12, 1997 and in the United States on October 2, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
In the beginning of the episode, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are traveling by a ferry from the holiday resort of [[Porta Vista]] to [[Maiden's Peak]]. Ash notes that they're going to land soon, but {{an|Brock}} moans that he doesn't care about seeing land again as he has missed the summer season and has to wait a whole year for the next one.

After docking, they find out that they've just arrived there at the time of the annual Summer Ending Festival. When they decide to go and enjoy it, Brock sees a beautiful girl up the distant cliff. He immediately falls in love with her, but after being run over by a group of tourists he notices that the girl has disappeared. {{AP|Pikachu}} is the only one that seems to notice that the girl is actually a {{p|Gastly}}, but Ash and Misty seem not to notice her at all.

As usual, {{TRT}} follows Ash and company to Maiden's Peak. They come up with an idea to look around for dropped coins, and while pondering it, [[James]] sees the same girl Brock saw before, only by the water. [[Jessie]] slaps James to regain his attention. As they leave to look for the coins, James takes a final look at the dock, noticing the disappearance of the girl.

During the festival, Ash, Misty and Brock meet an old lady. She warns Brock that he should beware a young, beautiful girl who will lead him to a cruel fate. After the old lady calls Misty a scrawny blabbermouth, she decides that they should be somewhere else instead of being insulted.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket puts their plan into action, though they do not seem to find anything. Then James notices a penny lying on the walkway, but as he approaches it he is interrupted by the old lady, which Ash and company met just a moment ago. As in the case of Brock, she mentions the young girl to James. Then an [[Officer Jenny]] appears and takes away the coin James found. When she suggests that they go down to the station with her to fill out a report, Team Rocket stammers that it's all right, they don't need to go down to the station, and then they flee the scene.

Both Ash's crew and Team Rocket head for the Shrine of the Maiden. They see the shrine's greatest treasure, the painting of the maiden. Brock and James both realize that the girl in the painting is the same girl they saw before, and both attempt to approach the painting but are blocked by the man presenting the painting to the audience. He then tells the story of the maiden, who waited on the cliff for her loved one to return from the war, and eventually turning into stone.

The two groups go to take a closer look at the aforementioned cliff, and {{MTR}} formulates a plan to steal the painting with the intention of selling it for a lot of money. They decide to swipe the painting later that evening. As night falls, Brock is still at the cliff. Misty tries to make him forget the stone so they can go back and enjoy the festival, but Brock insists on staying a little bit longer, so Ash and Misty leave him sitting there. When it's about time for the local [[Pokémon Center]] to lock the doors for the night, Brock still hasn't returned from the cliff, unlike they had planned. Ash decides to go look for Brock, but [[Nurse Joy]] holds him back, giving Ash a short lecture on the importance of sleep.

In the middle of the night, Meowth tries to wake up Jessie and James so they can try to steal the painting, but the two are not very eager to wake up. Suddenly a strong wind starts blowing, and the doors of the Maiden's Shrine are blown open. The ghost of the maiden floats out from the inside, causes Meowth to fall asleep and then wakes up James. She also shows herself to Brock, telling him that she's been waiting for him. Brock replies that he has been waiting, too.

Ash and Misty start looking for Brock on the next morning, while Meowth and Jessie start looking for James. Ash and Jessie then meet face-to-face and notice that they both are looking for a missing person. Jessie performs the Team Rocket motto all alone, but then they hear James saying his lines. James is thrown from inside the shrine, followed by Brock. As they try to get Brock and James back to normal, the old lady appears again, reminding them of her warning about the ghost of the maiden. Ash's Pikachu shocks James and Brock to get them back to normal.

They get inside, and the old lady states that all young men have fallen into the curse while passing through Maiden's Peak. They decide to protect themselves from the ghost by buying a bunch of anti-ghost stickers and sticking them around the shrine and the two cursed ones. However, when the night comes, they note that the stickers do not work, and like on the previous night, the ghost of the maiden appears. Ash and others try to prevent Brock and James from being pulled out by the maiden.

After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie, the ghost of the maiden summons several skull-like ghostly apparitions. Ash tries to identify them with his [[Pokédex]] with no result. However, he accidentally points the Pokédex at the ghost of the maiden, and Pokédex identifies her as a {{p|Gastly}}. Since Gastly's disguise has been revealed, it transforms back to its normal form. Ash then challenges it to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Ash commands Pikachu to start the battle, but Gastly summons a living mouse trap to scare Pikachu off. Meowth states that mouse traps don't work on him, but Gastly summons a ball for him to play with, distracting him. Jessie then sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, only for it to be scared off by Gastly's newly summoned mongoose. James commands his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to attack with the {{m|Poison Gas}} attack, but the mongoose stomps it down.

Ash decides it's his turn to try again and calls out {{AP|Charmander}}. Gastly summons a fire extinguisher, and Ash has to call Charmander back, mainly because Charmander was too busy running from the water to battle. He then calls out both {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, but Gastly summons a {{p|Venusaur}} and a {{p|Blastoise}}, which causes Ash's Pokémon to get too scared to do anything, and just because it thinks it's fun, it combines them into a hybrid called "Venustoise". After repeatedly being beaten by Gastly, Misty tries another strategy. She uses a cross, garlic, a stake, and a hammer, comparing Gastly to a vampire. However, the sun starts to rise once again, and as Gastly hates sunlight, it disappears, saying that the ghost of the maiden and the old woman will return next years festival.

On the following night, the festival continues on. Ash and friends have fun, and everything is back to normal. As the episode ends, the true ghost of the Maiden emerges from her stone self, thanking Gastly for keeping her legend alive in the town.

==Trivia==
[[File:Mongoose anime.png|thumb|right|200px|The mongoose]]
* The priest says the great war the maiden's lover went off to happened 2000 years before the episode's events.
* One of the creatures Gastly transforms into is a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real]] {{wp|mongoose}}.
* The outfits that Ash, Misty, and Brock wear during the festival reappear in the fourth [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending song]], [[Pokémon Ondo]].
* The similarly named Maiden Peak is a real mountain in {{wp|Oregon}}.
* The Maiden's Peak statue is almost identical to the Orichalcum statue that was a plot device in early episodes of the {{wp|Slayers}} anime series.
* There are many Japanese cultural references in this episode, especially during the festival at the end.
* The festival is also the first time {{an|Misty}} is seen with her hair down.
* The {{p|Gastly}} in this episode is the only known one to date that is able to speak and shape-shift.
* This is the first episode to feature another Pokémon, other than {{MTR}}, that is able to [[Talking Pokémon|talk]] without telepathy. The second is [[A Shipful of Shivers]].
* The kanji on the fire extinguisher Gastly uses to extinguish Ash's Charmander's tail flame was left unedited in the dub.
* In the {{pmin|the Arab world|Arabic dub}}, this episode was removed for unknown reasons, likely because of the extensive representation of spirits and ghosts in ways that are against Islamic culture. It was also removed from the Korean dub.
* After Jessie shoots the ghost with the bazooka, she coincidentally makes a reference to a [[EP181|future episode]].

===Errors===
[[File:EP020 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash's miscolored hat]]
* James commands his {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}} to use {{m|Poison Gas}}, which Koffing could [[Anime move errors|not legally learn]] in a Generation I game unless it was traded back from Generation II. At the time of the episode's original airing, no Generation II game had been released yet, meaning that at the time of this episode airing, Koffing was completely unable to learn Poison Gas by any means.
* When Ash says "We lose. It's just too strong", the red part of his hat is white.

===Dub edits===
* Most Japanese words on festival signs are removed.
** The fan that Misty held had its kanji erased.
* Also, Misty (or, at least, someone who sounded suspiciously like her) shouted "Let's go to the ferris wheel!" twice in the scene; specifically, right up to the part where Brock says "She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen...".
* The penny was originally a ¥5 coin in the Japanese version. However, the ¥1000 and ¥5000 bills in the old woman's cash register were left unchanged.
* The {{wp|o-fuda}} they wear were referred to as "anti-ghost stickers" in the dub.
* Brock's "Hey! Let me go!" line in the dub was actually "You guys...!" in the Japanese version. The Japanese implied that Brock was in a trance and his friends broke the trance.
* Ash says that, since Gastly is a Pokémon, he can battle it with his Pokémon in the Japanese version.
* The ball that Meowth was playing with had the word "Matatabi", meaning "catnip", which was erased from the dub.
* The mongoose says "Mongoose" in the vein of a Pokémon in the original instead of "Dinner time!"

'''Burgundy''' (Japanese: '''カベルネ''' ''Cabernet'') is a recurring character of the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a C-class [[Pokémon Connoisseur|Pokémon Connaisseuse]] and a rival of {{an|Cilan}}.

==History==
[[File:Young Burgundy.png|thumb|250px|left|Burgundy before she became a Connaisseuse]]
Burgundy was first seen in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' working in a lavish [[Poké Mart]] somewhere between [[Pinwheel Forest]] and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]]. She called {{Ash}} over, who was waiting in a long line to see a Connaisseuse, to visit her shop instead. He accepted this offer and she immediately pulled him inside her stall and took an interest in {{AP|Pikachu}}, a rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Unova]]. She was then asked to evaluate {{AP|Sewaddle}} and decided that, because of his [[Ability]] {{a|Swarm}}, it was a poor Pokémon for Ash's team. She then demanded to see the rest of his [[party]], finding something wrong with each of them. Her actions and evaluation towards the Pokémon caused each and every one of them to attack her. Furious, she exclaimed that Ash is not compatible with any of his Pokémon and demanded that he replace them immediately.

Suddenly, {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}} interrupted the session after losing track of where Ash had gone. Burgundy, recognizing Cilan, screamed and pointed at him; Cilan, recognizing her in return, then explained that she challenged him at the [[Striaton Gym]] a while back and that he managed to defeat her {{p|Oshawott}} with his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Burgundy explained that his evaluation of her Oshawott had motivated her to want revenge against him, even to go as far as to study on how to become a Pokémon Connaisseuse so she could out do him. When she felt she was ready, she had returned to [[Striaton City]], completely motivated to re-challenge Cilan. However, [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] explained to her that Cilan had left to travel, crushing Burgundy's spirit; left with little choice, Burgundy battled Chili and won the {{Badge|Trio}}.

Burgundy challenged Cilan to a two-on-two [[Pokémon battle]] and used her {{p|Dewott}} and her premium-brand Pokémon {{p|Sawsbuck}}. Before the match started, she made Cilan promise that he will accept her evaluation that Ash is incompatible with all of his Pokémon and that he would have to let her replace all of them. Cilan agreed, much to Ash's dislike. Both Dewott and Sawsbuck were easily defeated by [[Cilan's Dwebble]] and Pansage respectively. In the end, Burgundy decided to leave the Poké Mart to travel on her own. She vowed that the next time she and Cilan meet that she would defeat him. Then Burgundy ran off.

Burgundy reappeared in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' to participate in the [[Club Battle]] tournament. She was put up against Ash in her first battle where she revealed her new premium-brand, a {{p|Stoutland}}. Ash vowed to prove to her that he did have a good relationship with all his Pokémon, and sent out his previously unused {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He managed to defeat Burgundy, pushing her out of the tournament in her first battle. She stayed for the remainder of the tournament in order to watch Cilan compete, and to intimidate and insult him before his matches. In the final round, she challenged Cilan to a Connoisseur showdown to see who could evaluate Iris and Ash's battle the best with [[Stephan]] being a judge. However, she admitted defeat early in the showdown and she and Cilan watched the remainder of the battle in silence. After the tournament, Burgundy promised to keep working hard and trying her best so she could be better the next time she and Cilan cross paths so that they could finish their Connoisseur showdown. After some words of encouragement from Cilan, she says goodbye.

She reappeared in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'' where she registered to compete in the [[Clubsplosion]]. As like before, she wishes to have her "revenge" on Cilan and was irritated to see him make it through to the second round. Her first opponent was {{an|Iris}} whom she lost to in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'', thus knocking her out of the Clubsplosion. She once again stayed to watch Cilan compete, and left in ''[[BW073|Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!]]''.

Burgundy appeared again in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]'' wanting to get into [[Mr. Hattori]]'s mansion so she could help his [[Momocchi|daughter]] pick out her first Pokémon. Since she was only a C-class Connaisseuse she was denied access and was infuriated that Cilan was allowed in. It did not stop her and she managed to sneak in disguised as an S-class Connoisseur named "Taverne". Her disguise did not hold up however and she was escorted out of the mansion. Later she snuck in again to watch the battle between Cilan and [[Pinot Noir]] but was sent "blasting off" when {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}'s {{m|Rock Wrecker}} strayed and hit her.

She reappeared in [[BW090]] entering the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] where she battled [[Trip]] in the first round and used a {{p|Darmanitan}}. Despite the type advantage she had over [[Trip's Serperior]], she lost with one hit and thus was eliminated from the tournament.

==Character==
[[File:Burgundy and Cilan.png|thumb|left|200px|Burgundy and her rival, Cilan]]
Burgundy can be somewhat of a brat, but she does mean well and loves her Pokémon dearly. Her ultimate goal is to become a great Connaisseuse as a result of her loss to Cilan. She also wishes to defeat him in order to obtain her revenge. Though, the reason for her revenge is often blown out of proportion. She is shown not to take criticism very well on several different occasions, particularly criticism from Cilan.

Burgundy can also be slightly abrasive when it comes to her job as seen when she told Ash to replace all of his Pokémon. Also, she can be too invasive with the Pokémon she evaluates causing them to attack her. When speaking, she tends to use an array of French words and phrases, some of which are mispronounced. This may be her attempting to appear elegant and graceful.

Though she pretends that she does not wish to learn anything from Cilan, Burgundy always pays the most attention to him when he begins to evaluate as seen during the Club Battle tournament arc.

|desc=As an {{p|Oshawott}}, Burgundy's {{p|Dewott}} is defeated by [[Cilan's Pansage]] in a past Gym battle. She later used Dewott to battle Cilan once more, this time against his {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}. Despite the type advantage and Dewott's good offensive attacks, it could not break through Dwebble's strong defense. It quickly became fatigued, and Dwebble defeated it with a {{m|Shell Smash}} and {{m|X-Scissor}} combo.

Burgundy chose Dewott to participate in the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'' where it began its battle with [[Iris's Excadrill]]. In ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'', Dewott fought against Iris's Excadrill. It started off by using {{m|Ice Beam}} and froze Excadrill partially but he was able to get rid of the ice easily. When he dug underground using {{m|Dig}}, Dewott fired a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack into the hole causing a geyser effect that shot Excadrill out of the ground. When he attacked with {{m|Drill Run}}, Dewott used its two [[scalchop]]s to block his attack. However the attack knocked its scalchops out of its hands.

Just before Excadrill attacked it with {{m|Metal Claw}}, Burgundy told Dewott to guard itself and take the attacks. It was so that it could initiate {{m|Revenge}} which dealt a lot of damage to Excadrill. That also gave it a chance to retrieve its lost scalchops and use Razor Shell again, but it was still blocked by Excadrill's Drill Run. As he used {{m|Focus Blast}}, Dewott attempted to counter it with Ice Beam but to no avail and it was hit dead on. However it was not finished just yet. After taking a combination of Dig and Drill Run from its opponent, it was defeated and Burgundy was knocked out of the tournament.

Dewott's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Razor Shell}}, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Revenge}}.}}

'''Iris's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのカイリュー''' ''Iris's Kairyu'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Iris}} obtained.

==History==
Dragonite first appeared in [[BW089]] where it was chasing down a {{p|Hydreigon}}. The Hydreigon wounded its wing sending it crashing down into a lake. Dragonite became airborne again but was descending because of its injury. Eventually it hit a terminal of a power plant causing a blackout in [[Undella Town]]. Though it was just an accident, the workers at the power plant believed it to be intentional. Wanting to escape the workers, Dragonite entered the power plant and barricaded itself in a room using {{m|Ice Beam}} to seal itself in the room. It curled up on the floor to rest in order to recuperate.

Hearing about the story of Dragonite from [[Officer Jenny]], {{an|Iris}} refused to believe that it caused the blackout purposefully. Later she, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Dawn}} infiltrated the power plant and found Dragonite. It struck out at them and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} were used to keep it at bay until {{an|Meloetta}} came in and soothed it with its voice. Afterwards it collapsed again because of its injuries. While Ash and Dawn went to inform Officer Jenny, Iris was able to read its heart and saw that the injury caused by Hydreigon caused its flying to be hindered, thus accidentally crashing into the terminal.

Despite this, Officer Jenny rallied a group of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to take down Dragonite. Iris threw herself in front of Dragonite in order to protect it from them just long enough for Ash and {{ashfr}} to return with surveillance footage to prove Dragonite's innocence. At the end of the day, just before Dragonite was about to leave, it looked back at Iris. {{an|Cilan}} suggested that perhaps Dragonite wished to be Iris's Pokémon and allowed itself to be captured by her.

==Personality and characteristics==
Dragonite is the kind of Pokémon that is ready and willing to take on all opponents. Its hostile facial expression notably sets it apart from all other Dragonite. Though it is tough, it may have a certain soft spot for Iris as it let itself be captured easily.

==Trivia==
* Dragonite is the first fully evolved [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] owned by a main character, though Ash owns {{AP|Gible}} and [[Larvitar]], which evolve into pseudo-legendarys.
* Dragonite is the first non-Unova Pokémon to be caught in Unova during the ''Best Wishes'' saga.
* Dragonite is the first fully evolved second evolution Pokémon to be caught in the wild by a main character, and the third one acquired overall at their final stage, the first being [[Dawn's Togekiss]] and [[Ash's Noctowl]].
* Dragonite is currently Iris's only Pokémon to have an unconfirmed gender.

'''Iris's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのカイリュー''' ''Iris's Kairyu'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Iris}} obtained.

==History==
Dragonite first appeared in [[BW089]] where it was rampaging in [[Undella Town]] and was believed to be the cause of a blackout. {{an|Iris}}, who didn't believe that the Dragonite caused the blackout, used her ability to read Dragonite's heart to know what really happened. Later, Iris captured the Dragonite, who wanted to join her.

* Dragonite is the first non-Unova Pokémon to be owned by a character in the ''Best Wishes'' saga, excluding {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Meowth]].
* Dragonite is the first fully evolved second evolution Pokémon to be caught by a main character, and the second one acquired overall at their final stage, the first being [[Dawn's Togekiss]].
* Dragonite's disobedience is similar to those of [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]].
