Trio master

Treecko Gal: /* Trio masters' relation to their trio */

A Pokémon that is a '''trio master''' is one who, in some way, oversees a [[legendary trio]] of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, {{p|Lugia}} is the trio master of the [[legendary birds]]; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when [[Lawrence III]] captures one of them in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, the trio master sometimes will and sometimes will not require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand. In {{v2|Crystal}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} cannot be captured until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been, and in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{p|Regigigas}} will not awaken unless the {{player}} has the [[legendary golems]] in his or her party. {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Arceus}}, however, do not seem to have this requirement, nor does Ho-Oh in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} and {{p|Rayquaza}} in the [[Generation III]] games. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the [[legendary birds]] must all be befriended before the player can enter [[Silver Trench|Lugia's dungeon]], and before encountering Ho-Oh, the three [[legendary beasts]] must contribute their power to create the [[Rainbow Wing]]. In order to get {{p|Ho-Oh}} in {{g|Colosseum}}, the player must first capture and purify all the Shadow Pokémon, which includes the legendary beasts, as one of the two requirements.

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scyther resembles a green, human-sized praying mantis. Its feet have three toes each. Scyther has large, blade-like forearms. It has a pair of cream-colored wings. Its head resembles the head of a reptile as opposed to an insect's head.
====Gender differences====
A female has a bigger abdomen.

====Special abilities====
Scyther's blade-like forearms have the power to {{m|Slash|slice}} through logs with a single blow. Scyther is also gifted with {{m|Agility|tremendous speed}} and can fly on very rare occasions.

Unlike most unevolved Pokémon, Scyther can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. This is likely because it is already a large Pokémon, and was at one time the final (and only) stage in its evolutionary line.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Scyther are often rare Pokémon, appearing only in secluded forests. Some have been imported to [[Kanto]] to live in its [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the Kas and Yas Gyms of Dark Town. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. When [[Team Rocket]] saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]]. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}.

Scyther was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[Luna]] from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a Scizor.

Scyther appeared in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' as a member of Team Razor Wind.

A Scyther was under the ownership of a girl in the in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'' and was partnered with a man's {{p|Koffing}} against {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}}.

==Trivia==
*Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke," a corruption of the word "strike."
*Of the first generation Bug Pokémon, Scyther ties with {{p|Venomoth}} for highest HP, ties with {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Parasect}} for highest Special Defense and has the highest Speed.
*Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
*Scyther, according to the anime episode ''[[EP042|Showdown in Dark City]]'', hates the color red, while its evolved form is completely red.
*Despite having visible teeth and being of the Bug-type, Scyther is unable to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}.

===Origin===
It draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}}. However, its face is more similar to {{wp|dinosaur}}s, {{wp|dragon}}s, or various reptiles.
====Name origin====
Scyther's name is a reference to the scythe-like blades on its forearms. Its Japanese name may just be a reference to its deadly bladed strikes.

'''Uxie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユクシー''' ''Yuxie'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Uxie is the first member of the Sinnoh region's {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon [[legendary trio|trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon with two gray tails that are each encrusted with a red gem. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement up the [[Red Chain]]. Uxie has a partially yellow face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Uxie appears to have a yellow helmet.
Uxie always has its eyes closed due to the fact that it can wipe out the memory of those who look in its eyes.
====Gender differences====
Uxie is genderless.

====Special abilities====
It can wipe out the memory of those whose eyes come in contact with its eyes. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, it is shown that Uxie can also create an illusion. Uxie is also the most intelligent of all Pokémon, having created all knowledge in the Pokémon universe.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Uxie lives in [[Lake Acuity]].

===Diet===

==In the anime==

A Uxie will appear in [[DP133]].

==In the manga==
===In {{g|Special}}===
{{Special|Platinum}} is sent to guard Uxie from [[Team Galactic]]. She was chosen because, fittingly, she is very knowledgeable when compared to the {{p|Mesprit|calm}} {{Special|Diamond}} or the {{p|Azelf|hyper}} {{Special|Pearl}}.

* Uxie is said to be the most intelligent Pokémon in the world.

===Origin===
Uxie is based after a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}} and the color {{wp|yellow}}. Uxie and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Uxie would be the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}}, which embodies wisdom and honesty.

====Name origin====
Uxie's name may be a combination of 行く先 ''yukusaki'', future, 知識 ''chishiki'', knowledge, and {{wp|pixie}}. It could also come from ''you'' and ''pixie''.

Treecko Gal: /* Evidence */

{{ship}}
----
[[Image:AG113 - Drew and May.jpg|220px|thumb|May and Drew]]'''ContestShipping''' (Japanese: '''シュウハル''' ''ShuHaru'') is the name given to the {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] coupling supported by many fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. The name stems from the fact that the pair are rivals who compete against each other in [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
==Evidence==
The following list is a summary of points in the Pokémon Anime that the majority of ContestShippers believe points to possible romantic feelings between Drew and May. Unlike PokéShipping, these points have not yet been debated extensively, and the following summaries can at this point only be considered to be showing how ContestShippers interpret events, not as being a conclusive interpretation agreed upon by all.

* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''
: Drew's second appearance on the television series introduces the recurring theme of Drew giving May roses. Drew hands his rose to May who stares at it in surprise. She blushes and thanks him for the rose to which Drew responds with, "It's not for you, it's for your {{TP|May|Beautifly}}! It looks like the [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]] still has a lot of training to do."

* ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists!]]''
: After May's Beautifly performs its failed {{m|Gust}} and {{m|String Shot}} combination, Drew appears and makes a negative comment about May's ability as a [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]]. He openly flirts with May this time, claiming that he's flattered that she remembered his name and subsequently hands her a second rose. Before he leaves, he warns May to not "get her hopes up." His excuse for coming to talk to her was to see Beautifly, a common excuse at the begining of the series.

* ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]''
: Upon receiving her first ribbon from the Fallarbor Contest, May is congratulated by Drew, who delivers his third rose. Upon receiving it, May asks Drew rather coyly if the rose is for Beautifly again, indicating that she has suspicions as to the true nature of his roses. Drew slightly admits that the roses aren't really for Beautifly as he responds to her question with a dubious "Yeah... Something like that..." Also, near the end of this episode, Drew is seen with a Masquerain, which is a Pokémon that breeds nicely with Beautifly, one of which May has.
[[Image:AG 121 shuu.jpg|Left|200px|thumb|Drew watching out for May in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist!]]'']]
* ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]''
: Amidst May and Drew's conversation, [[Harley]] interrupts and notices that May has received her fourth rose from Drew. He immediately suspects that May and Drew are in love which causes May to blush and protest at Harley's remark. She quickly responds that Drew mostly made fun of her and they were just rivals. After Harley left, Drew quickly walked away in a huff, suspecting that he was disappointed in May's description of him.

: While Harley is talking to May in the background, Drew is seen in the foreground sulking, indicating that he's jealous of Harley. Although his behavior may be passed off as suspicion, Drew makes no apparent efforts to stave May away from Harley's false advice.

* ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''
: While May was following Harley's false advice, Drew constantly watches Harley, and catches him slipping up. Later on, when May apologizes for not going through with Skitty's Assist the whole way, Drew tells her about Harley's plan. Unbelieving, May went face to face with a foiled Harley, who remarked, albeit rather angrily, in turn that "It almost worked too, and you never would have known if your annoying boyfriend over here had kept his trap shut." Neither May nor Drew bothered correcting his statement.

* ''[[AG123|Rhapsody In Drew!]]''
: When May and Drew say their goodbyes at the end of the episode, May blushingly stares after Drew as he walks away down the beach. She barely seems to acknowledge {{Ash}}, [[Brock]], [[Max]], and [[Caroline|her mother]], all who have come over and are standing right next to her.

: While May is talking to her friends and family, May's mother, Caroline, interrupts and teases her daughter about Drew. In response, May overreacts and protests in embarrassment.
[[Image:May101.jpg|Right|200px|thumb|May after being gifted a rose by Drew]]
* ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''
: At the end of the episode following May's defeat to Harley, May receives a letter and a rose from Drew via [[Lilian]] which informs her of another contest where she can again qualify for another ribbon. It is noted that this rose is given an unusual amount of focus during this double-take in which it takes up the entire screen.

* ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]''
: May is holding the rose and the letter she receives in the previous episode while on a boat. She apparently considers these two items as sentimental to her. As May already knows quite well what Drew means with the roses at this point in time now, her keeping and looking at Drew's romantic token that appeared in a prior episode is quite significant.

* ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken!]]''
: It is revealed that the rose and the letter was not sent by Drew but by a rookie coordinator named [[Brianna]]. May teases Drew about the mix-up, rationalizing that it's not her fault for thinking the rose and the letter was from him. Drew gets slightly embarrassed and blushes when his Roselia begins teasing him as well.

: Brianna presses the question if May likes Drew or not. In response, May's behavior becomes cautious and coy as she blushes and reacts sensitively to the idea of her and Drew being a couple.

: After the battle with Brianna and May, Ash asks Drew how he thinks about it, he replies with a "so-so." Brock remarks teasingly with, "Gee, Drew, why don't you tell us how you really feel?"

: [[Jessie]] observes May's affections twice in this episode. She first comments about being in love when talking to Brianna and May. The second time, she's sitting with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} on the beach, commenting and reminiscing on romance. [[James]] and {{MTR}} observe from a distance, confused with her out of character personality.

: At the end of the episode, Drew reminds May that she only has two ribbons left until the Grand Festival in [[Kanto]]. Again, Drew walks off on the beach with May staring after him, blushing.
[[Image:AG 162 haruka.jpg|Right|200px|thumb|May blushes as she stares after Drew while holding an unconscious [[Brianna]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'']]
* ''[[Going for Choke]]''
: When {{Ash}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] fly away with [[Team Rocket]]'s Balloon, Drew follows it and rescues them. When Ash thanks him later, Drew says that he only did it for May, so someone could cheer her on.
: Near the end of the episode, when May talks to her friends, Drew appears again. Ash starts recounting how Drew saved the party only to have May rushing over to Drew without listening to him. Max tells Ash that she didn't hear what he had to say.
: When Drew says goodbye, May whispers his name and smiles as he walks away.

* ''[[AG179|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''
: May meets [[Solidad]], one of Drew's old friends, and talk for a bit. Solidad tells her that she and Drew are close, and talk to each other often. When May asks her what they talk about, Solidad smiles and tells her, "He's the type who never listens to anyone else's advice. So, we end up talking about other coordinators we might've seen in performance, and at some point, he started in on you. ''You'' and only you." Later, Solidad tells May, "He's gotten feelings for you." This left May confused.

* ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''
: At the end of the episode, Solidad gives May a rose from Drew. May runs after him to say goodbye. When Drew leaves, Ash, Brock, Max and Scott show up. May looks quietly while smiling at the rose she had received.

* ''[[AG186|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''
: When May and Drew are talking alone, May says, "I've been thinking a lot about you lately." Drew quickly but calmly replies, "Were they good thoughts?" May quickly responds saying, "Come on, of course they were!" She then continues to talk about their past fondly.
:Near the end of the episode, Drew and May look at the sunset together. They continue to talk until they are interrupted by Harley who discusses the connection between sunsets and romance. May immediately tries to dispute that notion, despite blushing in front of him.

It is also notable that May and Drew are the only two main human characters to actually have seen Wynaut in the flesh on screen.

==Alternate Names==
* '''シュウハル''' ''ShuHaru'' - the Japanese name of the ship.
* '''DAML''' - stands for '''D'''rew '''A'''nd '''M'''ay '''L'''ove.

'''Dawn's Ambipom''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのエテボース''' ''Hikari's Eteboth'') is the only Pokémon to be captured by {{ash}} in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Much later, she was traded to {{an|Dawn}} in exchange for {{AP|Buizel}}. Her Japanese voice actress is 佐藤智恵 ''[[Chie Satō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]]. As an Aipom, she was voiced by 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' in both English and Japanese.

==History==

===With Ash===
[[Image:Ash_aipom.jpg|As an Aipom, wearing a flower crown|thumb|left|190px]]
Aipom was first seen in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', worshipping a giant, mechanical {{p|Slaking}}. However, she also stole [[Ash's hat]], much like [[Ash's Primeape]] did [[EP025|more than 400 episodes before]]. Aipom soon reappeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', after watching {{an|May}} in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Aipom became thrilled with {{pkmn|battle|battling}} and challenged {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} for a battle; as he won, Ash finally {{pkmn2|captured}} her.

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', Aipom became jealous of Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of ''Aipom and Circumstance''; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, {{an|May}} said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 ''Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?''. In [[DP048]], Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', both Aipom and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are referred to as girls, confirming them to be female.

Aipom enjoys participating in {{g|Contest}}s. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with [[Harley]]. Aipom also watched her battle with [[Drew]] before enticing Ash into catching her. In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Aipom entered her first contest with Ash. They got through the [[Appeals round]] but lost the first battle round to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. After the battle, Zoey suggested that Ash should let Dawn raise Aipom. In ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', Aipom entered an unofficial contest under [[Jessie]]'s command and won against [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].

While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her [[Poké Ball]], in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

[[Image:Satoshitoeipam.jpg|Ash and Aipom|thumb|right|190px]]
In order to bring back {{AP|Torkoal}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{TP|Brandon|Registeel}} in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Ash sent Aipom to [[Professor Oak]], where Aipom had trouble adjusting to the new environment and Ash's absence, even attacking the Professor. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he wanted to leave all of his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]]. However, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom defeated [[Paul's Chimchar]] in battle and helped Ash capture his {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}}}. Ash also used her in his first two [[Gym]] battles in the region.

In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Aipom put up a fight against [[Roark]]'s {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}} in Ash's first gym match in [[Sinnoh]], but lost. In their rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', she defeated {{p|Geodude}}. She also fought in Ash's second Gym Battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' as well, going against [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}}, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his {{badge|Forest}}.

===With Dawn===
[[Image:Dawn&Ambipom.jpg|Dawn and Ambipom|thumb|left|190px]]
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Ash began the training for his next Gym battle in [[Veilstone City]]. However, [[Dawn's Buizel]] seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because she tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the {{pkmn|trainer}}s agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Aipom managed to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. [[Brock]] told Dawn that Aipom would evolve soon. Later in the episode, when Dawn was being attacked by a group of {{p|Unown}}, Aipom jumped in front of Dawn to protect her and evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her appeal for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but failed to pass the Appeal Round. [[Zoey]] explained to Dawn that she failed due to an overuse of {{m|Swift}}, blocking {{p|Ambipom}} from view. Ambipom also learned how to break dance, by spinning her tail to make waves of Swift attacks.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her gym battle against [[Maylene]]. She defeated Maylene's {{p|Meditite}}, however she was defeated by [[Maylene's Lucario]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', Dawn once again used Ambipom for the appeal round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. She managed to pass the round by dazzling the judges with {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Double Hit}}.

In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' Dawn used her in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Battle Rounds. Ambipom was able to easily defeat her first two opponents and then went up against [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. Ambipom won the Contest by using combinations of {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Swift}}.

In [[DP123]], Ambipom will be used in a contest in [[Tatsunami Town]].

In [[DP125]], she will enter a Ping Pong competition with Dawn.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP014]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Aipom. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about her: エイパムが　しっぽでつかむ　サトシのハート ''{{tt|Eipam|Aipom}}, it seizes with its tail, Satoshi's heart.''
* For [[DP073]], Professor Oak's lecture is about Dawn's Ambipom. This makes her the first Pokémon character to be the focus of the lecture twice.
* Aipom is one of the few Pokémon on the show to have its gender explicitly stated via dialog multiple times, including the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]''.
* Aipom is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with [[Jessie's Lickitung]] and [[Ash's Butterfree]].
* Aipom shares some similarities with another of Ash's primate Pokémon, {{AP|Primeape}}. Both evolved while not owned by him - Primeape in the wild and Ambipom with Dawn. Both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{AP|hat}}.
* Aipom is the fourth Pokémon to take Ash's hat, after the aforementioned {{AP|Primeape}}, then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Latias}}.
* Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom is the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character.
* Ambipom took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{AP|Chikorita}}. They are both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} as well.
* Ambipom was the first Pokémon belonging to Dawn that evolved, and her first fully evolved Pokémon.
* Ambipom is the second traded Pokémon in the anime to evolve, after [[James's second Weepinbell]].
* Ambipom battled in the first three Gyms of Sinnoh, despite being traded to {{an|Dawn}} before Ash arrived in Veilstone City.
* Aipom was the first of five {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, followed by {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{TP|Ash|Gligar}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} (second if one counts {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}).
* Ambipom, under Dawn's ownership, and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} both evolved quickly from their previous stages. Ambipom spent about five episodes as an Aipom with Dawn while Mamoswine only spent two as a Piloswine.
* Ambipom, along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, another {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, are Dawn's only Pokémon to have never disobeyed her at any point.
* Ambipom is the only Pokémon of Dawn's that shares an English voice actress with her.

'''Ash's Chimchar''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヒコザル''' ''Satoshi's Hikozaru'') is a Pokémon owned by {{Ash}}. Chimchar is voiced by 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]'' in Japanese and [[Bill Rogers]] in English. Chimchar was initially owned by [[Paul]] but joined Ash's team after being released in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.


==History==
===With Paul===
When Paul first saw Chimchar, it was being chased by a group of {{p|Zangoose}}. The situation looked bad for Chimchar but in its stress it pulled off an extremely powerful {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities and so Paul regularly criticized it for being weak. After this incident, Chimchar had a morbid fear of all {{p|Zangoose}}.

Chimchar's first episode was ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' where Paul used it to battle {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}. It fought well but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and where it won against [[Ash's Turtwig]] and ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' where it beat [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} but lost to Roark's {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}}.
[[Image:Ash_chimchar_invite.jpg|left|thumb|Ash adopting Chimchar]]

After losing to [[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the tag battle tournament arc that spanned through ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'', ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' and ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved his Pokémon attacking Chimchar in the hopes of creating the power he had seen before. Ash intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy told Paul it would be unable to battle. However, Paul ignored this warning.

During the next battle against a Zangoose and a {{p|Metagross}}, Chimchar was too scared to make any attack when caught in Zangoose's claws and had to be saved by Turtwig, who was then seriously hurt through Chimchar following Paul's orders. Chimchar made up for this by protecting Turtwig from a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack. Furious at it, Paul refused to give any orders and he simply turned away. Shocked by this, Ash gave Chimchar commands to get them out of the situation before finishing the battle with Turtwig. After the battle, Paul released Chimchar in front of Ash, who then invited it to join him.

===With Ash===
In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched the Pokémon having fun and it kept having flashbacks of when it was still in Paul's possession reflecting on how its former trainer treated it as opposed to how Ash does, after which it cried tears of joy as it was finally treated with patience and kindness by Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, something Paul failed to do as its trainer. In the same episode, Chimchar overcame its morbid fear of Zangoose stated above.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' Ash used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against the [[Veilstone City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Maylene]]. Chimchar battled {{p|Meditite}}, but was recalled after Meditite confused it. It was then sent out against {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} where it fought bravely and caused some damage before being defeated.

[[Image:DP081.png|right|thumb|Chimchar activating Blaze]]

[[DP081|Soon after]] the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash and co. came across Paul. Ash and Paul had an enormous argument at which point an enraged Ash challenged Paul to a battle. Chimchar volunteered to go up against Paul and faced [[Paul's Ursaring]]. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics and Chimchar was pushed to the point of using {{a|Blaze}}. Chimchar easily defeated Ursaring, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash ran up to Chimchar and grabbed it, begging it to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle, biting Ash at one point. Eventually it was embraced by Ash and Chimchar calmed down.

Later in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', when battling [[Team Galactic]], Chimchar protected Pikachu from a {{m|Poison Jab}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight and was later thanked by Ash (after receiving medical treatment). [[Cynthia]] then comforted Chimchar about its past with Paul.

Ash later used Chimchar to battle against {{an|Jun}} in [[DP101]]. Chimchar easily defeated Jun's {{p|Staraptor}} using its superior agility. But, despite a type advantage, Chimchar lost to Jun's {{p|Roserade}}.

In [[DP102]], using Ash's counter-shield strategy, Chimchar defeated [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Drifblim}}, earning Ash his {{Badge|Relic}}.

In [[DP108]], it was used in the battle against [[Byron's Bastiodon]], {{p|Bronzor}} and {{p|Steelix}}. It defeated Bronzor and Steelix, but eventually fell to Bastiodon. This mirrors {{AP|Staravia}}'s previous participation in the [[DP068|third gym]], with it defeating the gym leader's first two Pokemon and losing to their third.

==Moves used==

* {{m|Fire Spin}}
* {{m|Ember}}
* {{m|Fury Swipes}}
* {{m|Pound}}
Italicized moves are ones used most recently.

==Trivia==
* This is Ash's third primate-based [[Pokémon]], the others being {{AP|Primeape}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Unlike the other two, however, Chimchar has not stolen [[Ash's hat]].
* Chimchar is the only one of Ash's {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon that has used a {{type2|Ground}} move, which is {{m|Dig}}.
* Because of his capture of Chimchar, Ash now has owned each Fire-type starter whose English name begins with a C and whose Japanese name begins with a ヒ ''hi'': Charmander, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and Chimchar. Incidentally, Charmander and Chimchar were either abused or abandoned by their former trainers, while Cyndaquil narrowly avoided being captured by [[Koji|a potentially abusive trainer]].
* Fans initially assumed Chimchar to be Paul's [[starter Pokémon]] until it was revealed in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' that Paul's starter Pokémon was actually [[Paul's Torterra|a Turtwig]], possibly in parallel to Ash's.
* For [[DP067]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Chimchar.
* Chimchar is the first of Ash's Pokémon to activate the ability {{a|Blaze}}.
* Chimchar is Ash's fourth Pokémon voiced by [[Megumi Hayashibara]] in Japanese. The other three are {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Phanpy}}.
* Chimchar is also Ash's third Pokémon voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the English dub. The other two are {{AP|Corphish}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}.
* Chimchar's uncontrolled rampage is similar to when {{AP|Pikachu}} was confused from exposure to Team Rocket's electro-magnet, and both Pokémon bit Ash when he was trying to help them.
* Chimchar is the only Pokémon on Ash's [[Sinnoh]] team to not have met any of its evolved forms.
*In the Movie 12 posters, a Monferno is shown alongside Grotle and Piplup, indicating that Chimchar will evolve before the 12th movie is released.

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]], although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.

[[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] was a major character in the movie ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

====Gender differences====
Celebi is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Celebi has the power to travel through time. Celebi can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to {{p|Meganium}}). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Psychic}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Celebi, like {{p|Mew}}, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, despite their awesome power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and guardian of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Celebi anime.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in the anime]]
[[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking the young [[Professor Oak|Sammy Oak]] along with it accidentally. [[Vicious]] eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. {{Ash}} and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

Celebi also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', the Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]] accompanied {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in helping the time traveling Pokémon.

In the beginning of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Celebi is seen in the middle of {{p|Entei}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}}.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Pryce]] aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{Special|Ruby}} is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], to prevent them from ever controlling {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} again. Then, it revived [[Norman]], [[Steven]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Celebi Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
*Unlock all 25 characters
*Unlock all 29 stages
*Beat all 51 events
*Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs.)
It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the [[Poké Ball]] will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon in Brawl as well; the chance of it appearing is decreased to 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just {{m|Fly|flying}} away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: A {{shiny2}} [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Celebi]] is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by [[Dusknoir (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Dusknoir]], the player, partner, and [[Grovyle (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Grovyle]] work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle to the past before, and the trio recieve her help to go back again.

Much like what was the case in the [[Generation I]] games with {{p|Mew}} and [[Mew glitch|a glitch]], Celebi can be obtained in the Pokémon [[Generation II]] games by using the [[Celebi egg trick]].

Celebi is otherwise obtainable only in Nintendo promotional events, historically through a direct trade.

==Trivia==
* Celebi is the mascot of [[Serebii.net]].
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in the [[Johto]] [[Pokérap GS|Pokérap]].
* Celebi is notable as the hardest to obtain Pokémon, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside Japanese games, and even there, they are only obtainable in two games.
* Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}.
* While Celebi has the power of time travel, it cannot control time, a power belonging to {{p|Dialga}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. All of these Pokémon have 100 for all of their base stats.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], the Shiny Celebi is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the main series.
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] by the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and [[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] became a co-star of [[Pokémon 4Ever]] with {{p|Suicune}}.
* Celebi's number in the [[ndex|National Dex]] and the [[jdex|Johto Dex]] are the same: 251. This makes it one of eleven Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing. The others ten are all members of the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ralts}}, and {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary families.
** Of these eleven, Celebi is the only one with the same number in two actual Pokédexes.
*Celebi is the only Pokémon to have a Pokédex entry that is exactly the same in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Other Pokémon either have unique Pokédex entries for Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald or have same Pokédex entries for Ruby and Sapphire but different entries for Emerald.
*Celebi's Generation III back sprite is a recoloured version of its original back sprite.

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}} or {{wp|dryad}}. It may also be based on an Aztec spirit. As for the wings, they might be reminiscent of a flying rainforest-dwelling insect.

====Name origin====
Celebi's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being''. Celebi's Japanese name may be taken to be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''. It may also come from ''{{wp|celery}}'', due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type. It is interesting to note the similarity between "Celebi" and "telebi", the Japanese word for "television". Its name may have even originated from disco artist Celi Bee, and quite possibly, the Spanish word for onion, ''cebolla'', since Celebi's head is shaped and looks slightly like an onion.

===Behavior===
Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.

Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead just climbing up and picking them.

In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeats it in battle, winning {{Ash}} the [[Badge#Balancebadge|Balance Badge]].

A giant Slaking appears in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was really a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.

==In the manga==
In the manga, [[Norman]]'s signature Pokémon is a Slaking, just as in the anime and games.

==In the TCG==

===Sprites===
{{Sprite|
type=normal|
gen=3|

name=Slaking|
}}

==Trivia==
*Slaking has the fifth highest attack of any Pokémon in any game. It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]] and {{p|Marowak}} (only when holding the [[Thick Club]]).
*Slaking has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary Pokémon, though its ability significantly ruins its potential.
*Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it does not lose any of its added speed upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}} and it actually has a higher speed, but its ability makes it slack off.
*In double battles, Slaking's Truant ability can easily be nullified using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.
*Its Diamond and Pearl front sprite depicts it picking its nose with its little finger, however, its back sprite shows it picking its nose with its index finger.

===Origin===
It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a Megatherium, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a gorilla.
====Name origin====
Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king'', and/or possibly just the word slacking. Its Japanese name is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''

Treecko Gal: /* Death */

under 'musical appearences' does Live count as its own entry or do we link to individual songs? Because she was still Meowth's voice in that, and sang in "Best at Being the Worst"

They're both added. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 03:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

==Ketsubans revert==

Just like to say that, as a transsexual person, Ketsuban is correct. Just to put any thoughts Argy may have at rest. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]]

== This Seems Kinda Odd... ==

Why is there an Adult Warning page on Misty and Tracey and [[OrangeShipping]] but there isn't one on a real-life tranny? {{unsigned|Bryce739}}

:I let Pie know that the shipping warnings should have been removed recently, apparently she has to wait for Zhen Lin to return before it can be removed. --[[User:Porygon|Porygon]] 03:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

::Because it only briefly mentions that she's transgendered. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 03:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

:::So what if she's a transgender. What's the big deal? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 04:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

::::That's what I'd like to know. Wikipedia doesn't do anything special to her article there. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 04:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

:::::Not my point at all. I was just comparing. {{unsigned|Bryce739}}

:It's basically because some people take shippings really seriously, so there has to be some sort of disclaimer. After all, we do adhere to NPOV here as much as possible, we're not gonna go out and say something like "anyone who uses Arceus is a cheater" or "Ash is an idiot", except with backed up facts. Since shippings, of course, cannot be proven unless the writers actually decide to focus there, well, there's the warning just in case, especially in cases where there's a homosexual shipping, since there are always more conservative people who'll complain about them, partly for the shipping, partly for the other part.

:As for there being no warning on this page, well... why should we worry that a human being with feelings offends someone with the point of view that she's less of a person because she's transgendered?

so wait, was she born a guy and got her gender switched? im a little confused.

plus, ive seen her credited as Addie Blaustein. Should that be mentioned? [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 23:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:In the '''Biography''' section:

:''"Maddie Blaustein was born on October 9, 1960 in Long Island, New York, USA, as '''Adam John Blaustein'''. She is a male-to-female [[wp:transexualism|transexual]]."''

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'', commonly seen as ''Bashamo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blaziken appears as if it's wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. It has a crest on its head with two points, which resembles a letter "V". It also has long hair behind its head and a small face almost completely covered in feathers. Its strong, muscular legs help it jump up a skyscraper with one kick and with ease. Lastly, it has three fingers on each hand, with what appears to be wristband-like markings on its wrists. These ignite when Blaziken is threatened.

====Gender differences====
A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" is also smaller.

====Special abilities====
It can leap over a {{wp|skyscraper}} with a single jump. It can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, cloaking its feet or fists.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Blaziken-anime.jpg|thumb|Blaziken in the anime]]
{{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} was first seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]''. [[Harrison]] used it to defeat the {{p|Sneasel}} that was blocking access to the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Harrison later used Blaziken in a climatic battle with [[Ash's Charizard]].

Blaziken was also seen in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of [[Rafe]].

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', {{an|May}}'s Combusken evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}. She brought it with her to [[Johto]], and it was one of the Pokémon she used when she returned in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' This Blaziken is also one of the only fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] owned by a main character of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]].

==Trivia==
* On a weight basis, Blaziken is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] final form of a [[starter Pokémon]] weighing 114.6 pounds (52.0 kilograms)
* Blaziken is the third [[Generation III]] Pokémon to appear in the anime (the first being {{p|Kecleon}}, and the second one being {{p|Wynaut}}), and one of the very few Generation III Pokémon to appear before the first episode of [[Advanced Generation series|Advance Generation]]. It is also the only [[starter Pokémon]] to appear in the anime before its generation saga began.
* Blaziken has the highest base {{Stat|Attack}} of all final evolution starter Pokémon.
* Blaziken can learn {{m|Brave Bird}} despite not being of the {{type2|Flying}}, due to being based on a {{wp|chicken}}.
* It has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of the fully evolved {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon|starters]], which is strange because it is said to have very powerful legs.

===Origin===
Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfighting}} chicken. It also bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}}, an Ancient Egyptian Deity with a hawk's head.

====Name origin====
Blaziken's name is a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of ''burst'' or ''burn'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'', a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lohgock
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Brasegali - From ''brazier'' (blaze) and ''{{wp|galliforme}}'', the order of birds that contains chickens.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 번치코 ''Beonchiko''

'''Dawn's Piloswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリイノムー ''' ''Hikari's Inomoo'') was the fifth [[Pokémon]] captured by {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and her sixth Pokémon in all. As a Swinub, it was voiced by [[Tomoe Hanba]] in Japanese, and its English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

[[Image:Dawn&Swinub.jpg|left|thumb|200px|With Dawn, as a Swinub]]

Piloswine's debut was in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' as a {{p|Swinub}}, in which it appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion, and caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s (much to the displeasure of [[team|Dawn's other Pokémon]]), revealing its gluttonous nature. However, after helping to take down [[Team Rocket]], Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her.

In [[DP095]] Swinub watched its first contest when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{g|Contest}}.

Swinub [[evolve]]d into Piloswine in [[DP104]] in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving, Piloswine is still very affectionate towards Dawn, as seen in [[DP105]].

==Moves used==
* {{m|Take Down}}
* {{m|Ice Shard}}
* {{m|Ice Beam}}
* {{m|Dig}}

==Trivia==
*Piloswine, alongside [[Ash's Gliscor]], is the only Pokémon in the parties of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} to be absent from the original [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex]] (though [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] has {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and [[Paul]] owns {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}).
*Piloswine is the first capture Dawn has made since {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, exactly [[DP034|50 episodes before]]. It is also her only capture in which she didn't [[battle]] the Pokémon twice, or even at all.
*Piloswine is the fifth, and most recent, Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]] that is in the party of a member of the main cast during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
*Piloswine is also the second Pokémon that Dawn owns that was introduced in a generation other than the one she was introduced in, after Aipom. Like Aipom, Piloswine has a Generation IV evolved form.

*It's interesting to note that Dawn's best friend, [[Leona]], owns three Swinub of her own.
*Piloswine has some similarities with [[May's Munchlax]]: Swinub loves to eat mass quantities of [[Poffin]]; likewise, May's Munchlax enjoys mass quantities of [[Pokéblock]] (the [[Generation III]] counterpart of the Poffin).
*So far, Piloswine is Dawn's only {{cat|dual-type Pokémon}}.
*Piloswine is Dawn's second evolved Pokémon, the first being {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.
*[[DP104]], the episode in which {{p|Swinub}} evolves into {{p|Piloswine}}, first aired in Japan in the same week that ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'', the episode in which Swinub is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to [[Ash's Gliscor]].
*Piloswine is the first Pokémon in the current saga to appear evolved in an opening prior to its actual evolution being shown. Furthermore, it was as a {{p|Mamoswine}}. Therefore, Piloswine is one of few Pokémon to be owned by a main cast member but not ever appear in an opening in that form.

'''Flaaffy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モココ''' ''Mokoko'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flaaffy has fluffy white wool on its head and neck like a collar. Its body is light pink. It has a black and pink striped pattern on its ears and tail. They resemble lambs, but are able to walk on their hind legs.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Flaaffy's wool functions similar to Mareep's in that they store electricity, however, Flaaffy's wool is more effeicent at storing that energy so that it can store more of it despite having less wool on it's body. They also have rubbery skin to prevent themselves from being electricuted. Unlike Mareep, Flaaffy are able to stand on their hind legs and are able to use their forelimbs to maniuplate things or deliver blows.

===Behavior===
These Pokémon are usually mild-mannered and gentle.
===Habitat===
One is most likely to find Flaaffy in grassy meadows and fields.
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

They are most likely herbivoires.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock'sMarshtomp Flaaffy.jpg|right|thumb|[[Brock's Marshtomp]] with a Flaaffy.]]
In ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', one of the Pokémon [[Molly Hale]] created in her dream world was a Flaaffy.

A Flaaffy belonging to Sullivan appeared in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. This Flaaffy's name was "Hannah".

A Flaaffy also appeared in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'', as the love interest of [[Brock's Marshtomp]].

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
*In Gold/Silver, the orb on the end of a shiny Flaffy's tail was purple. It is now green.
===Origin===
It appears to be based simply on a sheep, although it might borrow its electrical aspect from the way wool builds up static charges.
====Name origin====
Flaaffy's name may be a combination of ''fluffy'' and ''baa'', the sound a [[wp:sheep|sheep]] makes. Its Japanese name could come from 羊毛 ''yōmō'', wool, and a corruption of もこもこ ''mokomoko'', fluffy. Its German name, Waaty, comes from ''watt'' and {{tt|Watte|cotton wool}}. Its French name, Lainergie, comes from {{tt|laine|wool}} and {{tt|énergie|energy}}.

'''Tracey's Marill''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのマリル''' ''Kenji's Maril'') was one of the two [[Pokémon]] owned by [[Tracey Sketchit]] before he met [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. However, it didn't make its debut until ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'', three episodes after Tracey's debut. It was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon to be owned by a main character. Its Japanese voice actress is かない　みか ''[[Mika Kanai]]'' and its English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

Marill helps Tracey as a [[Pokémon Watcher]] as its ears can hear Pokémon from far away and locate where the Pokémon are found. As a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, it can also search through areas of water.

Tracey usually called on Marill to help out in finding one of his friends lost Pokémon or another Pokémon that they happened to be looking for. It also has a strong {{m|Water Gun}} attack which came in useful many times. It even sent [[Team Rocket]] blasting off at one time.

Marill hasn't been seen much since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]]. However, it managed to produce the [[Pokémon egg|egg]] that hatched into [[Misty's Azurill]].

==Trivia==
*Marill is currently the only known Pokémon owned by a main character that produced an egg.
*Due to the above point, Marill may in fact be female.

Misty's Staryu

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was the one of the three original [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Misty]] in the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]''.

Misty uses Staryu often as one of her main attacking Pokémon throughout most of the series. It doesn't seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features, but Misty says she's able to recognize its emotions and feelings. It often shimmered when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glowed pink accompanied by a siren like 'Bing' when it was tired. Despite not having a gender, its cry sounded like a male martial artist exclaiming 'Hiya!'

Staryu was first used to defend [[Mt. Moon]] against an attack by [[Team Rocket]]. Staryu was sent out against {{MTR}}, who was trying to abduct a {{p|Clefairy}}. Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}}. When Ash didn't recognize Staryu, he used his [[PokéDex]] on it; he later commented "Trust a girl to show off her jewelry!". Despite this Staryu was able to beat {{AP|Butterfree}} by {{m|Tackle|tackling}} it into the water.
[[Image:MistyStaryu.gif|left|thumb|Misty commanding her Staryu]]
Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping {{Ashfr|Ash and co.}} escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]], and also later helped the team escape [[James's Gyarados]] along with {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. It also tried to help the gang get to the North Pole along with Goldeen, Starmie and {{AP|Squirtle}}, however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. It would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were now reviving.

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', however, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. Staryu did get a part however, helping provide the rain effect for the final scene. Its media career also included dancing on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices back stage.

Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Staryu's strength was called on in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{oi|Marina}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one {{m|Swift}} attack. It was however thwarted by her much more powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.
[[Image:EP7302.jpg|right|thumb|Misty's Staryu, ready to attack.]]
Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a {{AP|Totodile}}. It battled against his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a {{m|Tackle}} and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battle field. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she hadn't pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.

In what is considered by some as its best battle on screen, Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]] in [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of {{m|Tackle}}s before looping round for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from {{m|BubbleBeam}}, wasn't able to even effect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit.

Despite being one of the oldest Pokémon Misty owns, Staryu is still used, even in recent episodes. It was called on in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until the brother's [[Hitmonchan]] launched a sneak attack on it, knocking it out. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brother's cheating by using that illegal sneak attack. He tried to justify himself but [[Nurse Joy]]'s ruling stood. Staryu was called on once more in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. Misty used it to battle Dr.Yung's mirage Aggron. Staryu began with a direct hit with Bubblebeam, which failed to phase Aggron. It was then struck with a strong {{m|Sandstorm}} attack. Misty then ordered {{m|Water Gun}} to be used, this was countered with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, Staryu was then finished with a volley of {{m|Bullet Seed}}. This appearance happened after Misty had left the main cast and was leader of Cerulean Gym.

Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the [[Orange Islands]] saga. However, after she captured her {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

==In the games==
Staryu was a semi-regular member of Misty's team in the game series, being the first Pokémon sent out in all the [[Generation I]] games (as well as the [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|remakes]]), and a member of her Round One team in Pokemon Stadium.

It was used later to defend against [[Koga]]'s newly evolved {{p|Rhydon}}, however, despite its type advantage, it lost to the stronger opponent.

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Squirtle comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Torrent}}, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Squirtle evolves via level, into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Squirtle in shell.jpg|thumb|left|In its shell|150px]]Squirtle is a bipedal turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small like a {{p|Pikachu}} than to carry its trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

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

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and bubbles, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}} and its evolutions, and it has a type advantage against the first [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]].

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:TheSaffronCon.jpg|thumb|May's Squirtle using {{m|BubbleBeam}}]]
Squirtle was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his first choice of a starter. However, when he arrived at [[Professor Oak|Oak]]'s lab, he found out it was too late, as another trainer who started the same day had already taken it. It wasn't until ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'' that it was revealed that the trainer who took Squirtle was none other than [[Gary Oak]], Ash's [[rival]]. By then, it had already evolved into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.

The first real Squirtle appeared in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''. The [[Squirtle Squad]] were a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their trainers. Ash befriended and captured their [[Ash's Squirtle|leader]], while the rest of them became a firefighting group. Squirtle stayed with Ash until ''[[EP147|The Fire-ring Squad!]]'', when it returned to the Squirtle Squad.

{{an|May}} recieved her own [[May's Wartortle|Squirtle]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. May's Squirtle was very young and timid, until evolving before [[DP078]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three [[Kanto]] starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], {{Tracey}}, [[Delia Ketchum]] and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} stole a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}}.

In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Almond]] owns a Squirtle, who sees him as an older brother.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru's]] starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

[[Ash's Squirtle]] was shown in some chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} also meets an abandoned Squirtle who helps him reach the [[Hidden Village]] after getting lost.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Squirtle Waterfall.jpg|200px|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls as well as {{m|Withdraw}}, in which case he retreats to his shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

==Trivia==
*As a species, Squirtle has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] starters by main anime trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{Gary}} each owning one.
*Squirtle had short appearance in the {{wp|Robot Chicken}} episode Junk in the Trunk, as an animated toy.
*Squirtle is the first {{t|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
*Statistically, Squirtle is the slowest Pokémon out of [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Pokémon, but in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|game]] it is the fastest attacker. It's running speed is on the lower end of the range, and, seeing that Charizard (the fastest according to statistics) is a fast runner (but not walker or attacker), it may be a hint at the stats of the Pokémon.
*In the US T.V show, {{wp|Malcolm in the Middle}}, a Squirtle doll can sometimes be seen sitting on one of the beds, alongside a Charmander doll.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be a cross between a squirrel and a turtle.
====Name origin====
Squirtle's name is a combination of "{{wp|turtle}}", for its turtle-like appearance, and "squirt", which can mean either a verb as in to spray water, or a noun as in a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others. It can also be corruption of "{{wp|squirrel}}", pointing to its squirrel-like tail. ''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.

===In other languages===
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schiggy
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carapuce - ''Carapace'' means shell, and ''puce'' means flea, in reference to its height. ''Puce'' can also be a term of affection, maybe because of its cute look.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬부기 ''Kkobugi'' - Portmanteau of ''kid'' and ''turtle''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 傑尼龜 ''Jíe Ní Gui'' - An onomatopoeic reference to Squirtle's Japanese name, Zenigame. The last character in the name means turtle.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 車厘龜 ''Che Lí Gui'' - possibly cherry turtle as 車厘子 "Chē Lí Zi" is a cherry in cantonese

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

Another Chamander was seen with Professor Oak in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' along with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{P|Squirtle}}. Another was seen in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', along with another
{{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) had a mischievous [[Kai Midorikawa's Charizard|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* In the film {{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in the foreground, wearing a Charmander suit, and another actor, in the background wearing a Pikachu suit, can be seen trying to move away from the ensuing chaos.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon and the first single-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" depicted it as having a small line of spikes running down its back. The spikes were not shown in the sprites in later [[generation]]s. Charmander also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, the spikes were larger and easier to see.
* Charmander is the least seen Kanto starter Pokémon in the anime, only being owned by {{Ash}} (after adopting it) and [[Ritchie]].
*In the US T.V show, {{wp|Malcolm in the Middle}}, a Charmander doll can be seen sitting on the bed in some episodes, along with a Squirtle doll.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamanders}}, which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Fili'' - Derived from English words ''fire'' (파이어) and ''lizard'' (리자드).
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]] (Hong Kong and Taiwan): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' ("little fire dragon")

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. They also dwell in rocky-heated Crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|Ash's Charmander]]
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

Another Chamander was seen with Professor Oak in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' along with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{P|Squirtle}}. Another was seen in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', along with another
{{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) had a mischievous [[Kai Midorikawa's Charizard|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - luring the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio saying the Time Gears were returned, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who finds some interest in the player. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. Celebi manages to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chaot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. 3 days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

==Dungeon Tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.

*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legandaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, only the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊''') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊''') are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - luring the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio saying the Time Gears were returned, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who finds some interest in the player. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. Celebi manages to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chaot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. 3 days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

===Exclusive to Darkness===
*{{p|Beedrill}}
*{{p|Mewtwo}}
* {{p|Burmy}}*
* {{p|Buneary}}
* {{p|Rotom}}
<nowiki>*</nowiki>: {{p|Wormadam}} and {{p|Mothim}} are found in Time.

==Dungeon Tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also {{type2|Fire}}).
*Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender(even the legandaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, only the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start.

==Trivia==
*Tackle in the anime may not be counted as a move one has to learn, because a lot of Pokémon who aren't able to learn Tackle in the games use it in the anime (such as Pikachu in the Kanto series). Tackle, in the anime, may just be an extra command a trainer can give their Pokémon to give a bit more damage to the opponent.

==In other languages==
* Spanish: '''Placaje'''
* Italian: '''Azione'''
* French: '''Charge'''
* German: '''Tackle'''
* Latin American Spanish (anime): '''Embestida'''

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a {{g|Trainer}}. Its universal voice actress is 大谷育江 ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pikachu]]
In the first episode of the {{g|anime}}, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak|Professor Oak's]] laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the {{g|Center}}. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.
 
[[Image:Ashs 1st pokeball.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]], which has a special lightning bolt mark. Ash carries it around but hasn't used it since the very first episode]]In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in battle numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack when Onix was drenched in water, despite Onix being naturally resistant to electricity. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.
Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the [[Diamond & Pearl series]]).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon's]] {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG189|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final Frontier Symbol.

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

In Sinnoh, it defeats Roark's Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch.

Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria City Gym]] battle, where it battled Crasher Wake's Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] a moment to recover.

===Moves used===

*{{m|ThunderShock}}
*{{m|Tackle}}
*''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''
*{{m|Thunder}}
*''{{m|Quick Attack}}''
*{{m|Agility}}
*{{m|Leer}} (used only once while battling {{p|Houndour}} in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]'')
*''{{m|Iron Tail}}''
*''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''

Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.

====Moves improvised====
Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.
 

An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|right|thumb|Ash and Pikachu.]]
*Ash's Pikachu is also the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
*Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].
*For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this {{g|senryū}} about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
*Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a girl who would later travel with Ash.
*Throughout the series the yellowish color of Pikachu has become lighter and Pikachu's body has become more slender.
*Pikachu has never been seen defeating any of {{Gary}}'s Pokémon.
*Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
*Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and lost.
*Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, however, neither Sparky nor Piplup is shown to have complained about being in the ball.
*Ash's Pikachu has only been seen returned to a Poké Ball once, during ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It has only come from a Poké Ball twice, the first time being when it was given to Ash by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', and the second after being cloned in the first movie. {{an|Dawn}} once attempted to capture Pikachu, however, due to it being owned by Ash (and therefore already "marked" by a Poké Ball), she failed.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:Pikachu the Boxer.jpg|thumb|Boxing Pikachu]]Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
*PiPiPi: ''[[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]]'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming {{g|movie}}.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
**Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides transfering a FR/LG Pikachu into Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
*In the 8th Movie, Ash said to Lucario, "...if one of your friends was missing you'd want to bring ''him'' back too..." Upon saying "him" Ash may have been making a reference to his Pikachu's gender.
* There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
** Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** Pikachu has been shown to have a fondness for some feminine items like perfume as seen in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]] relation with Pikachu is one sided meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** Ash's Bayleef's extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

Overall there is more evidence that Pikachu is male. Plus, there aren't many obvious observations concluding that Pikachu is male or female.

(Japanese: '''アオイ''' ''Aoi'') is a recurring character in the {{pkmn|anime}} who first appeared in [[DP088]]. She is voiced by 日野未歩 ''Miho Hino'' in Japanese.

She shares many personality traits with {{Ash}}, including a love of food and sleeping during class. She also developed a fierce rivalry with him, and both battled their respective Pokémon in training, resulting in a tie. Together, they also got reprimanded by Rowan and [[Yūzō|his aide]] several times for being troublemakers, usually because Aoi said or did something to make Ash mad.

Aoi was surprised when she discovered Ash's training style (encouraging a Pokémon after it had attacked him) and quickly adapted it into a form of training with her Monferno which, somewhat like [[Maylene]], involved her dodging Monferno's {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Mach Punch}} attacks.

==Trivia==
*Much like [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], Ash thought Aoi was a boy.
*Her name in Japanese can mean "blue" or "hollyhock".
*Like Ash, Aoi has an {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, Shinx. But whether or not it is her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] is unknown. She also prefers to keep it outside its [[Poké Ball]] much like Ash does with {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*Similar to how Ash's {{AP|Charmeleon}} didn't obey him, Aoi's Monferno at first doesn't obey her and even uses its fire attacks on her.
*She is yet another girl who has a crush on Ash.

==Synopsis==

On their way to participate in the next Pokémon contest, Ash and his friends have come to Alamos Town, where they meet a girl named Alice. Alice guides them around the landmarks of the town - the Space-Time Tower and the beautiful gardens filled with greenery and water, and while they are completely absorbed by the sightseeing, they discover that the gardens have been devastated by someone. Then, Baron Alberto, an influential man of the town, comes on to the scene. Alberto is confident that the devastation is the work of the legendary Pokémon Darkrai. Then, from the ominous shadows, Darkrai suddenly appears before them. A never-before-known Pokémon, just who is Darkrai? Just at that moment, a fierce battle between Dialga and Palkia is unfolding in an interval of space-time. Space-time is torn apart by the collision of terrible energies. Through the tear, Alamos Town can be seen...

The whole of Alamos Town is wrapped in an ominous fog, and a mysterious phenomenon arises where the people are unable to leave the town. Then, Tonio, who has become aware of the abnormal space-time phenomena, hastily analyzes the data, and discovers that the devastation of the garden was a sign that Palkia had entered the town. Palkia, having sustained injuries in its violent fight with Dialga, took refuge in Alamos Town. However, Darkrai senses the presence of Palkia and attacks it, causing a terrible battle. Furthermore, chasing Palkia, Dialga appears in Alamos Town from another dimension. When the two Pokémon called as gods encounter Darkrai, the greatest battle in history will begin. Powerful shockwaves shake all of Alamos Town, and before long the town is on the verge of collapse. The nightmare written in Godey's diary is becoming reality... Will Ash and his friends be able to resolve this crisis? Is Darkrai an enemy or an ally?

==Manga Adaption==

[[image:TRoDarkraiManga.jpg|right]]A manga adaption of the movie was written by [[Ryo Takamisaki]] and released in English in June 2008. The manga consisted of five chapters:

* Strange Happenings Around Town
* The Astonishing Power of Darkrai!!
* The Battle That Warped Space-Time!!
* Clash of the Three Titanic Forces!!
* A Resounding Prayer for Peace
 

== Trivia ==
* This movie premiered in Japan between the episodes ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'' and ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.
* Yuyama Kunihiko travelled to {{wp|Spain}} [[n:Pokémon movie screenwriter visits Spain|together with screenwriter Hideki Sonoda]] and composer Shinji Miyazaki, to various places including the {{wp|Sagrada Família}} and {{wp|Park Güell}} in {{wp|Barcelona}}, to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The design of the Space-Time Tower is based on the Sagrada Família.
** Also, the architect behind the Space-Time Tower is named Godey, and his descendant is named Tonio, both references to the architect of the Sagrada Família, {{wp|Antoni Gaudí}}.
*In the English dub, Darkrai is referred as a he.
* This is the first movie to feature the opening theme of the season ''after'' the one it corresponds to. In other words, despite being the 10th movie, it features a version of the opening theme of the 11th season, [[We Will Be Heroes]]
* Players who had pre-ordered tickets for the Japanese run could receive a {{p|Deoxys}}. In major cinemas, a {{p|Darkrai}} could be downloaded. Instructions on how to get Darkrai were provided before and after the feature presentation by Meowth.
*This is one of the few movies without a human antagonist. The two others are [[Destiny Deoxys]] and [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]].
*In the trailers, Ash is seen flying over a {{p|Pidgeot}}. Many fans believed that [[Ash's Pidgeot]] would return. However, this scene was never in the movie itself.
[[Image:InsideSpaceTimeTower.jpg|Inside the Space-Time Tower|thumb|right|250px]]
*On the wall that features Alicia in the center of the Space-Time Tower, there are many Pokémon and their counterparts on the opposite side of Alicia. They are: Solrock and Lunatone, Dustox and Beautifly, Gallade and Gardevoir, Volbeat and Illumise, Zangoose and Seviper, Electivire and Magmortar, Plusle and Minun, Leafeon and Glaceon, and the two variants of Gastrodon.
* The number of Pokémon debuts in this movie is matched only by [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], [[Spell of the Unown]] and [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]; this is because these are the only movies to follow the beginning of a new generation. With the exception of the first movie (which was released more than two years after [[Generation I]] had debuted), no Pokémon were introduced in any of these three movies that could not be found in the games of the respective generation. Counting the corresponding Pikachu shorts, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' had 22 debuts (of which 3 were [[Generation II]] Pokémon), ''Spell of the Unown'' had 16 and ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'' had 14, or 15 if including {{p|Groudon}} as having a live debut. This movie had 18 debuts within itself, or 20 if considering {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s appearances as their live debuts.
*Five minor characters from other movies make a cameo appearance in this movie:
**A man and his daughter, who were briefly seen with {{p|Aipom}} in the beginning of [[Pokémon Heroes]], are given a similar appearance alongside {{p|Chimecho}} and {{p|Chingling}}.
**A man from [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]], where he sold {{an|May}} her Wishing Star, sold {{an|Dawn}} a [[Lunar Wing]].
** Finally, the mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] were seen buying cotton candy and running away from Darkrai. These two are seen again in [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|the next movie]].
* The following promotional cards were available. Each corresponds to a Pokémon film. The first 11 were bought as a set, complete with a gloss paper folder and protective sleeving, while Darkrai had to be obtained when purchasing a ticket.
:#Counterattacking Mewtwo ('''逆襲のミュウツー''' ''Gyakushū no Myūtsū)
:#Rising Lugia ('''爆誕のルギア''' ''Bakutan no Rugia'')
:#Crystal Tower's Entei ('''結晶塔のエンテイ''' ''Kesshōtō Entei'')

:#Prince of the Sea Manaphy ('''蒼海の王子マナフィ''' ''Umi no Ōji Manafi'')
:#Darkrai Lv. 50 ('''ダークライ Lv.50''' ''Dākurai Lv.50'')
*The opening scenes includes references in a row to all earlier movies:
** It starts of with a fleeing [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|Mew]] that is attacked by a {{an|Mewtwo}} which uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, only to be stopped by Mew by absorbing the attack with a shield (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'').
** Then, a {{an|Lugia}} appears, flying in a {{pkmn|battle}} between {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, and makes the cloudy sky sunny again (''[[The Power of One]]'').
** A large number of [[Unown (Spell of the Unown)|Unown]] appear, and soon, an [[Entei (Spell of the Unown)|Entei]] uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on a Pokémon (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'')...
** ...which actually is a {{an|Celebi}} that soon heals itself, stops the Flamethrower, and flies to the side of a {{an|Suicune}} that roars and jumps (''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'').
** A {{an|Latios}} and {{an|Latias}} then fly across the screen (''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'').
** A giant, angry {{p|Groudon}} comes from an explosion at the ground and roars, waking up a {{an|Jirachi}} that flies away (''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'').
** In the {{wp|ozone layer}}, two {{p|Deoxys}}, both of which are in their Speed forms, flee from {{p|Rayquaza}}, who uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} on a cliff (''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'').
** A {{an|Lucario}} suddenly jumps from the cliff and {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} use {{m|Hyper Beam}} (''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'').
** A {{p|Kyogre}} then makes a majestic jump out of water, being followed by a {{an|Manaphy}}. (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'')
**If these references to previous movies are counted, ''The Rise of Darkrai'' has the most legendary Pokémon in it, with 23, though only three, Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai, are featured.
*A replica of the Alamos Space-Time tower was featured in the museum in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]''.
*Elements and motifs from the previous movies are seen in this movie, including:
**Three trainers present to show off the final evolved forms of their [[starter Pokémon]]. (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'')
**A song to calm the fighting between powerful Pokémon. (''[[The Power of One]]'')
**[[Pokémon battle|Battling]] in [[alternate dimension|another dimension]]. (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'')
**One of the legendary Pokémon dies, but comes back to life by the end of the movie. (''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'')
**Pokémon to human transformation and vice versa. (''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'')
**[[AccordShipping|A romance]] that slowly develops and is later canonized at the end of the story. (''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'')
**Battling within a large town or city and almost destroying it, as well as having a character that uses computer research to forsee the upcoming situation. (''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'')
**Constant flashbacks which serve some importance to the plot. (''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'')
**Solving a riddle. (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'')

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チコリータ''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon. Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of the [[Generation II]] games. It is also available in [[Pokémon Emerald]] as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the [[Hoenn]] Pokédex.

Chikorita comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Overgrow}}, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Chikorita evolves into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Meganium}} starting at Level 32.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Chikorita is a small Pokémon which vaguely resembles a dinosaur. It is primarily a pale leaf green color with large red eyes. Its most distinguishing feature is the large leaf on the top of its head, which is usually longer than the rest of its body. It has a "necklace" of small green buds around its neck.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Chikorita can spawn vines from its neck and create leaves from the big leaf on its head. Like many Grass-type Pokémon, its foliage emits a {{m2|Sweet Scent|sweet odor}} that has calming properties. This leaf also has the ability to check the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.

===Behavior===
Chikorita, like many grass Pokémon, is very docile. It prefers to avoid fights by using the aromatherapeutic properties of the large leaf on its head. It spends most of its time sunbathing, although it is unclear if this is because it needs to photosynthesize, or if it is because Chikorita is coldblooded and needs to warm itself up. It appears to be sensitive to changes in its environment, and can use the leaf on its head to help purify the air around it.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Chikorita are rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium or small forests. They prefer warm temperatures.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:ChikoritaRescue.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Chikorita]]]]
[[Casey's Meganium|Chikorita]] was first seen in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It was {{an|Casey}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]. It evolved into a {{p|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

{{Ash}} captured [[Ash's Bayleef|a Chikorita]] in ''[[EP126|Chikorita Rescue]]''. It has such high affections for Ash that comes to a few faults, such as refusing to be switched out for {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's Chikorita evolved in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''.

[[Vincent]] received a Chikorita as his starter Pokémon as seen in the opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]''.

{{an|Silver}} also owns a Chikorita, as seen in ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''. it behaves much in the same way to him as {{AP|Pikachu}} does to {{Ash}}, including traveling on his shoulder.

A Chikorita was a member of [[Team Go-Getters]] in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

Another Chikorita has appeared in the [[Hearthome Collection]] in [[DP086]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Chikorita is the last of the three starter Pokémon to get a trainer. It escapes from Professor Elm and follows {{Special|Crystal}} until she decides to accept it to her team, where it had to pass a test. Crystal's Chikorita wears a star pendant, formerly owned by {{p|Smoochum}}, who accepted Chikorita when its trainer did. It later evolves into a Bayleef to protect Crys from a {{P|Larvitar}}, then into Meganium during a fight with {{p|Lugia}}. Crys nicknamed it Megapon.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Chikorita unleashes a {{m|Razor Leaf}} that hits any opponent in its path.

Chikorita is also a Pokéfloat. It is one of the smallest and floats around {{p|Psyduck}}.

====Trophy information====
Chikorita was one of the first three Pokémon available in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. A Grass-type Pokémon, it emits a delightful fragrance from the leaves on its head and loves to spend its time leisurely sunbathing. When called into battle, it uses its Razor Leaf move to strike at opponents' weak points.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Chikorita returns to do the same as it did in Melee, unleashing {{m|Razor Leaf}} on release from a Poké Ball. It swings its leaf around violently until the green blades fly directly in front of it for a few seconds.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When the ball hits the button in front of Chikorita on the Ruby Field, it will unleash a Razor Leaf that causes the two {{p|Linoone}} to pop out.

==Trivia==
* The Chikorita family is the only evolution family of a [[starter Pokémon]] to not have their names changed for the English release.
* In the anime, Chikorita has had the most trainers out of the Johto starters. It has been trained by Ash, Casey, Vincent, and {{an|Silver}}. However, Ash is the only one who didn't receive Chikorita as a starter. Currently it is unknown if Chikorita was {{an|Silver}}'s starter Pokémon. Most guess not because of Silver's age.
* Chikorita is the tallest out of the basic form starters at 2 feet 11 inches (0.9 meters)
* Even though it has a 87.5% chance of being male, most Chikorita in the anime are female, including the Chikorita from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon special and Ash's Chikorita.
* Despite Vine Whip being an [[Egg Moves|Egg Move]] for Chikorita, a move which the anime would consider "rare", it appears to be a common attack that all Chikorita can use in the anime.
* Chikorita's {{g|Gold and Silver}} sprites show it having an peach body, this was corrected in {{g|Crystal}}.
===Origin===
Chikorita has similarities to {{wp|sauropod}}s.
====Name origin====
Chikorita's name is derived from ''{{wp|chicory}}'', a flowering plant and ''-ita'' the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young. Its German name is from {{wp|endive}}, a vegetable related to the daisy. Its French name, Germignon, comes from {{tt|germe|germ}} and {{tt|mignon|cute}}.

'''Ash's Sceptile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのジュカイン''' ''Satoshi's Jukain'') was the second [[Pokémon]] caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Its voice actor in Japanese is 上田祐司 ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. As a Treecko, it was voiced by [[Dan Green]] in English. As a Grovyle, it was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and by Bill Rogers ({{PUSA}} dub) in English.

==History==
{{p|Treecko}} was caught in the episode ''[[AG007|Tree's A Crowd!]]'' after Ash helped it in trying to save its old tree home; this event was followed by a battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash caught it as a result of that battle. Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} in the episode ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'' while in the middle of a battle against {{Ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Loudred}}. It evolved into Sceptile in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' in a fight against [[Team Rocket]]. Until ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'', Sceptile lost its ability to use attacks due to a broken heart. It regained its attacks in the above-mentioned episode and was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the next episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]''.

Sceptile has since become one of Ash's most powerful Pokémon, even strong enough to hold its own in battle against certain [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is exceptionally fast and a good jumper. Unlike others of its species, Sceptile keeps a twig in its mouth much like a 番長 ''banchō'', juvenile gang leader, a character type that was common in {{wp|manga}} and {{wp|anime}} in the sixties and early seventies. It is also a bit of a loner, and can often be seen sitting solitary on the branch of a tree, resting or looking at the sky. Both of these habits are carried over from when Sceptile was a Treecko. Despite this, Sceptile is a competitive battler, almost never turning down a fight. Sceptile was one of five Pokémon that Ash took with him on his journey to the [[Battle Frontier]].

Ash left Sceptile at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab before setting off to [[Sinnoh]].

==Moves used==
* {{m|Pound}}
* {{m|Quick Attack}}
* {{m|Slam}}
* {{m|Bullet Seed}}
* {{m|Leaf Blade}}
* {{m|Solarbeam}}
* {{m|Agility}}

==Trivia==
* Treecko was {{Ash}}'s first Pokémon to not know any attacks of its [[Elemental type|type]] when it was captured.
* Treecko was the first of Ash's Pokémon to evolve in Hoenn.
* Sceptile is Ash's first fully evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[Starter Pokémon|starter]].
* Sceptile is the third of Ash's Pokémon to show interest in a Pokémon of a different species (a {{p|Meganium}}). The first was {{AP|Totodile}} who has shown interest in an {{p|Azumarill}} and a {{p|Quagsire}}, and the second was {{AP|Corphish}} who has shown interest in a {{p|Mawile}}.
* [[Ash's Charizard]] and Ash's Sceptile are the only starter Pokémon that {{Ash}} owns that have evolved to its final stage.
* Sceptile is the only one of Ash's {{type2|Grass}} [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* Sceptile is Ash's second lizard-based Pokémon after {{AP|Charizard}}.
* In the Latin-American dub, its {{m|Leaf Blade}} attack is incorrectly called '''{{tt|Hojas Navaja|Razor Leaf}}''', but just by Ash.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Venusaur}} can be seen as a parallel to Sceptile, as both are the final form Grass-type starter Pokémon from the region that co-starred in [[Generation III]] with their owner's home region.
* Sceptile was the second of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to learn {{M|Solarbeam}}, the first being {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.
* Sceptile is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to be featured on two separate TCG cards, once as [[Ash's Treecko ("ADV-P" Promo 36)|a Treecko]], and once as [[Ash's Grovyle (8th Movie Half Deck 1)|a Grovyle]].
* Sceptile learned a new {{type2|Grass}} move in each of its evolutions: Bullet Seed as Treecko, Leaf Blade as Grovyle, and Solarbeam as Sceptile.
*In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' Ash referred to Sceptile as being male. He said, "...''he'' won, and ''he'' lost..."

Cross-canon counterpart

Treecko Gal: /* {{ga|Brendan}}'s counterparts */

[[Image:Game_character_firered.png|thumb|left|Red, the game counterpart to Ash]]
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|Ash, the anime counterpart to Red]]

'''Cross-canon counterparts''' are similar characters that appear in different parts of the [[Pokémon]] canon.

As a franchise with so many different forms of canon, Pokémon is famous for having multiple iterations of the same or similar characters, most of which have basis in the [[Pokémon games|games]]' [[Player character|main]] and [[rival]] characters. The characters in each form of the Pokémon canon which are closely related in their design will most often be recognizable in any of their forms, and may have similar relations to other characters with or without counterparts.

For example, both {{ga|Red}} and {{Ash}} are from [[Pallet Town]], live with their mother, receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]], and begin their journey one step behind their rivals, {{ga|Blue}} and [[Gary Oak|Gary]]. However, Red and Ash do not coexist, nor do Blue and Gary, as they are restricted to their specific canons.

Various other characters have differences between their game and alternate versions, such as [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] in the anime, and [[Wally]] in the Pokémon Special manga. However, they are not truly different enough to be considered as separate individuals.

For example, both {{ga|Red}} and {{Ash}} are from [[Pallet Town]], live with their mother, receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]], and begin their journey one step behind their rivals, {{ga|Blue}} and [[Gary Oak|Gary]]. However, Red and Ash do not coexist, nor do Blue and Gary, as they are restricted to their specific canons.

Various other characters have differences between their game and alternate versions, such as [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] in the anime, and [[Wally]] in the Pokémon Special manga. However, they are not truly different enough to be considered as separate individuals.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time). As of 2008, Arceus is currently the only Pokémon known to fans that has not yet been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Arceus, through use of {{a2|Multitype|its ability}}, can assume any [[type]], though naturally, without any [[plate]] attached, it is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or {{wp|qilin}}. It might have some traces of a Centaur. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes based on Arceus's current type.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]] its type can change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special [[plate]] it holds.

Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
Arceus has not yet appeared in the Pokémon anime, though there are constant rumours that it will appear in the 12th movie.

==In the manga==
Arceus has yet to have an appearance in the manga.

==In the TCG==
Arceus has not made any TCG appearances.

* At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
* In its basic form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, i.e. having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Though Arceus has not been officially revealed, it is possible to use its signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, through {{m|Metronome}}.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, {{m|Judgment}} is always displayed as {{type2|Normal}}.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any attacks that use arms or punches. It is also unable to learn every TM and HM, unlike Mew.
* Arceus's backstory seems to be a retcon of {{p|Mew}}'s - while Mew was earlier purported to be the originator of all Pokémon due to containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon, as well as being able to learn every TM and HM, Arceus's story reveals that Mew was not the first Pokémon, as once thought.
**On the other hand, Mew's D/P Pokédex entry still stated that it's believed to be the originator of all Pokémon, due to possibly containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon and learning every TM/HM, which may also lead credence that Mew's status isn't retconned at all.
*Arceus is the first [[trio master]] only available through an [[event]].

* If the player encounters a Pokémon in the [[Pal Park]] with Arceus at the front of their party, the game will freeze.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus also seems to be an exact mirror of the infamous [[PokéGods]] since the only way to obtain either of them is through the use of cheating devices/secret cheat codes (at present). Both the PokéGods and Arceus are also extremely powerful and both are said to be [[legendary Pokémon]]. The only difference between the PokéGods and Arceus is that the latter is confirmed to be a real Pokémon. Therefore Arceus may be a reference towards them.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Shaymin''' is a major character from ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. It is voiced by 山崎バニラ ''Vanilla Yamazaki'' in Japanese.
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:11thMovieShaymin sky forme.png|thumb|left|Shaymin in its Sky forme.]]In the movie, Shaymin is the Gratitude Pokémon. Shaymin can communicate with telepathy, and a problem of arrogance, ironically, because it is always talking about the gratitude that the people should have towards it. Shaymin also has a habit of running from everything and screaming that it is going to be eaten. Shaymin enjoys annoying Ash and sitting on his head, saying that if it is going to be eaten, it'd like Ash to be eaten as well. Shaymin also often insults Ash, calling him stupid when he cannot answer a question, or doesn't understand something. Shaymin eventually develops a strong bond with Ash and Dawn. Shaymin battles against {{p|Giratina}} and later against [[Zero]], with Ash and {{an|Giratina}}, and they end up defeating him. At the end of the movie, Shaymin decides to remain in a Glacidea, with other Shaymin.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
*Despite not having an in-game gender, Shaymin seems to be female in the movie. Mainly because of its feminine voice.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese, [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English, ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in LA Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Paul appears to feel indifference to [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul does show respect for other characters, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Roark]], and [[Cynthia]].

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:

===On hand===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=500px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:387.png]] → [[Image:388.png]] → [[Image:Spr_4d_389.png]] [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig → Grotle → Torterra]]

| align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:239.png]] → [[Image:125.png]] [[Paul's Electabuzz|Elekid → Electabuzz]]
|-
|}

As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

===Released===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:396.png]] {{p|Starly}} ×3
| align=center | [[Image:234.png]] {{p|Stantler}}
| align=center | [[Image:390.png]] {{AP|Chimchar}}
|}
It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.

Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it accepts happily.

===Given away===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=100px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:184.png]] {{p|Azumarill}}
|}
Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

===Status Unknown===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=250px cellspacing="0"
| align=center | [[Image:291.png]] {{p|Ninjask}}
| align=center | [[Image:022.png]] {{p|Fearow}}
| align=center | [[Image:126.png]] {{p|Magmar}}
|}
Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul was also seen attempting to capture a Fearow in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''. Whether he kept them or even succeeded in catching Fearow is unknown. In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too". Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Fearow is also unknown.

Magmar, Paul's most recently known Pokémon (and possibly Chimchar's replacement). It was added to [[Together]] in [[DP073]], indicating that Paul still retains it, but it has not made an appearance on the show since it was first seen in a flashback of Paul's Gym Battle with [[Maylene]] in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. As Paul's team already consists of six Pokémon, Magmar's status is currently unknown.

==Badges obtained==
====Sinnoh League====
* [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]]
* [[Badge#Cobble Badge|Cobble Badge]]

==Pokémon League==
Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:
*[[Ever Grande Conference]]
*[[Indigo League Conference]]
*[[Silver Conference]]

==Pokémon competitions==
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] (Champion - with {{Ash}})

==Trivia==
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
*At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and another rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point. Also, Silver is known as "The trader" and Paul has been seen giving his Azumarill to another trainer. However, it is unknown if it was actually a trade.
*All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
**{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
**{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and {{TP|Paul|Magmar}} were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.
* Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:
**[[Ash's Pikachu]] has a rivalry with Electabuzz.
**[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.
**[[Ash's Turtwig]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses.
**[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.
**{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's. Paul previously owned several Starly, but released them all.
*Ash and Paul have battled three times. Two of these times, their battle was a draw, but Paul beat Ash in their second battle using {{AP|Chimchar}} against {{AP|Turtwig}}.
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with some rivals, as well:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is in a same fashion as [[Gary's Blastoise]], as they are turtle-based starter Pokémon.
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Gary has a {{p|Fearow}}, which Paul tried to catch in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', but kept getting interrupted by Ash and [[Ash's friends|the gang]].
** The belief that [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]] was Paul's starter Pokémon in its first few episodes is much like the belief that [[Gary's Umbreon]], as an Eevee, was Gary's starter.
** Paul has [[Paul's Weavile|a Weavile]], the evolved form of {{p|Sneasel}}, a Pokémon owned by {{jo|Harrison}}.
** Paul owns [[Paul's Gliscor|a Gliscor]], the evolved form of {{p|Gligar}}, one of [[Morrison]]'s Pokémon.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like [[Gary Oak|Gary]] did until the end of the Johto saga.
** Paul sometimes leaves his reserve Pokémon with his brother for training, much like Gary leaves his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type2|Dark}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darkrai is a black, ghostly creature. It has a small black head with a white substance erupting from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and also has a red growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hang from its shoulders. It has an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place.

====Gender differences====
Darkrai is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Darkrai can trap people in nightmares. It can become a shadow to move quickly, but it is still susceptible to damage in this state. It is also capable of human speech.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.
 

===Behavior===
This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending nightmares. However, in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|10th movie]], Darkrai sacrificed itself to save the city, meaning that perhaps Darkrai has some good in it after all.

{{spoilers}}
[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that.

===Habitat===
Whilst Darkrai isn't nesting in the dreams of humans, it lingers around a lost island called [[Newmoon Island]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Possibly dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares and the ability to learn the move {{M|Dream Eater}}.

==In the anime==
{{an|Darkrai}} co-starred in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the protagonists, taking the task of ceasing the fighting between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} upon itself. In the movie, Darkrai feels that [[Alice]] is trustworthy, whose grandmother [[Alicia]] assisted Darkrai when it was injured. Darkrai even went so far as to save Alice after she fell off a crumbling cliff.

==In the manga==
*Darkrai likewise appeared in the manga adaptation of ''The Rise of Darkrai''.

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

==Other appearances==
====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]====
Darkrai was rumored to be featured as one of the Poké Ball Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] demo at Whobby 2008. However, it was later confirmed to not be in the final version, appearing as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Pokémon Trophies|trophy]] instead.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Darkrai is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie 10 NA Darkrai.JPG|thumb|190px|Darkrai appears on Pokemon.com]]
* Darkrai was officially revealed to Japan in the March 2007 edition of [[Coro Coro]] and to America on January 25th 2008, on [[Pokémon.com]].
* Darkrai is the first Dark-type legendary Pokémon. This is also the first event legendary Pokémon of Generation IV, which can only be received during a Pokémon event or a Nintendo event. However in the Japanese version of Diamond and Pearl, it can be caught through the [[Surf glitch]].
* Despite being classified as a pure Dark-type, Darkrai displays a lot of Ghost-like traits.
* While in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] Darkrai is portrayed as a hero, in the games it's the only Pokémon truly portrayed as evil, in a sense.
* [[Cheating|Cheaters]] can reach Darkrai by using the infamous walk anywhere cheat. If they start at [[Fullmoon Island]] and walk across the water to the right, they will reach [[Newmoon Island]]. Between these islands is the [[Mystery Zone]]. From the island, they can simply take a boat back to [[Canalave City]].
* The boy of the sailor who owns the boat that normally goes to [[Iron Island]] says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' He probably means Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]: When the player takes the [[Member's Card]] to the Canalave Inn, the innkeeper (presumably a shade of Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival. The player then falls asleep at the inn, only to 'awaken' at an abandoned Newmoon Island, where Darkrai must be caught or defeated in order for the player to awaken from their nightmare and 'return' to the inn.
* There were [[event|events]] giving away Darkrai through [[Mystery Gift]] that were held at participating theaters in Japan when Movie 10 was first released and also in some Toys "R" Us Stores in the United States from May 31 to June 1, 2008. These special edition Darkrai were contained in a [[Poké Ball#Generation IV Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]], with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''えいがかん''' ''Movie Theatre'' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''07147''' for the Japanese version and with the OT of [[Alamos Town|ALAMOS]] and an ID No. of 05318 for the American version. They were also holding an {{b|Enigma}} and had the normally unobtainable moves, {{m|Roar of Time}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* Darkrai can also be obtained from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. It has {{m|Dark Void}} at level 50.
* As of yet, Darkrai is one of five Pokémon who were available on video games before having a set location, the others being {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], it is rumored that Darkrai lost all of its memory when {{p|Palkia}} used {{m|Spacial Rend}} in [[Dark Crater]], thus turning it into a better Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Darkrai is referred to as being male, despite not actually having a gender in the games.
===Origin===
Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It also resembles a {{wp|shadow}}.
====Name origin====
Darkrai's name is a combination of the word ''dark'' and the Japanese word for "dark" (暗い''kurai''). It may also be an African word that ironically means happiness.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod as it stands upright. Although it possesses wings, it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls reside. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is genderless.
====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats.

Palkia's powers can be magnified with the [[Lustrous Orb]].

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in the gaps of space which are aligned in parallel."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia Movie10.JPG|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in the tenth Pokémon [[Movies|Movie]] along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with {{an|Dialga}} and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

Palkia was shown in one of the [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|eleventh movie]] posters. However, it never actually appeared in the movie.

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Palkia also makes a cameo in the [[Together]] and [[Diamond and Pearl (song)|Diamond and Pearl]] openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (The last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It'll often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Trivia==
* Palkia is one of the Pokémon created by {{p|Arceus}}. The other is {{p|Dialga}}.
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2007.
* Palkia has a footprint that is the same shape as crowns traditionally worn by queens. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} have the same type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Chatot}}, has a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Pearl in several languages starts with "P", like Palkia.

===Origin===
Palkia is based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

'''Manaphy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マナフィ''' ''Manaphy'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, first appearing in [[Generation IV]]. Manaphy is not directly obtainable in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].

Manaphy's [[ability]] is {{a|Hydration}}, which heals a [[status effect]] when Manaphy is in play during [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]].

It is comparable to {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}, but more so to {{p|Mew}}, both for its place in the regional Pokédex list, identical base stats and its inability to be caught during normal gameplay. Unlike them, however, Manaphy is not a {{type2|Psychic}}; it also has the unprecedented ability to breed, though the offspring is a {{p|Phione}}. Interestingly, Manaphy is joined by {{p|Shaymin}} this generation, which is not a Psychic-type Pokémon either. Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], but not the [[Generation IV]] National Dex.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon. It has stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. Manaphy has a red gem on its chest. Manaphy has a round head with a pair of long blue antennae. Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water and is highly susceptible to its environment. One of these reactions is that when Manaphy reproduces in an ocean that's warmer than those that they are native to, the child will be a {{P|Phione}} as opposed to another Manaphy.
====Gender differences====
Manaphy is genderless.
====Special abilities====
Due to Manaphy's high water content in its body, it can heal itself whenever its raining. Manaphy can control water and focus them into attacks such as {{M|Water Pulse}} and {{M|BubbleBeam}}. Manaphy can also switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other, by using its [[signature move]], {{m|Heart Swap}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the [[Fiore]] region, but cannot hatch there, instead only being able to be hatched in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Strangely, all eggs Manaphy produces in Sinnoh hatch into {{p|Phione}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Manaphy movie.jpg|right|220px|thumb|{{an|Manaphy}} riding on a {{p|Lapras}}]]
{{an|Manaphy}} is the star of the ninth movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It is initially an egg that an evil gang wants to steal. Manaphy hatches in {{an|May}}'s hands and helps the People of the Water to find the Sea Temple. It is known as the Prince of the Sea.

Manaphy also makes a cameo in [[Together]] and in [[We Will Be Heroes]].

==In the manga==
In the manga "[[Pokémon Ranger, the Comic]]" (from the creators of [[Pokémon Adventures]]), [[Cameron]] from [[Summerland]] found Manaphy's Egg on Fiore's Sea, then it was stolen by the [[Go-Rock Squad]] who wanted to use its enormous powers for bad purposes when it hatched. This plan failed when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] saved the egg and it was given to [[Prof. Hastings]]'s granddaughter who lives in [[Sinnoh]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:Manaphy Brawl.jpg|thumb|Manaphy on Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Manaphy uses a {{m|Heart Swap}} which switches the body of the user with another player. KO's still count for the original player.

==Trivia==
* Manaphy's English name was uncovered with the name of [[Sinnoh]] within the internal data of [[Pokémon Ranger]] on November 2, 2006.
* {{p|Jirachi}}, Manaphy, and {{p|Phione}} are the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to have not been given an in-game location in the [[main series]] as of yet.
* Manaphy is also the only event Pokémon to date that debuted in a [[Pokémon Ranger|spin-off game]] rather than in the main series.
* Manaphy is actually lighter and shorter than {{p|Phione}}.
* Manaphy and {{p|Ditto}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed and unobtainable through breeding.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Manaphy is constantly referred to as a male.

===Origin===
Manaphy may be based upon {{wp|sea angel}}s, tiny transparent ocean mollusks that look like ocean fairies and possess pairs of flexible tentacles they use to feed.
====Name origin====
Manaphy's name may be based on ''{{wp|manatee}}'', the name of a water-dwelling mammal. It could also be a combination of {{wp|mana}} and {{wp|clione}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Manaphy
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Manaphy
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마나피 ''Manaphy''

==Events==
Manaphy is one of the event-only Pokémon.
* The code to unlock the Manaphy mission in the North American version of {{g|Ranger}} is <code>P8M2-9D6F-43H7</code>, while in the European version, it is <code>Mg35-Cpb8-4FW8</code>.
* There was an [[event]] giving away Manaphy through [[Mystery Gift]] that was held at {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} on September 29, 2007. This special edition Manaphy was contained in a Cherish Ball, with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''TRU''' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''09297'''. It was also holding a [[Red Scarf]], most likely a reference to May's scarf in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]].
* There was an Australian [[event]] giving away level 50 Manaphy through [[Mystery Gift]] that was held at {{wp|JB Hi-Fi}}. This special edition Manaphy was contained in a Cherish Ball, with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''JBHF''' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''11077'''. It was also holding a [[Red Scarf]].
* A Manaphy egg will also be transferable from [[Pokémon Ranger Batonnage]].

'''Ash's Buizel''' (Japanese: '''サトシのブイゼル''' ''Satoshi's Buoysel'') is the fourth [[Pokémon]] captured by {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]''. His voice actor in both Japanese and English is 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]''.
==History==
===With Dawn===
[[Image:Ash'sBuizel.jpg|left|thumb|Buizel's first appearance]]
Buizel has a vastly different type of personality than Dawn's other Pokémon. He purposely looks for {{pkmn|battle}}s with [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers']] Pokémon and loves to show off his amazing strength. He first took out [[Dawn's Piplup]], then [[Zoey's Glameow]], and finally [[Ash's Pikachu]] by using his incredible speed and moves like {{m|Aqua Jet}}. He showed bitterness towards humans, but gained respect for Dawn after she saved him from a nasty fall. Afterwards, Buizel found her worthy enough for a second battle, where she was able to capture him.

Since then, though, he still gets along poorly with most other Pokémon. In particular, he seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Brock's Croagunk]]. However, they may have started to get along with each other as they are with each other in [[DP065]] while the others play.
 
Buizel caused a degree of controversy in the Pokémon community, as many had hoped that he would belong to {{Ash}} instead of Dawn. One of the more common reasonings for this was that Ash had not yet captured a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, and Dawn had her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} already. But then...

===With Ash===
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Dawn began the Contest training for the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}; however, Buizel seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set its mind on Dawn's training. Meanwhile [[Dawn's Aipom|Ash's Aipom]] appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because it tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then [[Zoey]] proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the trainers agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', during a battle between Ash and Dawn, Buizel's {{m|SonicBoom}} was deflected by Aipom, hitting a stone tower and freeing a {{p|Spiritomb}}.

In [[DP068]], he fought [[Maylene's Lucario]] in a Gym Battle, resulting in a Double KO and a tied match. During the battle, Buizel learned {{m|Water Pulse}}.

In a [[DP077]] and [[DP078]], Buizel participated in his first contest-style competition, as Ash's entry for the Wallace Cup. Buizel succeeded in the appeal rounds due to a dazzling combination of [[Aqua Jet]], [[Water Gun]], and the utilization of his inflatable tube around its neck, but lost in the second round of battles. He has perfected an {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Aqua Jet}} combination that Dawn had tried to teach it in [[DP041|an earlier episode]].

==Moves used==
*{{m|Water Gun}}
*{{m|Aqua Jet}}
*{{m|SonicBoom}}
*{{m|Water Pulse}}


==Trivia==
* Buizel is the sixth Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. In some cases, this may be a result of the writers deciding a Pokémon works well with the group after they are shown together. Ash's Buizel comes after ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. Others include (in movie order):
** [[Ash's Donphan]] coming after ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''
** [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]] after ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'' (the Mew in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' also takes an Aipom form while playing with Pikachu and the other Pokémon)
** [[May's Munchlax]] after ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''
** [[James's Mime Jr.]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Brock's Bonsly]] after ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
** Although not one of the main character's Pokémon, [[Paul's Honchkrow|Paul's Murkrow]] evolved into {{p|Honchkrow}} after ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
[[Image:Dawn's Buizel.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Ash's Buizel]]
* In his entire time as one of Dawn's Pokémon, Buizel never actually participated in a contest.
** Ironically, while under the care of Ash he finally participated in his first contest in [[DP077]].
* While Buizel may have a rivalry with [[Brock's Croagunk]], [[Brock's Sudowoodo]] seems to admire Buizel and even follows him around and tries to mimic what he does.
* Buizel is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with [[Ash's Butterfree]], [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] and [[Jessie's Lickitung]].
* Buizel is Ash's second Pokémon received in a trade (the first is {{p|Raticate}}) and the first not to be traded back in the same episode.
* Buizel along with [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] are the first two Pokémon to be traded between main characters. Coincidentally, both are in the {{egg3|Ground}} and of opposite genders, and both use their Japanese voice actors in the English dub whilst in their unevolved forms. Whether this will be true for {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} or if Buizel evolves is unknown.
* Buizel is Ash's first {{wp|Mammal|mammalian}} {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
 
[[Image:BibaralError.jpg|thumb|right|The constant error.]]
* A constant error that occurs with Buizel is that his eyes briefly turn the same colour as his Water Gun. This is almost always seen when Buizel uses Water Gun up close.

ContestShipping

2008-06-10T16:43:25Z

Treecko Gal: /* Evidence */

{{ship}}

'''ContestShipping''' (Japanese: '''シュウハル''' ''ShuHaru'') is the name given to the [[May (anime)|May]]/[[Drew]] coupling supported by fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is considered by many to be the most obvious pairing in the anime, aside from [[Shipping:PokéShipping|PokéShipping]]. The name, ContestShipping, stems from the fact that the pair, May and Drew, are rivals that compete against each other in [[Pokémon Contests]].

= Evidence =
[[Image:AG113 - Drew and May.jpg|Right|200px|thumb|May and Drew in [[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]]]
The following list is a summary of points in the Pokémon Anime that the majority of ContestShippers believe points to possible romantic feelings between Drew and May. Unlike PokéShipping, these points have not yet been debated extensively, and the following summaries can at this point only be considered to be showing how ContestShippers interpret events, not as being a conclusive interpretation agreed upon by all.

* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''
: Drew's second appearance on the television series introduces the recurring theme of Drew giving May roses. Drew hands his rose to May who stares at it in surprise. She blushes and thanks him for the rose to which Drew responds with, "It's not for you, it's for your [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]]! It looks like the [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]] still has a lot of training to do."

* ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists!]]''
: After May's Beautifly performs its failed {{m|Gust}} and {{m|String Shot}} combination, Drew appears and makes a negative comment about May's ability as a [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]]. He openly flirts with May this time, claiming that he's flattered that she remembered his name and subsequently hands her a second rose. Before he leaves, he warns May to not "get her hopes up." His excuse for coming to talk to her was to see Beautifly.

* ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]''
: Upon receiving her first ribbon from the Fallarbor Contest, May is congratulated by Drew, who delivers his third rose. Upon receiving it, May asks Drew rather coyly if the rose is for Beautifly again, indicating that she has suspicions as to the true nature of his roses. Drew slightly admits that the roses aren't really for Beautifly as he responds to her question with a dubious "Yeah... Something like that..." Also, near the end of this episode, Drew is seen with a Masquerain, which is a Pokémon that breeds nicely with Beautifly, one of which May has.

* ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]''
: Amidst May and Drew's conversation, [[Harley]] interrupts and notices that May has received her fourth rose from Drew. He immediately suspects that May and Drew are in love which causes May to blush and protest at Harley's remark.

: While Harley is talking to May in the background, Drew is seen in the foreground sulking, indicating that he's jealous of Harley. Although his behavior may be passed off as suspicion, Drew makes no apparent efforts to stave May away from Harley's false advice.

[[Image:AG 121 shuu.jpg|Left|200px|thumb|A jealous Drew featured in [[AG122|Deceit and Assist!]]]]
* ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''
: While May was following Harley's false advice, Drew constantly watches Harley, and catches him slipping up. Later on, when May apologizes for not going through with Skitty's Assist the whole way, Drew tells her about Harley's plan. Unbelieving, May went face to face with a foiled Harley, who remarked, albeit rather angrily, in turn that "It almost worked too, and you never would have known if your annoying boyfriend over here had kept his trap shut." Neither May nor Drew bothered correcting his statement.

* ''[[AG123|Rhapsody In Drew!]]''
: When May and Drew say their goodbyes at the end of the episode, May blushingly stares after Drew as he walks away down the beach. She barely seems to acknowledge [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Brock]], [[Max]], and [[Caroline|her mother]], all who have come over and are standing right next to her.

: While May is talking to her friends and family, May's mother, Caroline, interrupts and teases her daughter about Drew. In response, May overreacts and protests in embarrassment.

* ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''
: At the end of the episode following May's defeat to Harley, May receives a letter and a rose from Drew via [[Lilian]] which informs her of another contest where she can again qualify for another ribbon. It is noted that this rose is given an unusual amount of focus during this double-take in which it takes up the entire screen.

* ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]''
: May is holding the rose and the letter she receives in the previous episode while on a boat. She apparently considers these two items as sentimental to her. As May already knows quite well what Drew means with the roses at this point in time now, her keeping and looking at Drew's romantic token that appeared in a prior episode is quite significant.

* ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken!]]''
: At the beginning of the episode Ash is practing with his Sceptile who as recently been unable to preform any attacks. Then, Drew makes his appearence, giving Ash advice on broken hearts. Drew has already battled Ash (for May's affection is the common belief of contestshippers) and this could be another way of drew humiliating Ash to May feel in love to him.

[[Image:AG 162 haruka.jpg|Right|200px|thumb|May blushes as she stares after Drew while holding an unconscious [[Brianna]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''.]]
: It is revealed that the rose and the letter was not sent by Drew but by a rookie coordinator named [[Brianna]]. May teases Drew about the mix-up, rationalizing that it's not her fault for thinking the rose and the letter was from him. Drew gets slightly embarrassed and blushes when his [[Drew's Roserade|Roselia]] begins teasing him as well.

: Brianna presses the question if May likes Drew or not. In response, May's behavior becomes cautious and coy as she blushes, obviously sensitive to the idea of her and Drew being a couple.

: After the battle with Brianna and May, Ash asks Drew how he thinks about it, he replies with a 'so-so'. Brock remarks, "Gee, Drew, why don't you tell us how you really feel?"

: [[Jessie]] is made to notice May's love life twice in this episode. She first comments about young love when talking to Brianna and May. The second time, she's sitting with [[James's Mime Jr.|Mime Jr.]] on the beach, commenting and reminiscing on young love. [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] observe from a distance, confused with her out of character personality.

: At the end of the episode, Drew reminds May that she only has two ribbons left until the Grand Festival in [[Kanto]]. Again, Drew walks off on the beach with May staring after him, blushing.

* ''[[AG179|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''
: May meets [[Solidad]], one of Drew's old friends, and talk for a bit. Solidad tells her that she and Drew are close, and talk to each other often. When May asks her what they talk about, Solidad smiles and tells her, "He's the type who never listens to anyone else's advice. So, we end up talking about other coordinators we might've seen in performance, and at some point, he started in on you. ''You'' and only you." She was talking about Drew. Later, Solidad tells May, "He's gotten feelings for you." This left May confused.

* ''[[AG186|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing !]]''
: In this episode Drew shows up to help cheer May up. When the two are talking alone, May says, "I've been thinking a lot about you lately." Drew quickly, but calmly, replies, "Were they good thoughts?" May quickly responds saying, "Yes, of course they were!" She then continues to talk about their past in a fond manner.
:Near the end of the episode, Drew and May are seen watching the sunset. It gives the impression that they were talking for a long time and they continue to talk in a fond way until they are interrupted by Harley. When Harley seems to observe that they liked each other, May immediately tries to deny it. Both Drew and Harley reveal that they will be entering the contests in [[Johto]].

ContestShipping

2008-06-10T16:42:44Z

Treecko Gal: /* Evidence */

{{ship}}

'''ContestShipping''' (Japanese: '''シュウハル''' ''ShuHaru'') is the name given to the [[May (anime)|May]]/[[Drew]] coupling supported by fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is considered by many to be the most obvious pairing in the anime, aside from [[Shipping:PokéShipping|PokéShipping]]. The name, ContestShipping, stems from the fact that the pair, May and Drew, are rivals that compete against each other in [[Pokémon Contests]].

= Evidence =
[[Image:AG113 - Drew and May.jpg|Right|200px|thumb|May and Drew in [[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]]]
The following list is a summary of points in the Pokémon Anime that the majority of ContestShippers believe points to possible romantic feelings between Drew and May. Unlike PokéShipping, these points have not yet been debated extensively, and the following summaries can at this point only be considered to be showing how ContestShippers interpret events, not as being a conclusive interpretation agreed upon by all.

* ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''
: Drew's second appearance on the television series introduces the recurring theme of Drew giving May roses. Drew hands his rose to May who stares at it in surprise. She blushes and thanks him for the rose to which Drew responds with, "It's not for you, it's for your [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]]! It looks like the [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]] still has a lot of training to do."

* ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists!]]''
: After May's Beautifly performs its failed {{m|Gust}} and {{m|String Shot}} combination, Drew appears and makes a negative comment about May's ability as a [[Pokémon Coordinator|coordinator]]. He openly flirts with May this time, claiming that he's flattered that she remembered his name and subsequently hands her a second rose. Before he leaves, he warns May to not "get her hopes up." His excuse for coming to talk to her was to see Beautifly.

* ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]''
: Upon receiving her first ribbon from the Fallarbor Contest, May is congratulated by Drew, who delivers his third rose. Upon receiving it, May asks Drew rather coyly if the rose is for Beautifly again, indicating that she has suspicions as to the true nature of his roses. Drew slightly admits that the roses aren't really for Beautifly as he responds to her question with a dubious "Yeah... Something like that..." Also, near the end of this episode, Drew is seen with a Masquerain, which is a Pokémon that breeds nicely with Beautifly, one of which May has.

* ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]''
: Amidst May and Drew's conversation, [[Harley]] interrupts and notices that May has received her fourth rose from Drew. He immediately suspects that May and Drew are in love which causes May to blush and protest at Harley's remark.

: While Harley is talking to May in the background, Drew is seen in the foreground sulking, indicating that he's jealous of Harley. Although his behavior may be passed off as suspicion, Drew makes no apparent efforts to stave May away from Harley's false advice.

[[Image:AG 121 shuu.jpg|Left|200px|thumb|A jealous Drew featured in [[AG122|Deceit and Assist!]]]]
* ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''
: While May was following Harley's false advice, Drew constantly watches Harley, and catches him slipping up. Later on, when May apologizes for not going through with Skitty's Assist the whole way, Drew tells her about Harley's plan. Unbelieving, May went face to face with a foiled Harley, who remarked, albeit rather angrily, in turn that "It almost worked too, and you never would have known if your annoying boyfriend over here had kept his trap shut." Neither May nor Drew bothered correcting his statement.

* ''[[AG123|Rhapsody In Drew!]]''
: When May and Drew say their goodbyes at the end of the episode, May blushingly stares after Drew as he walks away down the beach. She barely seems to acknowledge [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Brock]], [[Max]], and [[Caroline|her mother]], all who have come over and are standing right next to her.

PenguinShipping

2008-06-09T16:35:01Z

Treecko Gal:

{{ship}}

'''PenguinShipping''' is the belief of a romantic relationship between [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] and [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]]. Kenny and Dawn are childhood friends and are also rivals. This shipping is called PenguinShipping due to the fact that both of them have members of the {{p|Piplup}} evolution family.

==Hints==
[[Image:444.JPG|200px|left|thumb|Kenny blushing]][[Image:Penguinshipping.JPG|right|thumb|200px|Dawn flirting with Kenny]]

Even thought there are not many hints (as Kenny only appeared in 4 episodes), it has been shown that he and Dawn are very close to each other. Kenny even calls Dawn '''Dee-Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'').

Another incident which can be considered as a hint is in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]''. When Kenny sees Dawn in her contest dress he is momentarily speechless. She starts flirting with Kenny and asks him if he thinks she's pretty to which he blushes and hastily tries to change the subject.

In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'', Kenny seemed jealous of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and Dawn being together.

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unknown]]'' when Dawn was being lifted into the ruins due to the confused Unown, Kenny worriedly called out her name. Again, when Dawn was falling, Kenny once again called out her name worriedly. He is the only one who did this on both occasions.
Towards the end of the episode, he wanted to make sure that Dawn didn't find out how scared he was in the ruins. Perhaps not wanting her to make fun of him.

Its Japanese voice actress is 大谷育江 ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]'' (半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' from [[AG161]] to [[AG175]]) and its English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]] (during her leave [[Michele Knotz]] voiced it).

Mime Jr. took an instant liking to James, keeping him companion 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.

GymShipping

2008-04-28T17:37:02Z

Treecko Gal: /* Similaries/Coicidences */

{{cleanup}}
{{ship}}
One of the earliest ships in the Pokémon fandom was '''Gymshipping''', (Japanese: '''タケカス''' ''TakeKasu'') the belief in romance between the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Misty]], and the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader, [[Brock]].

==Hints in the anime==

===The Indigo League===

The two characters first met in the episode "Showdown at Pewter City" In comparison to the introduction Brock has with May and Max, his first meeting with Misty was quite sublte, with him reffering to her as 'that girl' whilst Ash runs off in an attempt to lose her. It is unknown whether or not Brock knew of Misty's position as a Gym Leader, during his conversation with Ash it appears he knows the special attacks the Gym Leader possess, but out of respect for the Cerulean Gym Leader gives Ash no further information. Interestingly enough, he reffered to the Cerulean Gym Leader as a 'he' and incidently disappears for a great proportion of the episodes whilst Ash battled Misty. To this day it is unknown where he went and actually did, though people have come up with numerous theories. One such response was that he was simply buying supplies (i.e potions and antidotes) though this raises the question of why he was so secretive about it.In any case, Brock and Misty soon develop a strong friendship.

In the episode "[[The School of Hard Knocks]]", when Ash and Brock fall in love with [[Giselle]], Misty gets mad. Some say that she was jealous because of Brock, but others say that was because of Ash.

The idea of the two in a romantic relationship generally arose from the episode entitled "Mystery in the Lighthouse". In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance. She accepts, and so they waltz against the music made a by a large and (then) mysterious Pokémon.

Generally speaking, there are no 'hints' or 'evidence' indicating with 100% certainty that either Misty or Brock has/had feelings for the other. However, there are quite a few moments involving the two whom Gymshippers like, many of these moments arising from the fact that both characters in general had a greater awareness, as well as interest (Brock particularly) in romance than Ash.

An example of this was in the episode entitled "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak". Brock becomes infatuated with a maiden he sees, and when an old lady explains that the Maiden is a ghost who harms men who cross her path, Misty misinteprets, exclaiming "I must be the beautiful girl, but I'd never hurt Brock!"

Brock was initially more subtle in his romantic feelings, and this lead to a humerous situation in "Bulbasaur and the Hidden village" where Misty would continously tease Brock about his feelings for Melanie, right until the end of the episode where she asks "So, Brock, how'd you tell Melanie you loved her? Did you kiss her goodbye?" resulting in him trying to keep her quiet. His bevahiour soon changes as the series progresses, though his interest in girls has remained the same ever since.

Another humerous situation occured whilst Ash was competing in the Indigo league against Janet. Brock, infatatued once again, wishes for Janet to win, resulting in Misty having remind him (by screaming) that they're supposed to be both cheering for Ash.

As stated earlier, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that they have/had romantic feelings for each other. Indeed, in the episode "Make room for gloom' Misty doesn't appear to be disturbed by the thought of Brock with Florinda (though this is the only time she has reamined so indifferent to Brock's lovelife, and eventually it is revealled that Florinda has feelings for Potter) . However, there are times in which they've been stunned by each other's appeance. During the Indigo League, it is Brock who is stunned a couple of times. Interestingly enough, whenever Misty has been shown in differnt clothing he has never actually commented. For example, in the episode "Beauty and the Beach" he simply stares and smiles (perhaps a smirk) when Misty arrives wearing her bikina. Also, in "The March of the Exeggutor Squad" whilst Ash comments (in the dub at least) that her dress is cute, Brock meanwhile says nothing (eating popcorn as well as stares when he sees Misty wearing a kimono in the episode "Princess vs. Princess". More notably, Brock blushes at the image of a girl in a mermaid constume in "The Misty mermaid" As the title suggests, it is Misty who ends up wearing the Mermaid costume. Interestingly enough, Brock doesn't appear to be too dissapointed when he finds out the role is to be filled by her. In addition, when Ash sugests that the Mermaid on the poster looks like Misty (whilst Brock is still gawking) she bears a expresion on her face which can best be said to be embarrassment.

Shippers also have noted a common occurance whereby Misty and Brock are left together. Though a more common occurance during the Johto League, a notable instance of this happening is in the episode "Snow Way Out". After the snow storm, Ash finds out that Brock and Misty found a hot spring, with Misty saying (whilst blushing) "You can't believe how comfy we were!". This also occurs when they both leave Ash to go windsurfing in "The Evolution Solution".

===The Orange League===

Brock eventually leaves the group and stays at Valencia Island with Professor Ivy. At the time, it was believed that he had left for good, and naturally with him gone not many people saw any moments suggestive of a romantic relationship between them. However, it can be noted that Misty does mention Brock a couple of times. Once, in "Stage Fright", where Misty tells Tracey that the advice Ash is giving is exactely the same as the advice given to him by Brock. The other time is in the episode "Bye Bye Psyduck" when she says that the Golduck, when revealing that he likes to impress girls, is a "Pokémon version of Brock" - Incidently, she appears to have been 'infatuated' with the Golduck when she first saw it.

===The Johto League===

When the group arrives back at Pallet Town, they are greated by Brock at Ash's house. Naturally, both are surprised, though it seems that Misty is incredibly curious as to what Brock was doing at his house. Nevertheless, they're both glad he's back and they begin travelling agian.

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

During this season there's not a lot to be said in terms of relationship development,though the episode "The Heartbreak of Brock" is one in which a focus is brought upon Brock and Misty. Many shippers have used this episode to argue that Misty has no feelings for Brock whatsoever and that her response to the question "How do you know?" when she says that "It’s easier to like someone who likes you than someone who doesn’t" is a direct reference to Ash. Other people believe otherwise. In any case, it is interesting to note the interest that Misty takes in Brock’s love life, going to almost excessive lengths for Brock to return Temaku’s feelings, even if it isn't particularly under his free will.

Brock: But, maybe a relationship should start with ''both'' people liking each other, maybe...

Misty: SHE'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO LIKE HER!!!!!

It was also during the Johto League whereby the movie Pokémon 4Ever took place. It was in this movie where people noticed some nice scenes between the two- in particular when Misty hurts her knee and Brock helps her out by carrying her on his back. Also, when she first hurt it, Brock seemed the most concerned about her, even putting his hand on her shoulder and kneeling down beside her.

===Hoenn League===

With Misty returning to Cerulean Gym, there wasn't much to be said for Gymshipping, however in the two-part of which she has a cameo, it appears that her ear-pulling technique was particularly forceful. There are many who will argue against the ear-pulling due to the fact that Max now does it also, though it is interesting to note that his ear-pulling was the result of him being impressed by Misty's technique in these two episodes.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===

With the Hoenn league finished, Ash returns to Pallet and rejoins his friends after they make a temporary return to their houses, and so the group temporary travel with Misty at Mt Moon. It appears from this episode that Misty and Brock still share a close friendship, as he was the only one to actually express concern for Misty's wellbeing when the group gets split up. Ash, meanwhile, was worried about Pikachu, whilst May's primary concern was Max.

== Similaries/Coicidences ==
1. Both are/were Gym leaders.

2. Both have left the main group at some point.

3. Both have been proposed to (Misty by Rudy in the Japanese version).

4. Misty and Lola (Brock's mother) both have a passion for water Pokémon, and water Pokémon also appeared to be a focus of Brock's also.

5. Both have/had 'baby' Pokémon (Misty had [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]] and now has [[Misty's Azurill|Azurill]], and Brock had a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]] and now has [[Brock's Happiny|Happiny]]) Also Brock was the one to take care of Togepi's egg.

6. Both have a similar view on love and romance...

7. Both have frog-like Pokémon.

Brock : Love is War, and if you want to win a war you'll have to use ammunition!!...I bet Azumarill will love a jar of my home-made Pokémon treats! Give her this and I bet she'll call a truce.... or even an unconditional surrender!

Misty: You've got to be assertive! Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, and while they're still weak take the lead and you'll beat them hands down! Trust me I know, that's the best way to win!

==Hints in the manga==

In [[Pokémon Special]], Brock and Misty are two of the non-[[Team Rocket]]-affiliated Gym Leaders. However, there are no hints for romance between them; indeed, Brock has very little character development at all, and Misty has a crush on {{Special|Red}}.

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

Treecko Gal: /* Similaries/Coicidences */

{{cleanup}}
{{ship}}
One of the earliest ships in the Pokémon fandom was '''Gymshipping''', (Japanese: '''タケカス''' ''TakeKasu'') the belief in romance between the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Misty]], and the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader, [[Brock]].

==Hints in the anime==

===The Indigo League===

The two characters first met in the episode "Showdown at Pewter City" In comparison to the introduction Brock has with May and Max, his first meeting with Misty was quite sublte, with him reffering to her as 'that girl' whilst Ash runs off in an attempt to lose her. It is unknown whether or not Brock knew of Misty's position as a Gym Leader, during his conversation with Ash it appears he knows the special attacks the Gym Leader possess, but out of respect for the Cerulean Gym Leader gives Ash no further information. Interestingly enough, he reffered to the Cerulean Gym Leader as a 'he' and incidently disappears for a great proportion of the episodes whilst Ash battled Misty. To this day it is unknown where he went and actually did, though people have come up with numerous theories. One such response was that he was simply buying supplies (i.e potions and antidotes) though this raises the question of why he was so secretive about it.In any case, Brock and Misty soon develop a strong friendship.

In the episode "[[The School of Hard Knocks]]", when Ash and Brock fall in love with [[Giselle]], Misty gets mad. Some say that she was jealous because of Brock, but others say that was because of Ash.

The idea of the two in a romantic relationship generally arose from the episode entitled "Mystery in the Lighthouse". In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance. She accepts, and so they waltz against the music made a by a large and (then) mysterious Pokémon.

Generally speaking, there are no 'hints' or 'evidence' indicating with 100% certainty that either Misty or Brock has/had feelings for the other. However, there are quite a few moments involving the two whom Gymshippers like, many of these moments arising from the fact that both characters in general had a greater awareness, as well as interest (Brock particularly) in romance than Ash.

An example of this was in the episode entitled "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak". Brock becomes infatuated with a maiden he sees, and when an old lady explains that the Maiden is a ghost who harms men who cross her path, Misty misinteprets, exclaiming "I must be the beautiful girl, but I'd never hurt Brock!"

Brock was initially more subtle in his romantic feelings, and this lead to a humerous situation in "Bulbasaur and the Hidden village" where Misty would continously tease Brock about his feelings for Melanie, right until the end of the episode where she asks "So, Brock, how'd you tell Melanie you loved her? Did you kiss her goodbye?" resulting in him trying to keep her quiet. His bevahiour soon changes as the series progresses, though his interest in girls has remained the same ever since.

Another humerous situation occured whilst Ash was competing in the Indigo league against Janet. Brock, infatatued once again, wishes for Janet to win, resulting in Misty having remind him (by screaming) that they're supposed to be both cheering for Ash.

As stated earlier, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that they have/had romantic feelings for each other. Indeed, in the episode "Make room for gloom' Misty doesn't appear to be disturbed by the thought of Brock with Florinda (though this is the only time she has reamined so indifferent to Brock's lovelife, and eventually it is revealled that Florinda has feelings for Potter) . However, there are times in which they've been stunned by each other's appeance. During the Indigo League, it is Brock who is stunned a couple of times. Interestingly enough, whenever Misty has been shown in differnt clothing he has never actually commented. For example, in the episode "Beauty and the Beach" he simply stares and smiles (perhaps a smirk) when Misty arrives wearing her bikina. Also, in "The March of the Exeggutor Squad" whilst Ash comments (in the dub at least) that her dress is cute, Brock meanwhile says nothing (eating popcorn as well as stares when he sees Misty wearing a kimono in the episode "Princess vs. Princess". More notably, Brock blushes at the image of a girl in a mermaid constume in "The Misty mermaid" As the title suggests, it is Misty who ends up wearing the Mermaid costume. Interestingly enough, Brock doesn't appear to be too dissapointed when he finds out the role is to be filled by her. In addition, when Ash sugests that the Mermaid on the poster looks like Misty (whilst Brock is still gawking) she bears a expresion on her face which can best be said to be embarrassment.

Shippers also have noted a common occurance whereby Misty and Brock are left together. Though a more common occurance during the Johto League, a notable instance of this happening is in the episode "Snow Way Out". After the snow storm, Ash finds out that Brock and Misty found a hot spring, with Misty saying (whilst blushing) "You can't believe how comfy we were!". This also occurs when they both leave Ash to go windsurfing in "The Evolution Solution".

===The Orange League===

Brock eventually leaves the group and stays at Valencia Island with Professor Ivy. At the time, it was believed that he had left for good, and naturally with him gone not many people saw any moments suggestive of a romantic relationship between them. However, it can be noted that Misty does mention Brock a couple of times. Once, in "Stage Fright", where Misty tells Tracey that the advice Ash is giving is exactely the same as the advice given to him by Brock. The other time is in the episode "Bye Bye Psyduck" when she says that the Golduck, when revealing that he likes to impress girls, is a "Pokémon version of Brock" - Incidently, she appears to have been 'infatuated' with the Golduck when she first saw it.

===The Johto League===

When the group arrives back at Pallet Town, they are greated by Brock at Ash's house. Naturally, both are surprised, though it seems that Misty is incredibly curious as to what Brock was doing at his house. Nevertheless, they're both glad he's back and they begin travelling agian.

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

During this season there's not a lot to be said in terms of relationship development,though the episode "The Heartbreak of Brock" is one in which a focus is brought upon Brock and Misty. Many shippers have used this episode to argue that Misty has no feelings for Brock whatsoever and that her response to the question "How do you know?" when she says that "It’s easier to like someone who likes you than someone who doesn’t" is a direct reference to Ash. Other people believe otherwise. In any case, it is interesting to note the interest that Misty takes in Brock’s love life, going to almost excessive lengths for Brock to return Temaku’s feelings, even if it isn't particularly under his free will.

Brock: But, maybe a relationship should start with ''both'' people liking each other, maybe...

Misty: SHE'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO LIKE HER!!!!!

It was also during the Johto League whereby the movie Pokémon 4Ever took place. It was in this movie where people noticed some nice scenes between the two- in particular when Misty hurts her knee and Brock helps her out by carrying her on his back. Also, when she first hurt it, Brock seemed the most concerned about her, even putting his hand on her shoulder and kneeling down beside her.

===Hoenn League===

With Misty returning to Cerulean Gym, there wasn't much to be said for Gymshipping, however in the two-part of which she has a cameo, it appears that her ear-pulling technique was particularly forceful. There are many who will argue against the ear-pulling due to the fact that Max now does it also, though it is interesting to note that his ear-pulling was the result of him being impressed by Misty's technique in these two episodes.
