==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}

'''Paul's Electabuzz''' (Japanese: '''シンジのエレブー ''' ''Shinji's Eleboo'') is the first of [[Paul]]'s revealed Pokémon. It is voiced by 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]'' in both Japanese and English.

Paul had it as an {{p|Elekid}} during his first appearance in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' as an {{p|Elekid}}. Paul used it in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. After a fierce battle, both Pokémon fainted and the battle ended up in a draw. In Paul's ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' flashback, it was seen with Paul shortly before he caught {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Paul also used it in his battle against [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', where it defeated his {{p|Geodude}} and {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}}.
[[Image:Paul's Elekid.jpg|As an {{p|Elekid}}|thumb|left]]
In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle where it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Chimchar]] against Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}}.

It was revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' that [[Paul]] had left Electabuzz with his brother, [[Reggie]], for {{pkmn|training}}. It was here, [[DP069|three episodes later]] that both Electabuzz and [[Ash's Pikachu]] settled their differences and became friendlier towards one another.

Electabuzz rejoined Paul after the events of ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', to have the upper hand in the battle against the [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader. In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''
it was seen helping Paul battle a wild {{p|Drapion}}. It still seemed to have friendly feelings towards Pikachu.

It appeared again in [[DP128]], where it took part in Paul's battle against [[Pyramid King Brandon]]. It was defeated by [[Brandon's Regirock]].

It re-appeared during the [[full battle]] that Paul had with Ash in [[DP131]] and [[DP132]]. It mainly used {{m|Light Screen}} in the battle which provided protection for his other Pokémon. It usually was recalled after doing so. It only truly battled [[Ash's Monferno]] in a close match but Electabuzz finally won the match for Paul.

'''Paul's Magmortar''' (Japanese: '''シンジのブーバーン''' ''Shinji's Booburn'') is a Pokémon owned by [[Paul]]. Paul chose it to replace his {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} after he released it.

It first debuted in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' as a {{p|Magmar}} where it appeared in a flashback. [[Reggie]] explained to {{Ash}} that it easily defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} which earned him the [[Badge|Cobble Badge]].
[[File:Paul's Magmar.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Magmar]]
It made its first real appearance in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', sleeping with Paul's other Pokémon.

Magmar was finally shown battling in Paul's match against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] in [[DP128]]. It was the first Pokémon chosen by Paul to battle him. He quickly recalled it after he saw Brandon chose {{TP|Brandon|Regirock}} to battle it. He sent it out again to battle {{TP|Brandon|Registeel}} but was soon called back. After all of Paul's Pokémon were defeated, Paul sent out Magmar to battle Regirock again, where it was finally subdued.

Magmar's evolution was revealed in [[DP131]] when Paul chose Magmortar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. They begun the battle in [[DP132]], where Pikachu got badly [[Status ailment#Burn|burned]] because of Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} before Ash recalls it and sends out {{AP|Buizel}}. Despite of a type disadvantage, Magmortar was able to hold its own pretty well until it was recalled by Paul.

'''Ash's Staraptor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクホーク''' ''Satoshi's Mukuhawk'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its Japanese voice actor is ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''. As a Starly and Staravia, it was voiced by ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Sarah Natochenny]] in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash's Starly.png|As a {{p|Starly}}|200px|thumb|left]]
Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. {{AP|Aipom}} was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu. In ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', Starly had its first battle against another Starly belonging to [[Paul]] and lost.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Immediately after its evolution Staravia had perfectly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Evolving has also allowed it to grow much stronger and become very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only one of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh [[Gym]] battle against [[Roark]]; however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}}. After seeing [[Reggie]]'s {{p|Staraptor}} use the powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attack, Ash was inspired to teach it to Staravia. In the third Sinnoh [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Staravia defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Meditite}}, as well as successfully mastering Brave Bird.

In [[DP118]], a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Wind Town]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process. Shortly after its evolution, Staraptor learned {{m|Close Combat}} and defeated [[Paul's Honchkrow]], earning Ash his first victory over [[Paul]].

In [[DP127]], Staraptor is going to be used along with {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{AP|Gliscor}} to battle [[Candice]] at the [[Snowpoint Gym]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Staravia DP094.jpg|As a {{p|Staravia}}|200px|thumb|left]]
* Despite the fact Ash's Staraptor and other members of his evolution family know {{m|Gust}}, it is impossible for {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, or {{p|Staraptor}} to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. The dub changed it to {{m|Whirlwind}} in Starly's initial appearance, but left it as Gust until ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]'', when it was dubbed as Whirlwind again, and has been since.
* For ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード ''{{tt|Mukkuru|Starly}} mukumuku-evolved; {{tt|Mukubird|Staravia}}''
* In ''[[DP103|A Jumping Rocket Ship]]'', it fell in love with a Staravia doll that was designed to appear female. It is noteworthy that Staravia's "dot" is noticeably larger than that of the doll's.
* Though Staraptor is confirmed to be male, the Czech dub refers to it as female.
* Upon evolution into Staravia, it was the 40th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting {{AP|Larvitar}}, {{AP|Haunter}}, and {{AP|Raticate}}.
* Staraptor's method of evolving to its final stage is similar to [[Ash's Swellow]], through a [[PokéRinger]] competition.
** The evolution is also similar to that of [[Ash's Grotle]], having evolved against [[Paul's Honchkrow]].
* Upon its final evolution, Staraptor became the 50th Pokémon that Ash has obtained, including evolutions and counting {{AP|Seaking}}, {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} and {{AP|Raticate}}. Haunter was not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, Seaking was released as part of contest rules, and Raticate was returned to its Trainer nearly immediately.
* Staravia took the most amount of episodes so far to evolve to a certain stage in the Sinnoh series, taking 105 episodes to evolve from Staravia to Staraptor.

'''Ash's Staraptor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクホーク''' ''Satoshi's Mukuhawk'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its Japanese voice actor is ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''. As a Starly and Staravia, it was voiced by ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Sarah Natochenny]] in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash's Starly.png|As a {{p|Starly}}|200px|thumb|left]]
Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. {{AP|Aipom}} was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu. In ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', Starly had its first battle against another Starly belonging to [[Paul]] and lost.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Immediately after its evolution Staravia had perfectly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Evolving has also allowed it to grow much stronger and become very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only one of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh [[Gym]] battle against [[Roark]]; however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}}. After seeing [[Reggie]]'s {{p|Staraptor}} use the powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attack, Ash was inspired to teach it to Staravia. In the third Sinnoh [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Staravia defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Meditite}}, as well as successfully mastering Brave Bird.

In [[DP118]], a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Wind Town]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process. Shortly after its evolution, Staraptor learned {{m|Close Combat}} and defeated [[Paul's Honchkrow]], earning Ash his first victory over [[Paul]].

In [[DP127]], Staraptor is going to be used along with {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{AP|Gliscor}} to battle [[Candice]] at the [[Snowpoint Gym]].

'''Brock's Happiny''' (Japanese: '''タケシのピンプク''' ''Takeshi's Pinpuku'') is a [[Pokémon]] that [[Brock]] hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. She is the second [[baby Pokémon]] Brock has [[captured Pokémon|caught]], after {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and the second egg he took care of after {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. She is the overall tenth Pokémon Brock has ever caught. Her Japanese voice actress is 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]].

==History==
[[File:Happiny egg.PNG|Happiny's {{pkmn|egg}}|thumb|left]]
Brock won Happiny's {{pkmn|egg}} in a Pokémon cosplay contest in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go!]]'' by entering his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} dressed up as a {{p|Politoed}}. He was overjoyed to take care of the egg, as he showed in [[DP034|the next episode]] when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', while traveling on [[Route 206|Cycling Road]], the egg began to glow. After taking it to a [[Pokémon Center]] and receiving assistance from [[Nurse Joy]], the egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an egg-like shape for her. [[Team Rocket]] snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "egg." Immediately after, she offered it back to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then captured her in a [[Poké Ball]].

Like most baby Pokémon, she became very attached to her {{pkmn|Trainer}} very quickly. She was upset when taken out of Brock's care, and refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry and fuss; she actually fought back against {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} after Brock had been hurt. Happiny has a cheerful personality, and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she is usually held in Brock's arms, much like [[Misty]] did with her her Togepi. She also is sometimes seen sleeping or playing with {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Sometimes she is seen riding on {{AP|Pikachu}}'s back, as seen in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' and ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''.

[[File:Happiny Strong.jpg|220px|Happiny's strength|left|thumb]]
Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. She'd knocked {{MTR}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} out of her way and flung [[Jessie's Seviper]] by the tail so she could get back to her trainer. She also launched Brock several meters into the air. She is very playful and has a lot of energy. Happiny carried many cement blocks in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and threw a big boulder in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here! ]]''. In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', she happily dumped everything out of Brock's backpack. In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', she saved {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} from falling off a steamboat by happily tossing them back on board, help save Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', and saved Brock and [[Autumn]] from falling off a bridge by chucking them high in the air to the other side of the bridge in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. She ran around with a {{p|Quagsire}} in her hand in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Similar to this scenario, she was also seen walking in [[Canalave City]] whilst lifting [[Ash's Grotle]] with one arm in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship]]'' who was comically tired due to its new form. She was briefly shown holding a large globe at the end of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. She was also able to stop {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from rampaging in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' with help of her strength. In [[DP109]], she tried to pull off a tightly manhole cover (but failed), and when {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her in time.

==Trivia==
* Happiny was revealed in a Japanese movie poster for ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* Happiny is one of the Pokémon in the anime that has an indisputably confirmed [[gender]] - female.
* Happiny is the first {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon owned by Brock.
* For ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Brock's Happiny.
* It should be noted that Happiny do not learn {{m|Strength}} in the video games, so that means Brock's Happiny is quite unique, showing off monstrous strength similar to what Strength would perhaps do.
** It should also be noted that in the games, Happiny and the rest of the Chansey family have among the lowest Attack stats.
* So far, Happiny is Brock's only team member from Sinnoh that has not attacked him to keep him from flirting with girls.
* Although Happiny's [[Pokédex]] entry states that she weighs 53.8 pounds, Brock, Nurse Joy, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} could carry or lift her with ease. This is an example of [[anime physics]].
* [[Misty's Azurill]] and Brock's Happiny are the only [[Pokémon]] hatched from eggs officially owned by a main character that hasn't evolved as of the latest Japanese episode.
* Happiny is the first among the main characters' Pokémon to have held an item, in this case, an [[Oval Stone]] made by Brock. The second is {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

'''Pyramid King Brandon''' (Japanese: '''ピラミッドキングジンダイ''' ''Pyramid King Jindai'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] and chief of the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}'s {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pyramid}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:000136.PNG|left|225px|thumb|Brandon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
He is shrouded in mystery for most of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Unlike the other [[Frontier Brain|Brains]], his silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the center of the group shot. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six symbols. This may mean that Brandon ranks higher than the rest of the Frontier Brains, although in the [[Pokémon games|video games]] and {{pkmn|manga}} this position belongs to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. When {{Ash}} finally gets his sixth Frontier Symbol in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', he learns that it is located near [[Pewter City]].

His first {{pkmn|battle}} with Brandon occurred in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. However, Ash was possessed by an [[King of Pokélantis|ancient king]] of the Pyramid who battled [[Brandon's Regirock]] with [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Sceptile unfortunately was defeated, though Ash eventually regained control of his body and the Pyramid was moved to an area near the [[Indigo Plateau]].

For their second battle in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', [[Ash's Torkoal]] squared off against [[Brandon's Registeel]]. However, Torkoal too was defeated by Brandon's [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Ash and {{ashfr|co.}} met up with Brandon in a forest, in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', Brandon and Ash fought in a 4 vs 4 battle. Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] in the first round, but was then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Then, Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}} squared off against [[Ash's Squirtle]]. The turtle-Pokémon was able to beat the ninja-Pokémon with a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In the next round, Squirtle was defeated by Brandon's {{p|Solrock}}, which on its turn, drew with Bulbasaur. With both competitors left to their last Pokémon, Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} while Brandon unveiled yet another Pokémon from his legendary army—this time, a {{TP|Brandon|Regice}}. Pikachu however, managed to hold its own against the [[Legendary Golems|legendary golem]] and came out victorious, becoming only the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a legendary Pokémon, after Charizard.

Brandon is going to make another appearance in an upcoming episode, as hinted in [[DP120]]. What is shown is that he will use his [[Brandon's Regirock|Regirock]], [[Brandon's Regirock|Regice]] and [[Brandon's Registeel|Registeel]] to battle [[Paul]] and his newly caught {{p|Hariyama}}, and to battle the {{p|Regigigas}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]].

==In the games==
Any trainer arriving at the top of the pyramid just after Brandon must battle this Pyramid King for the status of the pyramid's conqueror.

Brandon appreciates the grand life of the explorer. He recalls the passion, danger, and desperation of his death-defying and life-affirming adventures. When defeated in battle, he'll praise the grandness of the match and hand over the Brave Symbol.

===Quotes===
* First battle:
''"Young adventurer… Wouldn’t you agree that explorations are the grandest of adventures? Your own wits! Your own strength! Your own Pokémon! And, above all, only your courage to lead you through unknown worlds… Aah, yes, indeed this life is grand! Grand, it is! Eh? I’m Brandon. I’m the Pyramid King, which means I’m in charge here. Most people call me the chief! You coming here means you have that much confidence in yourself, am I right? Hahahah! This should be exciting! Now, then! Bring your courage to our battle!"''

''"That’s it! You’ve done great! You’ve worked hard for this! Hahahah! Grand it was! Grand, yes, indeed! Well done! You’ve earned recognition! Your Frontier Pass, please! Young explorer! I look forward to our next meeting! "''

* Second battle:
''"…You’ve finally returned, young explorer… Your love for adventure seems to come deep from within your heart… Yes… You are exactly as I was in my own youth… … … …Ah… The passionate! The dangerous! The desperate! Those days of death-defying, life-affirming adventures are back… Now, then! I sense my courage is off the meter! Everything you have! I’m braced for it all!"''

''"That’s it! You’ve done it! You kept working for this! Hahahah! Remarkable! Yes, it’s grand, indeed! Young explorer! You’ve dested me through and through! Here! I want you to have this! Ah, yes! It just goes to show that I have much to learn still! May our paths cross again! Farewell for now, young explorer!"''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Brandon took witness to {{Special|Emerald}}'s battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him, just in case. He seems to carry a special dislike for Emerald, but treats him fairly - explaining the rules of the {{Ho|Battle Frontier}} and showing off his Pokémon to the boy before the challenge. He expects Emerald to be tired out during their confrontation, but is surprised to see that Emerald used a {{p|Phanpy}}'s {{a|Pickup}} ability to collect enough items to keep his team refreshed. Brandon says he favors [[one-hit knockout move]]s, like {{m|Explosion}}.

===Pokémon===
The following is the listing for Brandon's Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga:
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:377.png]] {{p|Regirock}}
| align=center | [[Image:379.png]] {{p|Registeel}}
| align=center | [[Image:378.png]] {{p|Regice}}
|}

==Trivia==
* He's the only character in the {{pkmn|anime}} to officially train Pokémon that have been deemed [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]], though {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} did befriend and train with an {{p|Articuno}}.
* He is also the only character to have been challenged 3 times (including the non-official battle with the Ancient King) by Ash before being defeated. In terms of the number of the battles with Ash, he is one of few known Trainers to have battled Ash more than twice. The other best-known Trainers are: Gym Leader [[Clair]] and [[Gary Oak]]. Both also battled Ash thrice, although in Clair's case, the first two official Gym battles were interrupted.
* According to Pokeani, He is the suspected father of [[Paul]] and his brother [[Reggie]].

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode starts off with [[Team Rocket]] relaxing in the [[Great Marsh]]. {{MTR}} doesn't want to get in the marsh but [[James]] and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} pull Meowth in having him land on his face.

{{AP|Buizel}} is training for the next Gym match and {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} agree to have a training match. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} starts things off with {{m|Whirlpool}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} responds with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Piplup dodges and it hits Buizel. Buizel turns around trying to pick a fight with Pikachu but {{AP|Turtwig}} intervenes and tries to push Buizel back. Turtwig tries too hard and makes Buizel fall on its back. Buizel, angry, uses {{m|SonicBoom}} but Ash gets in the way, taking the blow. [[Crasher Wake]] comes by and notices Buizel's behavior. He sends out his {{p|Floatzel}} which looks down on Buizel. Ash checks Floatzel on his [[Pokédex]].

Ash and Crasher Wake are in the Gym field and the judge is explaining the rules. Crasher Wake sends out his {{p|Gyarados}} and Ash sends out Pikachu. Pikachu makes the first move with Thunderbolt which hits Gyarados giving it a bad damage. However, Gyarados seems hardly phased and Gyarados charges and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Pikachu counters with Iron Tail and jumps over Gyarados. Gyarados goes for Pikachu but Pikachu dives down using {{m|Volt Tackle}}. The two collide and Pikachu stands out the winner.

Crasher Wake sends out {{p|Quagsire}} and Dawn checks it out on her Pokédex. Ash calls back Pikachu and sends out Turtwig. Turtwig uses {{m|Energy Ball}} but Quagsire uses its slim body to dodge into the water. Turtwig jumps over the panels on the water and Crasher Wake notices how fast Turtwig is. After watching Turtwig jump from panel to panel, Quagsire uses {{m|Mud Bomb}} and sends Turtwig flying backwards. Quagsire jumps up and uses {{m|Ice Beam}}. After initializing an Ice Beam, Quagsire uses Mud Bomb but Ash calls back Turtwig. Ash sends out Buizel and uses SonicBoom. Quagsire seems to not have even felt the attack and Quagsire charges up for Ice Beam. Remembering the combination they used in the [[Wallace Cup]], Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}} as Quagsire releases the Ice Beam. Buizel goes head on towards the Ice Beam soon becoming encoated with ice armor and strikes Quagsire directly. Buizel knocks out Quagsire.

Crasher Wake sends out Floatzel and Buizel charges with Aqua Jet. Floatzel inflates its sac and deflects Buizel's attack. Buizel uses {{m|Water Pulse}} but Floatzel blocks it by merely punching it. Floatzel uses {{m|Razor Wind}} and Buizel is thrown into the water. Buizel gets out and uses {{m|Water Gun}} but Floatzel blocks with its left fin. Buizel charges at Floatzel but Floatzel dodges and punches it in the water. Floatzel uses {{m|Bulk Up}} and swims after Buizel. Buizel uses SonicBoom and Floatzel uses Razor Wind. Buizel continues to swim away but Floatzel is gaining up on it. As Floatzel gets closer, Buizel stops and Floatzel swims ahead. Then, Buizel charges at Floatzel with Aqua Jet. Then, Buizel uses Water Pulse and a geyser of water sends Floatzel against the Gym ceiling. Floatzel gets out of it and Buizel uses SonicBoom. Floatzel dodges and uses {{m|Ice Fang}}. Buizel bites the Ice Fang after it hits and uses Water Pulse. Floatzel inflates its sac and sends the Water Pulse back at Buizel. Buizel gets knocked back and is confused. Floatzel uses Razor Wind and and Buizel tries to use Aqua Jet but only turns around. Buizel gets knocked towards Ash and Ash decides to send out Pikachu. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Floatzel uses Whirlpool. The attacks collide and sparkling droplets of waterdrop and shock Buizel out of its confusion. Pikachu uses Volt Tackle but Floatzel stops it with Razor Wind and sends it flying in the air. Floatzel jumps up and uses Ice Fang. Pikachu falls backwards and recovers a little bit after the attack only to find out that Ice Fang froze part of its back. Buizel wants to battle now and Ash sends it out. As Pikachu and Buizel pass each other, they clap hands and Buizel uses Water Gun to break the ice off of Pikachu's back. Buizel jumps and uses Aqua Jet and Floatzel uses Ice Fang. Both Pokémon fall back to their places and Floatzel uses Razor Wind. Razor Wind hits and makes a smoky result. Floatzel jumps up but as the smoke clears, Buizel is nowhere to be found. Buizel jumps up from out the water and releases a Water Pulse at point blank range at Floatzel and sends Floatzel flying back. Floatzel is unable to battle and Ash has won the challenge.

Outside, Buizel and Pikachu make amends from the earlier incident and Crasher Wake gives Ash the {{badge|Fen}}. Ash does his pose and shows off his newly earned Badge.

Meanwhile, at night, Team Rocket are sleeping in the Great Marsh and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is putting some mud on [[Jessie]]'s sleeping eyes. The episode ends with Wobbuffet whispering its name.

Final Smash

2009-03-14T08:03:03Z

WoodGeckoGrovyle: /* Triple Finish */

[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Ivysaur}} about to attack a Smash Ball.]]
A '''Final Smash''' (Japanese: '''最後の切りふだ''' ''Final Trump'') is the most powerful move available to playable characters in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Each has their own personal Final Smash, which is activated by obtaining a Smash Ball. Due to the nature of the Final Smash, Smash Balls are a unique item in that they must be attacked several times to obtain them and then they can still be stolen by attacking the player who possesses it.

==Volt Tackle==
{{main|Volt Tackle (move)}}
[[Image:Pikachu VoltTackleSSBB1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Pikachu after getting a Smash Ball.]]
[[Image:PikachuBrawl FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Volt Tackle]]
'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Volteccer'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s Final Smash. Pikachu's eyes and outline glow red. A ball of blue energy then surronds Pikachu. Pikachu can then fly through the air, hitting and heavily damaging its opponents. The player may also press the standard attack button to increase the mass of the energy ball, causing more damage to be inflicted at the cost of the attack becoming harder to control.
{{-}}

==Triple Finish==
[[Image:PokemonTrainer FinalSmash.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Pokémon Trainer sending out all of his Pokémon for Triple Finish.]][[Image:TripleFinish FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Triple Finish]]
'''Triple Finish''' (Japanese: '''さんみいったい''' ''Trinity'') is [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]'s Final Smash.
Whichever of the three Pokémon is sent out at the time will be able to attack and break the Smash Ball. As soon as this has been done, and the Final Smash has been activated using the Special attack button, Pokémon Trainer will send out the other two Pokémon, and the three will group together to perform their [[move]]s. As the move is readying to be fired, a [[Generation IV]]-styled text box will appear at the bottom of the screen stating "Take that! Triple Finish!" At this time, {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Heat Wave}}, {{p|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{p|Ivysaur}} uses {{m|SolarBeam}}.

When the move connects, the text box will change to state "It's [[super effective]]!", a reference to dialog displayed in the [[main series]] games.
{{-}}

==Aura Storm==
[[Image:Lucario FinalSmash.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Lucario about to use Aura Storm.]]
[[Image:LucarioBrawl FinalSmash.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Aura Storm]]
'''Aura Storm''' (Japanese: '''はどうのあらし''' ''Wave Storm'') is {{p|Lucario}}'s Final Smash. Lucario jumps up into the air and uses [[aura]] to unleash a powerful beam attack. The beam can be controlled by tilting the Control Stick. Lucario can also slightly damage opponents if it comes into contact with them while jumping up at the start of the Final Smash.
{{-}}

==Puff Up==
[[Image:Jigglystartfinal.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff about to use Puff Up.]]
[[Image:Jigglyfinal.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Puff Up]]
'''Puff Up''' (Japanese: '''おおきくなる''' ''Grow'') is {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s Final Smash. First, Jigglypuff's eyes glow yellow. It then inflates itself until it fills the stage and then deflates. Anyone touching Jigglypuff when it reaches its maximum size will be sent flying.

A glitch has been discovered that allows Jigglypuff to remain this size on certain stages, though Jigglypuff will be sent offscreen for a KO if it moves around too much.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Only Pikachu and Pokémon Trainer's three individual Final Smashes are actual moves, and all of them have 120 power in the games.
* Lucario's Aura Storm resembles the Kamehameha wave from {{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}.
* Charizard uses Fire Blast six times during Triple Finish. In the [[version|main games]], this would require at least one {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}.

'''Ash's Cyndaquil''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヒノアラシ''' ''Satoshi's Hinoarashi'') was the third [[Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|captured}} during his travels through [[Johto]]. Its Japanese voice actor is ''[[Yuji Ueda]]'', and its English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

==History==
It was first introduced in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. Ash finds a forest reputed to be populated by Cyndaquil and decides to look for one. Ash was separated from his friends and chased by [[Team Rocket]] into a cave where he found Cyndaquil. After competing with [[Koji]] and Team Rocket for it, Ash was able to capture it.

Personality-wise, Cyndaquil was the "baby" of Ash's group. It started off very weak and lazy, and was easily tired out. In battles, it usually had to wait for the flame on it's back to ignite before using any {{type2|Fire}} attacks. After training with Ash in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', {{p|Cyndaquil}} was able to ignite at will.

Cyndaquil was also very speedy in battle, able to dodge attacks with ease. Arguably, its most notable battle appearance was in the episode ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix]]''. Cyndaquil took down [[Jasmine]]'s undeniably powerful {{p|Steelix}}. It has also been used in most of Ash's [[Johto]] gym battles and it was able to get at least one win in all the matches, defeating [[Bugsy]]'s {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}, [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Clefairy}}, [[Morty]]'s {{p|Gastly}}, [[Jasmine]]'s {{p|Steelix}} and [[Pryce]]'s {{p|Dewgong}}.

Ash left Cyndaquil along with the rest of Ash's [[Johto]] team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he wanted to start his journey fresh in the [[Hoenn]] region.

Moves that are used most recently are italicized.

==Trivia==
* With his capture of {{AP|Chimchar}}, Ash now has owned each Fire-type {{pkmn2|starter}} whose English name begins with a C and whose Japanese name begins with a ヒ ''hi'': {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, Cyndaquil, and {{AP|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]].
* Cyndaquil's body color has changed, like {{AP|Corphish}}'s {{m|BubbleBeam}}, over the course of the series. It started off with the top half being royal blue and the bottom half being cream, while later the top half was colored a mossy green and the bottom half was a deep cream.

'''Pika and Goliath!''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウ！ライチュウ！進化への道!!''' ''Pikachu! Raichu! The Path to Evolution!!'') is the 74th episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 540th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 3, 2008, alongside ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'' as a one-hour special and in the United States on August 30, 2008.

{{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}} meet [[Sho]], a boy who has a {{p|Pichu}} and a {{p|Raichu}}. He mistakes [[Ash's Pikachu]] for a [[wild Pokémon]].
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with the gang eating at a table in the woods, taking a short break from their journey. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is excited about eating, flailing its arms happily. Unfortunately, Piplup accidentally knocked a piece of food out of {{AP|Pikachu}}'s paw. Disgruntled, both Pokémon ran off to find the food. Once the food stopped rolling, a strange {{p|Pichu}} picked it up, eating it right in front of the duo. Pichu called for its trainer, a boy named [[Sho]]. When Sho laid his eyes on Pikachu, he thought it was a wild Pokémon. However, when a worried {{Ash}} ran over, Sho mistook their greeting, thinking Ash was trying to capture Pikachu.

In a rage, he tossed out his {{p|Raichu}}, and told it to use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Ash countered Raichu's attack with an Iron Tail of his own. Both Iron Tails collided. Once Sho realized that Pikachu wasn't wild, he offered up a few Pokémon to trade; namely a {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, and {{P|Magneton}}. Ash turned down all of the other Pokémon. Brock then asked why Sho wanted Pikachu so badly, to which he replied that he wanted a 'full-power evolution set'.

Ash asked why Sho didn't just evolve his Pichu, and Sho said that then he'd have to catch another Pichu. Ash challenged Sho to a battle – His Raichu against Pikachu. Sho accepted on the terms that if he won, Pikachu was his. However, Ash declined that offer. Still, Sho agreed to battle him anyway.

The first attack launched was by Pikachu – A {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Raichu took the electricity, completely unfazed. Sho mocked Pikachu's power, and gave Pikachu a {{m|Thunder}}. Pikachu also took the attack. Ash countered with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}; however, Sho's Raichu also knew this move and used it as well. Both of the Volt Tackles collided, creating an explosion. Raichu safely landed on its feet, but Pikachu slammed into a rock and struggled to stand back up. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, skidding backwards on the ground.

Ash assumed Raichu would be beaten with speed, and Pikachu used {{m|Quick Attack}}. The attack collided with Raichu's stomach, but Raichu didn't seem hurt at all. Then Sho decided it was time to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Once Ash tried to get Pikachu to dodge it, Raichu used its tail to attach Pikachu to a near-by rock so it couldn't run away. Raichu charged up its Hyper Beam attack and hit Pikachu at point-blank range. This also destroyed the rock and sent Pikachu flying. Pikachu tried to stand up, but fell back down when Raichu stepped in front of it. Pikachu looked in fear at the face of the attacker before its vision blurred. Ash, concerned, ran over to Pikachu and held it.

Sho again asked to trade, but Ash refused. Changing his mind, Sho made fun of Pikachu and walked off with his Raichu. Watching in the distance was [[Paul]], who stated that Pikachu needed to evolve to even come close to being an equal to Raichu. Just as quickly as he appeared, he was gone again. Brock then states that it's true that Pikachu can't learn Hyper Beam without evolving. Dawn then says that Pikachu can't evolve without a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Before Pikachu could say anything, it passed out in Ash's arms. Pikachu was immediately taken to a [[Pokémon Center]], where it was hooked up to a {{wp|electrocardiograph}} to check its pulse and heart rate. [[Team Rocket]] is seen outside, looking into the hospital room sadly as Pikachu's health began to deteriorate. Upon having flashbacks of its life, Pikachu's pulse and heart rates begin to plummet, and [[Nurse Joy]] used the pacemaker and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} set it for 200 volts. It was ineffective, so Nurse Joy told Chansey to set it for 300 volts instead. After three more tries, Pikachu's heart and pulse rates began to go back to normal, much to everyone's relief.

Later that afternoon, Pikachu is seen resting in a hospital bed. As it wakes up, Ash and the others were waiting for it to come to. Pikachu quickly tries to rush off to get Raichu, but Ash puts it back in the bed, saying that it needs to rest. Then, Ash got out a Thunderstone, revealing that it's the same one from [[EP014|his gym battle]] with [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}, and he kept it all that time in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve. Pikachu didn't seem to want to evolve even then. As Pikachu still seemed hurt, the gang left the room after Ash placed the Thunderstone on the table next to the window.

Outside, Team Rocket seem to be disgruntled about Pikachu evolving into Raichu. Later that night, Pikachu glared angrily at the Thunderstone, quickly turning away from it. It began to think about the Raichu it battled. It sat up, looking at the Thunderstone.

When the gang came into the room, Pikachu vanished and the Thunderstone was gone. Ash and his friends went off looking for Pikachu. A jolt of electricity in the night sky was seen and Ash ran off in that direction. Ash then saw his Pikachu, practicing Volt Tackle on a rock and breaking it. Ash ran over, happy that Pikachu decided to not evolve after all.

Team Rocket appears with Thunderstone in hand, implying that they planned to sell it before running off. Brock, Dawn, and Piplup came rushing over, noticing that Pikachu decided not to evolve after all.

The next morning, Pikachu seems ready and raring to go as they ran into the lobby of the Pokémon Center. There, they see Paul. Paul notices that Pikachu hadn't evolved, but says nothing and walks right past them.

The episode switches to Ash and Pikachu training with a frisbee, practicing flips and spins. A jolt of electricity bursts from out of the trees, interrupting the training. Ash quickly runs over, noticing that it was Raichu's Thunder. Sho is seen with his Raichu, practicing against a few trees before the gang runs over. Ash immediately challenges Sho to another battle. Sho remarks that it would end the same, but that he was fine with a rematch. He let out his Pichu to watch the battle.

Right before the battle started, Pikachu taunted Sho and his Raichu. Ash told them that it was their turn to go first. Angrily, Sho told Raichu to use Iron Tail. Ash's Pikachu was able to dodge it by spinning over top of Raichu. Again, Raichu used Iron Tail. However, Pikachu spun around on the ground, dodging every Iron Tail Raichu threw at it. Finally, one of Raichu's Iron Tails hit Pikachu. Raichu then spun around and through Pikachu in the air. Raichu used Volt Tackle on where Pikachu was going to land, and Ash countered with an Iron Tail.

Both Pokémon slid backwards, but Raichu came at Pikachu with another Volt Tackle. Pikachu was able to dodge it and then had to dodge a barrage of Iron Tails. Once Raichu was tired, Pikachu used Quick Attack and slammed into Raichu's stomach. Raichu was tossed backwards, but was able to stay on its feet. Raichu then came at Pikachu with an Iron Tail again. Pikachu was able to dodge it and use Iron Tail on Raichu's stomach. Raichu seemed to be worn out, but was able to make a come back with Thunder. However, Pikachu easily moved out of the way and used Volt Tackle. This time when Raichu was hit, it fell to the ground. Still, Raichu was able to stand back up. Sho then ordered Raichu to use Hyper Beam.

Raichu used its tail in the same way it had before, only this time Pikachu was held against a tree. Thinking on his feet, Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. Right as Raichu's Hyper Beam collided, Pikachu was able to soften the blow with Thunderbolt. Sho thought it was all over, until the smoke cleared and Pikachu was still standing. Raichu couldn't move, so Ash took this time to get an advantage. Pikachu used Volt Tackle combined with an Iron Tail and slammed right into Raichu.

Raichu was still able to get to its feet, and countered with Volt Tackle. Pikachu also used Volt Tackle. The attacks collided and an explosion was created. Both Pokémon were flung backwards, and both Pokémon were able to stand their ground. Raichu then used Iron Tail on Pikachu, who countered with a spinning Iron Tail. Raichu was flung into a tree, however Raichu was still able to get back up. Raichu then used Hyper Beam again, but its tail missed Pikachu. Ash's Pikachu then somehow 'used the energy from the Hyper Beam' to jump into the air and began to spin. It used the energy to go into an Iron Tail. Iron Tail collided with Raichu, knocking it out.

Both Paul and Team Rocket had been watching the battle. Team Rocket, much like they did when this happened [[EP014|previously]], celebrated and revealed that they stole the Thunderstone, and they intended to sell it for their plans to steal Pikachu. Meanwhile, Paul simply walks off-screen.

Finally, our heroes said good-bye to Sho and walked off into the sunset.

==Trivia==
* This episode follows much of the premise of ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' by having Ash's Pikachu be defeated by a Raichu and choose whether to evolve or not via the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}. Clips from the said episode are shown in this episode.
** Ash's Quick Attack tactic from the said episode did not succeed during this episode.
[[Image:113machine.jpg|The machine in the Pokémon Center|thumb]]
* It is shown that Ash still had the Thunderstone that the [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Vermilion City]] had given him. During the episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} grabbed the stone to prevent Pikachu's evolution, and currently have it with them. They also implied that they plan on selling it.
* 113, {{p|Chansey}}'s National Dex number, was often shown in the machine used by [[Nurse Joy]] in the Pokémon Center. In addition, 74, the number of this episode in the Diamond and Pearl series, is also shown. Due to the position of the heart on the monitor, it could also be a reference to the animation production joke {{wp|A113}}.
*''[[To My Best Friend]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' were both used as background music.
*The dub title is a reference to {{wp|David and Goliath}}.
*Ash makes an appearance in each of his previous outfits through still paintings of his memories.
*Pikachu's spinning aerial {{m|Iron Tail}} is visually identical to Pikachu's neutral-aerial attack in the Smash Bros. series. Red's [[Pika]] also imitated this technique in [[Pokémon Special]].
*Nurse Joy had performed {{wp|defibrillation}} on Pikachu. However, Pikachu was not suffering from cardiac arrest.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: [[Paul's Electabuzz]]
===Errors===
When Raichu was charging a Hyper Beam while trapping Pikachu with it's tail. Pikachu's ears had black tips. like Pichu ears do.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon Misty got in the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actress as both a Togepi and Togetic was ''[[Satomi Kōrogi]]''.

==History==
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon egg]] by [[Ash Ketchum]] in [[Grandpa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, [[Misty]], [[Brock]] and {{MTR}} fought over the egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Pokémon Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its trainer, thinking that she was its mother.

Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used Metronome to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack by a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Reflect}}.

Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to battle Misty for ownership of a [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]]. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, she ended up defeating Pikachu.

As Ash, Brock, May and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and Meowth, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen is an impure-hearted person, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the Togepi Paradise. It later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her [[Misty's Gyarados|Gyarados]] and defeated Hansen's Shedinja with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty released her Togetic to protect the Kingdom, the [[Togepi Paradise]], and the Togepi who lived there.

==In the games==
Misty's Togetic appears in the following games:

}}

==Moves used==
*{{m|Charm}}
*{{m|Metronome}}
*{{m|Safeguard}}

==Trivia==
*Before Misty hatched her [[Misty's Azurill|Azurill]], Togetic was the only Pokémon she owned that was not of the {{type2|Water}}.
**Despite this, Togetic can never become a Water-type, unlike Azurill.
*Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an egg that could evolve and can evolve again (the second being [[Brock's Happiny]]), though it could not evolve again the last time it was seen.
*It's currently the only Pokémon that officially belongs to a main character despite never having been placed in a Poké Ball (however, one can argue that Haunter has that position, as both Ash and Sabrina, in both the original and the dubbed version, stated that he got Haunter, implying it's officially his Pokémon).
**Togetic is the only anime Pokémon hatched from an egg to never be placed in a Poké Ball. {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} was hinted at having been put in a Poké Ball when Misty returned to the Gym due to its absence in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

'''Kenny''' (Japanese: '''ケンゴ''' ''Kengo'') is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who was friends with {{an|Dawn}} when they were young children. Apparently both of them are rivals. He started his Pokémon journey some time before Dawn did. Like Dawn, his starter Pokémon was also a {{p|Piplup}}.

He appeared in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' and ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'' in which he and Dawn entered the Floaroma Pokémon Contest. Both of them made it to the finals but he lost to Dawn after a closely fought battle.

He seems to have {{s|PenguinShipping|a crush}} on Dawn and he sometimes calls her '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'').

He makes a brief appearance on television in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' with his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in which he appears winning a Pokémon Contest, which gave him his second ribbon.

He appears again in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', where he enters the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} with a new Pokémon, a Breloom.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he made short cameos watching the Wallace Cup on TV.

Kenny then made a cameo in [[DP106]] alongside with [[Nando]] in [[Marian]]'s news report about coordinators.

==Trivia==
*His Japanese name may be derived from 金剛 ''kongo'', the Japanese word for "diamond". This is similar to how [[Paul|Shinji]] (Paul), who is {{Ash}}'s rival, is similar to 真珠 ''shinju'', the Japanese word for "pearl".
*Just like [[Gary Oak]], another rival of a main character, Kenny started off with a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon and owns an {{p|Alakazam}}.
*Both Gary and Kenny have Japanese voice actress whose first names' reading are both ''Yūko''.

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]]. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. In Japanese, 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]'' voiced it as both a {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Combusken}} (during her leave, it was voiced by ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''). In English, [[Rachael Lillis]] voiced it as a Torchic, as a Combusken it was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}} dub).

==History==
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary (though she later called them cute in ''[[AG007|Trees a Crowd]]''), while the starter {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} to the face. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature. Early on in the journey, Torchic was very inexperienced and ditzy. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and tended to wander around obliviously; it also tended to panic when in dangerous situations. On the group's first encounter with [[Jessie's Seviper]] (still wild at the time), the {{type2|Poison}} frightened Torchic by trying to eat it.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her new {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic's personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} during ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. Combusken itself had a period of being highly aggressive, but this seems to have passed and its personality seems to have evened out more now that it apparently feels that it no longer has to overcompensate.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and co. were trying to stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying. May then used Blaziken in the Battle Phase against [[Ash's Sceptile]].

Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] tag battles. It battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]].

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shroomish}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In sharp contrast to the diminutive {{p|Shroomish}}, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a {{wp|kangaroo}} or a {{wp|theropod}}. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail it uses to slam into its foe. Its arms appear to be short and of little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches. Its red claws are ideal for slicing.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Like {{p|Shroomish}}, Breloom can store up {{a2|Effect Spore|spores}} that causes several [[status ailment]]s.
They are also physically very strong, much like most {{type2|Fighting}}s, and extremely fast. Some of its unique moves depends on these two factors; {{m|Sky Uppercut|one being able to hit high opponents}}, and the other {{m|Mach Punch|to make sure it strikes first}}.

===Behavior===
Breloom come in groups along with other Shroomish and partake in tasks for their survival like foraging for food and defending their kind from enemies and predators, once threatened, Breloom will not hesitate to fight and will not cease until their enemies have been warded off or beaten. Breloom are formidable combatants in battle and will take on almost any Pokémon who poses as a threat to their kind, especially their young.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It's diet may be similar to it's un-evolved form, but it's not stated explictly. However, they can occasionally be found with the [[Kebia Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kenny's Breloom.jpg|right|thumb|{{si|Kenny}}'s Breloom]]
Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved {{TP|May|Combusken}} defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to {{Noland}}.

{{si|Kenny}} has a {{P|Kenny's Breloom}} that appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Though Breloom's phrases in {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue Rescue Team}} state its tail doles out punches, its [[Pokédex]] entries state its stretchy arms throw the punches.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Breloom.
* A blue Breloom was seen in the episode ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', but has not been confirmed as a {{shiny2}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Breloom is based on a {{wp|mushroom}}. It also appears to draw inspiration from a {{wp|kangaroo}}, from it's appearence and body structure. It is also based on several {{wp|dinosaur}}s, possibly the {{wp|Struthiomimus}} or {{wp|Velociraptor}}. It is also slightly based on the {{wp|ankylosauridae}}, due to its {{wp|Club (weapon)|club}} tail.

====Name origin====
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''{{wp|mushroom}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kapilz
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chapignon - From ''chapeau'' (hat) and ''champignon'' (mushroom).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 버섯모 ''Beoseotmo''

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]]. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. In Japanese, 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]'' voiced it as both a {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Combusken}} (during her leave, it was voiced by ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''). In English, [[Rachael Lillis]] voiced it as a Torchic, as a Combusken it was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}} dub).

==History==
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary (though she later called them cute in ''[[AG006|Trees a Crowd]]''), while the starter {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} to the face. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature. Early on in the journey, Torchic was very inexperienced and ditzy. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and tended to wander around obliviously; it also tended to panic when in dangerous situations. On the group's first encounter with [[Jessie's Seviper]] (still wild at the time), the {{type2|Poison}} frightened Torchic by trying to eat it.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her new {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic's personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} during ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. Combusken itself had a period of being highly aggressive, but this seems to have passed and its personality seems to have evened out more now that it apparently feels that it no longer has to overcompensate.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and co. were trying to stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying. May then used Blaziken in the Battle Phase against [[Ash's Sceptile]].

Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] tag battles. It battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]].

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shroomish}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In sharp contrast to the diminutive {{p|Shroomish}}, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a {{wp|kangaroo}} or a {{wp|theropod}}. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail it uses to slam into its foe. Its arms appear to be short and of little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches. Its red claws are ideal for slicing.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Like {{p|Shroomish}}, Breloom can store up {{a2|Effect Spore|spores}} that causes several [[status ailment]]s.
They are also physically very strong, much like most {{type2|Fighting}}s, and extremely fast. Some of its unique moves depends on these two factors; {{m|Sky Uppercut|one being able to hit high opponents}}, and the other {{m|Mach Punch|to make sure it strikes first}}.

===Behavior===
Breloom come in groups along with other Shroomish and partake in tasks for their survival like foraging for food and defending their kind from enemies and predators, once threatened, Breloom will not hesitate to fight and will not cease until their enemies have been warded off or beaten. Breloom are formidable combatants in battle and will take on almost any Pokémon who poses as a threat to their kind, especially their young.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It's diet may be similar to it's un-evolved form, but it's not stated explictly. However, they can occasionally be found with the [[Kebia Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kenny's Breloom.jpg|right|thumb|{{si|Kenny}}'s Breloom]]
Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved {{TP|May|Combusken}} defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to {{Noland}}.

{{si|Kenny}} has a Breloom {{TP|Kenny|Breloom}} that appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Though Breloom's phrases in {{g|Mystery Dungeon|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue Rescue Team}} state its tail doles out punches, its [[Pokédex]] entries state its stretchy arms throw the punches.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Breloom.
* A blue Breloom was seen in the episode ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', but has not been confirmed as a {{shiny2}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Breloom is based on a {{wp|mushroom}}. It also appears to draw inspiration from a {{wp|kangaroo}}, from it's appearence and body structure. It is also based on several {{wp|dinosaur}}s, possibly the {{wp|Struthiomimus}} or {{wp|Velociraptor}}. It is also slightly based on the {{wp|ankylosauridae}}, due to its {{wp|Club (weapon)|club}} tail.

====Name origin====
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''{{wp|mushroom}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kapilz
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chapignon - From ''chapeau'' (hat) and ''champignon'' (mushroom).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 버섯모 ''Beoseotmo''

===Quotes===
Before battle: 
''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

During battle: 
''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

When defeated: 
''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

After battle: 
''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the Champion. I should warn you-the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''

Last words: 
''"I'll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking."''

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type, yet he is also the only one who does not have at least one move of his specialty type on each of his Pokémon (all of his Pokémon are part {{type|Psychic}}, yet his {{p|Medicham}} doesn't have any Psychic attacks).
* One of the old men on {{Rt|228}} may be Lucian's grandfather as he has a grandson who enjoys reading and a library of books on {{wp|ESP}}.

===Quotes===
Before battle: 
''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

During battle: 
''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

When defeated: 
''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

After battle: 
''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the Champion. I should warn you-the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''

Last words:

===Quotes===
Before battle: 
''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

During battle: 
''"Hmm... Now what should I do..."''

When defeated: 
''"I see. You getting past the three before me was no fluke. Your power is real."''

After battle: 
''"Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four. However, that doesn't mean you're done with the Pokémon league. There remains the Champion. I should warn you-the Champion is far stronger than the Elite Four. Now, go on. Step through the doorway to your final battle."''

Last words: 
''"I'll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking."''

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type, yet he is also the only one who does not have at least one move of his specialty type on each of his Pokémon (all of his Pokémon are part {{type|Psychic}}, yet his {{p|Medicham}} doesn't have any Psychic attacks).
* One of the old men on {{Rt|228}} may be Lucian's grandfather as he has a grandson who enjoys reading and a library of books on {{wp|ESP}}.

'''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]]'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 that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. 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.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] (in their first battle), [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]] (Thanks to its use of the 'Air Lens' technique, which heated the air around Magmar to deflect electric attacks), [[Falkner's Pidgeot]] (Having already defeated his {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}), [[Bugsy's Scyther]] (After already battling his {{p|Metapod}}), [[Whitney's Miltank]] (Defeating it in the rematch thanks to Ash's strategy and it being worn down by {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}), [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] ''and'' [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, which would have been an easy match considering Pikachu's enormous type advantage, due to Pelipper's technique of using {{m|Steel Wing}} to ground electric attacks. It also struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] too.

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 ''[[PK01|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 {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

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 [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|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 defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch.

Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria 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.

In [[DP102]] Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

===Moves used===

*''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''
*{{m|Slam}}
*{{m|Double-Edge}} (used only during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]])

Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.

====Moves improvised====
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]]''

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.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.
 

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

==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 took a liking towards [[Misty]] in the beginning of the series. In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' Misty was able to hold and pet Pikachu, something that Ash had not been capable of just [[EP001|two episodes earlier.]] Also, it refused to battle for Ash against her in Ash's Gym battle against Misty in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City.]]'' It retained this liking towards Misty throughout the series, such as when it was very happy to see her again after [[AG044|a while]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team.]]''
*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 {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
*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 used in all of Ash's Johto Gym matches.
*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 either tied or 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.
**In [[EP005|Ash's first battle with Brock]], he tries to call back Pikachu with its Poké Ball, but it is blocked by {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}'s {{m|Bind}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat. Coincidentally, both Legendaries were {{type2|Ice}}s.

===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: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*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}}. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*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 by transferring a Pikachu from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} to Generation IV through 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 episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
**In the episode ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', Pikachu isn't in a dress along with the confirmed female Pokémon, but in the band with the confirmed male Ash's Buizel and the unconfirmed Pokémon.
**In the movie ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', after Pikachu dressed up in a clown suit, May asks to the rest of the gang "Doesn't ''he'' look cute?" This is only confirmed in the dub at this point.
**In the Dutch and German dubs Ash calls Pikachu a "Jonge" which means boy in Dutch and German. This probably means it's a boy.
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.
** [[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.

'''May''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a ten-year-old {{g|Coordinator}} from the {{pkmn|anime}} and a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. Her goal is to compete in {{g|Contest}}s and win [[ribbon]]s, win the [[Grand Festival]]s of the different regions, and become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. She traveled through [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] with Ash, [[Brock]], and her little brother [[Max]]. She is the daughter of [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]], and her [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{p|Torchic}} given to her by [[Professor Birch]].

==Character==
[[Image:May_Anime_Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|150px|May as she appeared during the [[Advanced Generation series]]]]
May is a young {{g|Coordinator}} who loves shopping and eating treats. She has a particular fondness for food, especially noodles. May is generally very sweet and optimistic, though she shows a tougher side sometimes, such as when she argues with her little brother, [[Max]]. Even though they argue often, she has shown that she deeply cares for her brother.

She loves [[Cute Contest|cute]] [[Pokémon]], flashy techniques, and has a tendency to rely on luck, often using Skitty's {{m|Assist}} or Munchlax's {{m|Metronome}}. She sometimes takes an interest in helping other people with romantic problems. She loves making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thinks up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2'').

When May debuted in the anime, she did not like Pokémon at all and was only interested in becoming a {{g|Trainer}} so she could travel. Everyone expected her to become a trainer, to follow in her [[Gym Leader]] father's footsteps. However, after seeing a {{g|Contest}} in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', she decided to become a Pokémon Coordinator. Though she was initially shown to not know much about Pokémon or [[move|attack]]s, she gradually gained experience through her journey and soon became a talented coordinator, with her skill being displayed in her [[Grand Festival]] rankings in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] regions. May is sometimes dubbed as the "Princess of Hoenn", which was what {{an|Dawn}} referred to her as when they met.

During her journey, she finds a rival in [[Drew]], a skilled and sometimes arrogant coordinator who was one of her main inspirations to try harder to further her skills. Another rival of hers, [[Harley]], is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May. At the Kanto Grand Festival, May competed against [[Solidad]], an experienced coordinator to whom she lost to in the semi-finals. At the end of the [[Advanced Generation series]], she leaves to compete with Drew, Harley and Solidad in the [[Johto]] region, aiming to find "her own style". May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|right|225px|May at the Wallace Cup]]
May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]] alongside {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]]. During this period, she wore the {{v|Emerald}} of her outfit. May made it all the way to the finals of the Wallace Cup, but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end.

May has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI]]. It was first used as background music in the episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and again in next episode, ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love]]''.

==Trivia==
* May was the first female in-game [[Player character|protagonist]] to travel with Ash.
* May is the only main character who has had two of the same Pokémon as Ash, which are {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}.
* She is the only one of Ash's friends to catch more than one [[starter Pokémon]].
* She is the only one of Ash's friends who started off not liking Pokémon.
* She is the only beginner trainer that was not given an introduction by the [[Narrator]] in their first episode. Instead, she gave her own {{wp|Grammatical person|first person}} introduction.
* May was the second of [[Ash's friends]] to have a lead role in a Pokémon movie, the first being her brother [[Max]].
* May and Max are the only friends of Ash not to meet Ash's rival, [[Gary Oak]], at one time or another. Ironically, May took one of Professor Oak's {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, just as Gary had done when he started out. Also they both ended up getting an {{p|Eevee}} along their journeys and evolving it into an [[Eeveelution]] that would debut in the next generation that they premiered in.
* May and Max are two of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The other is Brock.
* When May reappears as a guest character, she appeared in five episodes, compared to the two episodes [[Misty]] appeared in for her guest appearance during the Hoenn saga. However, Misty also made a second guest appearance from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]'', a further three episodes. Misty also appeared in four {{g|Sunday}}/{{pkmn|Chronicles}} specials, an option not available to May.
* May, along with Ash, owns the most Pokémon that have evolved twice since they were obtained, with three. Strangely, for both Trainers, they are the final form {{type2|Fire}} starter from [[Hoenn|their own region]] ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}), the final form {{type2|Grass}} starter from the [[Kanto|other region]] that appeared in [[Generation III]]'s handheld games ({{TP|May|Venusaur}}), and the first Pokémon that they caught from the wild, their region's native butterfly ({{TP|May|Beautifly}}). These correspond to Ash's {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, and {{AP|Butterfree}}.
* The only Pokémon she has that remained unevolved are Munchlax and Skitty. Coincidentally, both are {{type2|Normal}}, and each would only need to evolve once to reach their final stage.
* May is the only one of Ash's friends that has never owned a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} (excluding [[Max]], which does not yet have a Pokémon of his own).
* May is the only one of Ash's female friends to have never fought a gym leader of any sort. She did, however, initially intend to go on her own badge quest before deciding to be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, and did in fact battle ''in'' a Gym, but with a [[Watt|Gym assistant]].
* May's contest cry is "Take the stage!" (US) and "Stage on!" (Japan).
* All of May's major rivals have {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon. [[Drew]] has {{p|Masquerain}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, [[Harley]] has {{p|Ariados}} and [[Solidad]] has {{p|Butterfree}}.
* May is the only female character {{Ash}} {{ashfr|has traveled with}} who has met both of the other girls that Ash has traveled with.

'''Gonna Rule The School!''' (Japanese: '''勉強します！ポケモントレーナーズスクール!!''' ''Try to Study! Pokémon Trainer's School!'') is the 15th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 289th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 6, 2003 and in the United States on January 10, 2004.

Ash and friends arrive at [[Rustboro City]], where they are invited by [[Roxanne]], a local teacher, to tour the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]].
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis cleanup}}

Ash and friends finally arrive at [[Rustboro City]], where they do some sightseeing. At a local tower, Ash gets overboard on souvenirs, embarrassing everyone else. As Ash tries to apologize, Max notices a {{p|Poliwag}} cowering under a bench. When they manage to get Poliwag warm up to them, they notice a strange arm-band on the end of its tail. Soon, they are met by a local teacher named [[Roxanne]], who has arrived with her Beginners' Class, a group of students Max's age, on a field trip. The Poliwag had belonged to a class member named Kenny, who is afraid of touching Pokémon. Ash and friends are invited to their school, the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]], which is also convenient as it is next door to the Rustboro City Gym, where Ash and May will participate in their first gym battles.

At the Trainer's School, the headmaster takes them through the academy, including a contest training class that piques May's interest, as well as a battling class that draws Ash's interest. When they enter Roxanne's class, they are greeted by [[Professor Oak]], in the middle of a lecture by videophone. Max is immediately rendered speechless at seeing his idol for the first time, while Ash, Brock, and May take the time to greet Professor Oak. When Professor Oak asks about whether he or Roxanne had won the gym battle, Ash learns that Roxanne is also the Rustboro Gym's leader. As the headmaster explains, Roxanne is herself an alumnus of the Trainer's School, and quickly earned the title due to her prodigy skills. Roxanne, due to having to teach the Beginner's Class, asks Ash to delay their battle for another two days, for which Ash accepts.

Meanwhile, Max is quizzed by a jealous student named Tommy on what attacks would work against {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon (Max answers {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Thunder}}) and those that use {{m|Dig}} (Max answers {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Magnitude}}), quickly frustrating him. Continuing on with their tour, they are led to a room where the Academy's Poké Balls are kept and rented out to students. Outside the academy, Team Rocket manages to overhear, and plot to steal the Poké Balls. Ash and company are invited to partake in classes the next day. That night, {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} and Ash work on perfecting {{m|Iron Tail}} by slicing through small rocks (for which one manages to hit Pikachu on the head after it was successful).

The next day at the academy, Max is introduced to Anita, another Beginner Class student. As he learns, neither Anita nor Kenny is into Pokémon, and that their parents make them attend. Meanwhile, Tommy enters to try and bully Max once again. Anita quickly takes a liking to Max due to him having frustrating Tommy by being able to answer all of his questions. Later, after class has started, the kids are interacting with the Academy's Pokémon. May sneaks off for the contest class (only to leave when they have a pop quiz), while Roxanne asks Ash (who she introduces as an elite trainer) and Brock (who she introduces as the former gym leader of the world's premier {{type2|Rock}} Gym) to be her guest speakers, while allowing the students a chance to interact with their own Pokémon. The children are particularly entertained by {{TP|Brock|Lotad}}'s antics, as its delayed response to a {{m|Water Gun}} order manages to splash Brock in the face. Ash tries to help Kenny to overcome his fear of touching Pokémon by trying to making him touch Pikachu. However, Tommy having "accidentally" stepped on Poliwag's tail sparks another fight between him and Max.

Later on, during the Beginner's Class battle practice, Tommy and Max square off. Roxanne offers six Poké Balls for a one-on-one battle between the two. When the battle begins, Tommy has {{p|Magby}} while Max has Poliwag, putting Max with the type advantage. As Max is contemplating his battle options (including leading off with Water Gun), Tommy begins with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Max counters with {{m|Defense Curl}}. When Tommy tries again, Max uses {{m|Belly Drum}}. With increased attack and defense power, Max chooses not to go forward and attack, and on Tommy's next attempt with Flamethrower, it is replied with another Defense Curl - however, repeated hits is taking its toll on Poliwag. Before Tommy can finish, a school alarm bell sounds, and the headmaster appears to tell everyone that the Poké Balls have been stolen. A giant {{p|Wurmple}} robot, piloted by Team Rocket, appears, with a bag of Poké Balls on its tail. Ash attempts to take back the Poké Balls by Thunderbolting Team Rocket fails, due to the attacks hitting a screen. Brock's contribution with {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}' {{m|Tackle}} is countered by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Poison Tail}}, while May's attempt with {{TP|May|Wurmple}}'s {{m|String Shot}} is met with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Max wants to join in with Poliwag, but is held back by a shy Kenny, who insists on Max use an actual attack. Taking the advice, Poliwag's Water Gun hits Seviper. Tommy, not one to let Max take the glory, orders Magby to attack as well, hitting Cacnea. When Ash tries to help the two out, Roxanne holds him back, insistent on allowing the Beginner's Class their chance to take on Team Rocket by themselves. Kenny formulates a plan where Max and Poliwag would distract Team Rocket, while Tommy and Magby overheat the Wurmple robot. As they execute their plan, Poliwag uses Water Gun in the same manner as Pikachu and Thunderbolt before, while avoiding counterattack from Pin Missile by using {{m|Protect}}. This allows Tommy and Magby the chance to attack the Wurmple robot, while Anita and her rental {{p|Pidgey}} uses {{m|Wing Attack}} to free the Poké Balls. Finally, Roxanne uses her own {{p|Geodude}} to send Team Rocket flying using {{m|Rollout}}. At the end of it all, Kenny and Anita have found renewed interest in Pokémon (Kenny also having overcome his fear of touching Pokémon), while Tommy and Max have resolved their differences.

The episode ends with Ash and Roxanne ready to face each other the next day in their Gym Battle.

At the end of it all, Kenny and Anita have found renewed interest in Pokémon (Kenny also having overcome his fear of touching Pokémon), while Tommy and Max have resolved their differences.

The episode ends with Ash and Roxanne ready to face each other the next day in their Gym Battle.

'''Holy Matrimony!''' (Japanese: '''ガーディとコジロウ''' ''{{tt|Gardie and Kojiro|Growlithe and James}}'') is the 48th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 11, 1998, and in the United States on March 13, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] are merrily walking across the countryside until they come across a poster of a young boy who bears a great resemblance to [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]]. Just then, a limousine shows up, and an old man asks the trio if they've seen the boy. Ash answers yes if it was James. Shortly after the old man takes the gang with him in the limo, [[Jessie]], James, and {{MTR}} also show up and look at the poster. Jessie and Meowth are convinced that the boy in the poster ''is'' James, but he denies it. Nevertheless, Team Rocket follow Ash and friends in the same direction.

The old man, who is revealed to be James' butler, tells Ash, Misty, Brock, and {{AP|Pikachu}} all about how James is a millionaire, yet ran away from his home at a young age, as well as show them a huge doghouse that belongs to James' favorite [[Pokémon]], [[Growlie]], as well as a gigantic mansion. Team Rocket have also arrived, yet James isn't very keen.

Once inside the mansion, the butler tells our heroes that James' parents died earlier that morning, and unless he marries his fiancée in 24 hours, all of James' money will go to charity.

As the gang wonder how to find him, Team Rocket fall off the roof, with Jessie and Meowth beating on James because he refuses to get married. Ash tells them to stop, and Brock agrees that it's James' decision on whether he wants to get married or not. James then tells everyone a story of when he died on a cold night with Growlie howling sadly. Everyone else is left crying, except Misty, who yells that the story is false because James is right here. James then makes a run for it, but Jessie and Meowth lasso him back.

A few minutes later, James is wearing a blue suit, and Jessie and Meowth are wearing invisible costumes. They knock on the door, and the butler is pleased to see his master home again. He then takes James up to the room where his "deceased" parents rest in peace. But then, laughing can be heard from inside the coffins - and out jump James' parents, both alive! James knew that they would pull off a trick like this, and he tries to escape, but gets captured immediately. Ash and friends realize that this was all part of a big plan to get James to come home and get married.

Upstairs, James is really frightened to see his future wife, [[Jessiebelle]], who seems to be a dead ringer for Jessie. Then, they head down into the basement, where James's parents tell him that he needs to be taught a lesson for running away from home, as well as tell Jessie and Meowth that they saw them all the time and only pretended to not notice. After having fun cracking her whip at her future husband, Jessiebelle sicks her Pokémon, {{p|Vileplume}}, on James, knocking him out, along with everyone else (except his parents), with {{m|Stun Spore}}. Jessiebelle then vows to force James to become a gentleman even if it kills both of them.

Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Jessie, and Meowth are then thrown out of the mansion, then hear a pounding on the doghouse door, which is burst open to reveal Growlie, as he rescues James from Jessiebelle and Vileplume.

James, Growlie, and the others hide in the doghouse. Jessie is disgusted by Jessiebelle's behavior, and James explains that Jessiebelle is the real reason why he left home. Ever since the announcement of their engagement, Jessiebelle kept following James everywhere he went. A flashback shows a young James running out of his house with a young Jessiebelle, carrying an {{p|Oddish}}, far behind. As the flashback ends, James admits that if he marries Jessiebelle, it will be the worst mistake of his life. Growlie is the only real friend James has on this stuffy estate. Suddenly, Jessiebelle and Vileplume burst through the wall, sending Jessie and Meowth flying, and a [[Pokémon Battle|battle]] is on. Vileplume tries do another Stun Spore, but Growlie and Pikachu shoot a combination of {{m|Ember}} and a {{m|ThunderShock}} right back at it, causing Jessiebelle and Vileplume to run away in fear.

Jessiebelle knocks James' parents into a pond of {{p|Magikarp}}, leaving them convinced that she's too good for their son. From the bushes, James says goodbye to Growlie and asks it to look after his parents, because James would rather live the free low-life with Team Rocket instead of the upper-crust lifestyle. Growlie howls sadly as James heads off.

Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth are sad, because they think James got married to Jessiebelle. But then, they hear a familiar voice that says "Prepare for trouble." It is James, flying in the Meowth balloon, and he brings Jessie aboard and they vow to continue their own lifestyle. As Jessie and James look into each other's eyes, Meowth yells that they forgot him.

Finally, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu are being chased by Jessiebelle, who's demanding that they help her find James.

== Trivia ==
* James's faux flashback appears to be based upon Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story, [http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=DosOrph.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all "The Little Orphan."] James (as a small child) is dressed like a street urchin, and dies in front of a painting of a choir of angels on a cold winter night. James recalls that "the boy departed this world" and that "he was found frozen solid." In "The Little Orphan," a young poor boy freezes to death in the cold on Christmas Eve. He wakes up in heaven to find himself surrounded by all the other forgotten children, looking up at the splendor of Jesus' Christmas tree.
* This is one of the few times Brock was easily fooled by a blatant lie told by Team Rocket. He was seen crying in mourning for James when he told the story that he was frozen near a church, and died. This can be considered ironic, since he's considered to be the wisest, most level headed person on the group.

=== Errors ===

Ash tells Pikachu to do electric shock, a non-existing move, instead of thundershock.

=== Dub edits ===
*The poster with James's picture says 尋ね人 ''tazunebito'' (missing person) in the original. This is painted over with "Missing" in the dub.

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
Typhlosion, in appearance, becomes much different than its pre-evolutions; however, some resemblances remain. For instance, it is both a biped and a quadruped, like Cyndaquil and Quilava, respectively. The fiery vents on its back disappear, making way for a new ring of them around its neck and shoulders.
===Physiology===
The fur of a Typhlosion is very coarse and highly flame-retardant, giving it an extreme resistance to heat and fire attacks. This may also be to keep it from injuring itself during battle when using attacks such as {{M|Flamethrower}} or {{M|Flame Wheel}}. It also seems to have very sharp claws with which it can use {{m|Crush Claw}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
When a Typhlosion's health drops in battle, the {{a|Blaze}} ability comes into play. This gives its {{type2|Fire}} attacks a boost of 1.5 times their normal power. Typhlosion can generate enough heat to make any object go up in flames when angered. Its Flame Wheel is second to none.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Typhlosion make their nests along mountainsides and heated grasslands. They are rarely found in the wild because of the fact they roam mountains and active volcanoes in search of powerful opponents.
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Typhlosion are very rarely found in the wild, with the majority being evolved from a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that [[Professor Elm]] gives to the [[Johto]] region's beginning Trainers.

===Diet===
Typhlosion have several sharp canine teeth along their gumlines, suggesting a carnivorous diet. As many Fire-type moves, especially ones that are powerful in battle, are best used in [[Beauty Contest]]s, a Typhlosion that is good for contests would specifically be one that likes dry flavors. This Typhlosion would also be relatively good in battles, since Pokémon that like dry flavors have high special attack.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jimmy's Typhlosion.jpg|thumb|right|Jimmy's Typhlosion using {{m|Flame Wheel}}]]
Typhlosion's first appearance was in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'' special, [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|under the ownership of]] {{jo|Jimmy}}. It was his [[starter Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

The Volcano Pokémon also appeared in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' at the [[Pokemon Trainer's School]] where it made it's English version debut. It was seen again in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]'' under the ownership of [[Mr. Moore]], Flannery's grandfather.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Gold}}'s Quilava evolved into Typhlosion to protect {{Special|Silver}}, {{Special|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}.

==Trivia==
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have two [[type]]s; {{p|Charizard}} is {{2t|Fire|Flying}} while both {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} are {{2t|Fire|Fighting}}.
* Typhlosion is also one of only two final form pure Fire-type Pokémon that has undergone two evolutions, the other being {{p|Magmortar}}.
* Typhlosion has the same base stat values as {{p|Charizard}}.
* Just like Cyndaquil's and Quilava's, Typhlosion's {{shiny2}} sprite (in Gold, Silver and Crystal) had a purple flame, this was changed to orange during [[Generation III]].
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a Fire-type starter Pokémon that can only learn Flare Blitz by breeding; {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} learn it by leveling up.
*Even though it's [[Pokédex]] entries for [[Generation II]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Generation III]] mention that it goes into {{m|rage}}, it cannot learn this move in any Generation. However, it does have this move in the [[TCG]].
===Origin===
The appearance of this [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|wolverine}}.
====Name origin====
Typhlosion's name is a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. It may also be named after ''tephra'', volcanic material. The first three syllables of its Japanese name spell 爆風 ''bakufū'', blast, and the second part comes directly from typhoon.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tornupto - From ''tornado'' and ''eruption''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Typhlosion
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 블레이범 ''Beulleibeom'' - Part of this means ''flaming''.

'''May's Beautifly''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのアゲハント''' ''Haruka's Agehunt'') was the second [[Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} in her travels through [[Hoenn]], and the first she caught in the wild. Its Japanese voice actress is 白石涼子 ''[[Ryoko Shiraishi]]'' and its English voice actresses are [[Rachael Lillis]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Michele Knotz]] ({{PUSA}} dub).

==History==
While watching a [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly]]'', May saw [[Janet|a trainer's]] Beautifly perform and decided that she wanted one. Her wish came true in the following episode, and May caught a Wurmple in the episode ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', as did [[Jessie]]. Several episodes later, in ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', both Wurmple were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper trainers by the episode's end. In the episode ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'', May's Wurmple evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} while Jessie's evolved into {{p|Cascoon}}; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well. Four episodes later, in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', Jessie's Cascoon evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

In the episode ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', May used Beautifly as her Pokémon in a [[PokéRinger]] competition. [[James]], using Dustox, defeated Beautifly in the competition, but Dustox eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when {{Ash}}'s {{p|Taillow}} evolved into a {{AP|Swellow}}.

Before heading off to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, May left her Beautifly at her home in Petalburg City. It returned temporarily in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]'', and was seen again in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

Beautifly returned in the [[Wallace Cup]], defeating [[Zoey's Glameow]].

==Personality==
As a Wurmple, it was very greedy. It would gorge itself on food and then fall asleep, unlike Jessie's more sedate and well-behaved Wurmple. When it evolved to both its latter stages, however, it became more calm and mellow.

Moves that had been used most recently are italicized.

==Trivia==
* May's Beautifly follows a theme used by [[Misty's Corsola]], that the trainer wants a particular species of Pokémon long before actually capturing one. This theme is followed by [[Dawn's Buneary]] also, and like Dawn's Buneary, it was May's first capture.

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers X'') is the third installment of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, released on the [[Wii]] in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various [[Nintendo]] video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] alone, the [[Wii|Nunchuck + Remote]] control scheme, and the [[Wii|Wii Classic Controller]]. Non-Nintendo characters [[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and [[wp:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] are also featured in the game.

Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called ''[[Final Smash]]''. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called [[The Subspace Emissary]]. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.
[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Ivysaur about to attack a Smash Ball.]]
The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, which is an increase of 13 from Melee. {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} return as playable [[Pokémon]] but {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Volt Tackle}} and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Puff Up}}.

A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whose character design is based on the Generation III [[Red (game)|Red]]. In a first for the series, he only appears in the background and his Pokémon do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, [[Pokémon Change]]. Squirtle knows {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}, Ivysaur knows {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Charizard knows {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

The other new playable character in the game is {{p|Lucario}}, who was accidently revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches or simply meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}.

The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] and [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Generation IV]] Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers X'') is the third installment of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, released on the [[Wii]] in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various [[Nintendo]] video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] alone, the [[Wii|Nunchuck + Remote]] control scheme, and the [[Wii|Wii Classic Controller]]. Non-Nintendo characters [[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and [[wp:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] are also featured in the game.

Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called ''[[Final Smash]]''. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called [[The Subspace Emissary]]. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.
[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Ivysaur about to attack a Smash Ball.]]
The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, which is an increase of 13 from Melee. {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} return as playable [[Pokémon]] but {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Volt Tackle|Volt Tackle]] and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Puff Up|Puff Up]].

A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon [[Trainer]], whose character design is based on the Generation III [[Red (game)|Red]]. In a first for the series, he only appears in the background and his Pokémon do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, [[Pokémon Change]]. Squirtle knows {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}, Ivysaur knows {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Charizard knows {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

The other new playable character in the game is {{p|Lucario}}, who was accidently revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches or simply meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Aura Storm|Aura Storm]].

The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] and [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Generation IV]] Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers X'') is the third installment of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, released on the [[Wii]] in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various [[Nintendo]] video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] alone, the [[Wii|Nunchuck + Remote]] control scheme, and the [[Wii|Wii Classic Controller]]. Non-Nintendo characters [[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and [[wp:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] are also featured in the game.

Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called ''[[Final Smash]]''. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called [[The Subspace Emissary]]. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.
[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Ivysaur about to attack a Smash Ball.]]
The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, which is an increase of 13 from Melee. {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} return as playable [[Pokémon]] but {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Volt Tackle|Volt Tackle]] and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Puff Up|Puff Up]].

A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon [[Trainer]], whose character design is based on the Generation III [[Red (game)|Red]]. In a first for the series, he only appears in the background and his Pokémon do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, [[Pokémon Change]]. Squirtle knows {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}, Ivysaur knows {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Charizard knows {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

The other new playable character in the game is {{p|Lucario}}, who was accidently revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches or simply meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Aura Storm|Aura Storm]].

The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] and [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Generation IV]] Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers X'') is the third installment of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, released on the [[Wii]] in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various [[Nintendo]] video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] alone, the [[Wii|Nunchuck + Remote]] control scheme, and the [[Wii|Wii Classic Controller]]. Non-Nintendo characters [[wp:Solid Snake|Solid Snake]] and [[wp:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]] are also featured in the game.

Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called ''[[Final Smash]]''. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called [[The Subspace Emissary]]. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.
[[Image:Ivysaur Smash Ball.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Ivysaur about to attack a Smash Ball.]]
The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, which is an increase of 13 from Melee. {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} return as playable [[Pokémon]] but {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Volt Tackle|Volt Tackle]] and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Puff Up|Puff Up]].

A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon [[Trainer]], whose character design is based on the Generation III [[Red (game)|Red]]. In a first for the series, he only appears in the background and his Pokémon do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, [[Pokémon Change]]. Squirtle knows {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}, Ivysaur knows {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Charizard knows {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

The other new playable character in the game is {{p|Lucario}}, who was accidently revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches or simply meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is [[Final Smash#Aura Storm|Aura Storm]].

The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] and [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Generation IV]] Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.

'''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. His voice actor in Japanese is 上田祐司 ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. As a Treecko, he was voiced by [[Dan Green]] in English. As a Grovyle, he was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and by Bill Rogers ({{PUSA}} dub) in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash Treecko.jpg|left|thumb|As a Treecko]]
{{p|Treecko}} was caught in the episode ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd!]]'' after Ash helped him in trying to save his old tree home; this event was followed by a battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash caught him as a result of that battle. Ash has used Treecko in a number of battles since its capture including the gym battles against [[Roxanne]] and [[Brawly]].

Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} in the episode ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'' in the middle of a battle against {{Ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Loudred}}. Ash has used Grovyle in almost every gym battle since its evolution. The most notable being the one against [[Norman]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', where it battled [[Norman's Slaking]]. It was also used in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] as well as the battle against the [[Frontier Brain]], {{Greta}}.
[[Image:Grovyle-anime.jpg|left|thumb|As a Grovyle]]
It evolved into Sceptile in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' when its love, [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Meganium}}, was attacked by [[Team Rocket]]. Until ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'', Sceptile lost his ability to use attacks due to a broken heart. He regained his ability to use attacks in the above-mentioned episode and was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the following episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]'', where it won Ash the [[Symbol|Spirit Symbol]] after learning a new move, {{m|SolarBeam}}.

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. Sceptile also has a habit of keeping a twig in his mouth. He is also a bit of a loner, and can often be seen sitting alone on the branch of a tree, resting or looking at the sky. Both of these habits were 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 the five Pokémon that Ash took with him on his journey to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

In [[AG191|Once More With Reeling]] it fought in the Teracotta contest final against [[May's Blaziken]]. The battle resulted in a tie where both May and Ash won the medal. This is the most recent battle Sceptile has fought under Ash's command.

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

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]]. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. In Japanese, 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]'' voiced it as both a {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Combusken}} (during her leave, it was voiced by ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''). In English, [[Rachael Lillis]] voiced it as a Torchic, as a Combusken it was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}} dub).

==History==
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was ugly and scary, while the starter {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} to the face. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature. Early on in the journey, Torchic was very inexperienced and ditzy. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and tended to wander around obliviously; it also tended to panic when in dangerous situations. On the group's first encounter with [[Jessie's Seviper]] (still wild at the time), the {{type2|Poison}} frightened Torchic by trying to eat it.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her new {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic's personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} during ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. Combusken itself had a period of being highly aggressive, but this seems to have passed and its personality seems to have evened out more now that it apparently feels that it no longer has to overcompensate.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and co. were trying to stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying. May then used Blaziken in the Battle Phase against [[Ash's Sceptile]].

Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] tag battles. It battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]].

'''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. His voice actor in Japanese is 上田祐司 ''[[Yūji Ueda]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]]. As a Treecko, he was voiced by [[Dan Green]] in English. As a Grovyle, he was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and by Bill Rogers ({{PUSA}} dub) in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash Treecko.jpg|left|thumb|As a Treecko]]
{{p|Treecko}} was caught in the episode ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd!]]'' after Ash helped him in trying to save his old tree home; this event was followed by a battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash caught him as a result of that battle. Ash has used Treecko in a number of battles since its capture including the gym battles against [[Roxanne]] and [[Brawly]].

Treecko evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} in the episode ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]'' in the middle of a battle against {{Ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Loudred}}. Ash has used Grovyle in almost every gym battle since its evolution. The most notable being the one against [[Norman]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', where it battled [[Norman's Slaking]]. It was also used in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] as well as the battle against the [[Frontier Brain]], {{Greta}}.
[[Image:Grovyle-anime.jpg|left|thumb|As a Grovyle]]
It evolved into Sceptile in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' when its love, [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Meganium}}, was attacked by [[Team Rocket]]. Until ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'', Sceptile lost his ability to use attacks due to a broken heart. He regained his ability to use attacks in the above-mentioned episode and was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the following episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]'', where it won Ash the [[Symbol|Spirit Symbol]] after learning a new move, {{m|SolarBeam}}.

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. Sceptile also has a habit of keeping a twig in his mouth. He is also a bit of a loner, and can often be seen sitting alone on the branch of a tree, resting or looking at the sky. Both of these habits were 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 the five Pokémon that Ash took with him on his journey to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

In [[AG191|Once More With Reeling]] it fought in the Terakata contest final against [[May's Blaziken]]. The battle resulted in a tie where both May and Ash won the medal. This is the most recent battle Sceptile has fought under Ash's command.

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

* {{m|Pound}}
* {{m|Quick Attack}}
* {{m|Slam}}

* {{m|SolarBeam}}
* {{m|Agility}}

==Trivia==
* Treecko was {{Ash}}'s first Pokémon to know only moves not of its [[Elemental type|type]] when it was captured. In fact, it would be on Ash's team for 34 episodes before it finally learned a Grass-Type move (that being {{m|Bullet Seed}}).
* 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..." It should be noted, however, that this was said in the dub only.
*Sceptile keeping a twig in his mouth is much like a 番長 ''banchō'', a juvenile gang leader, a character type that was common in {{wp|manga}} and {{wp|anime}} in the sixties and early seventies.
* It took 59 episodes for {{p|Treecko}} to evolve into a {{p|Grovyle}}. Incidentally, the amount of episodes to evolve again was the reversed digits; 95.
