'''Ansha''' (Japanese: '''アンシャ''' ''Ansha'') is a character from the {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. She is a talented chef who creates [[donut]]s that dreams of finding the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} in [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]] and gift it to her dear [[Diantha|mama]]. During the course of the game, Ansha becomes a full-fedged member of Team MZ and assists the group by powering up Hoopa with her donuts in order create portals to the hyperspace.

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
Ansha is a short, young girl with fair complexion. Her hair is mostly covered in her fluffy white hat; the hair on the back of her head is styled to resemble a {{wp|mochi donut}}. She wears a knee-length black overcoat with a fluffy pink collar over a white sweater, and black shoes with fluffy pink legwarmers, and she carries a small white backpack with golden ornaments. When cooking donuts, Ansha dons her cooking attire, consisting of a bluish-gray apron and head scarf with a donut pattern; Naveen and Lida later sewed the Team MZ logo onto her apron.

===Personality===
[[File:Ansha cooking with Hoopa ZA.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ansha cooking [[donut]]s with {{p|Hoopa}}]]
Ansha is a young girl who shows surprising maturity and eloquence by the way she speaks and is also polite with the adults around her, addressing them properly. She enjoys making donuts and has been getting better at it over the years: this ability and her caring and kind personality has led the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}} to gather an interest in her and two ended up becoming friends. She cares a lot for her mother Diantha, so much so that she wants to get the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}} to give her as a present. Despite this, she seems to be worried that she might not live up to the expectations of being a Champion's daughter, should she pursue being a Pokémon Trainer herself. Moreover, she seems saddened by the fact she does not get to spend much time with her mother, given how busy she is with her acting career.{{-}}

===History===
====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Ansha is a talented donut chef who, along with her partner [[Hoopa]], seeks the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} to give to her "dear mama", [[Diantha]]. Along the way, Ansha seeks the help of [[Team MZ]] to make a donut that will give Hoopa a surge of power, and ends up guiding them to [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

{{TrainerPoké
| trainer = Ansha
| pkmn = Hoopa
| gender =
| type1 = psychic
| type = ghost
| img = Ansha Hoopa.png
| epnum = Mega Dimension
| desc = At some point in the past, {{p|Hoopa}} had its power clamped down by the [[Prison Bottle]] so it wouldn't go rampaging all over, remaining in its Confined form since then. It also seems to have some animosity towards the Prison Bottle, refusing to change into its Unbound form.

About 6 months prior to the events of [[Mega Dimension]], Ansha happened upon Hoopa, heavily weakened after losing a battle to a mighty Pokémon it played a prank on. She fed it a fresh-baked [[donut]], granting its strength back and since then, it followed her around, helping her visit [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]] through the use of its {{m|Hyperspace Hole|hyperspace holes}}.

It appears alongside Ansha while she resides at [[Hotel Z]]. Eating donuts baked by her, it gains the power to use its rings and open up the distortions across Lumiose, which allow [[Team MZ]] to access new pockets of hyperspace.

Hoopa's only known move is {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}.}}




==Trivia==
* Ansha's Hoopa's love for donuts appears to reference the animated Pokémon movie ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', which features a {{an|Hoopa}} that loves to eat donuts.
* The beginning of Ansha's theme contains elements of [[Diantha|her mother]]'s battle theme.

'''Pokémon Legends: Z-A'''{{#tag:ref|"Z-A" is pronounced as the two letters Z and A separately, according to the pronunciation of those letters in each language.<ref group="lower-alpha" name="en"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ja"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ko"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="es_la"/>|group=note|name=pronunciation}} (Japanese: '''{{j|Pokémon LEGENDS {{ruby|Z-A|ゼットエー}}}}''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A'') is the third [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] game and the second game in the "[[Core series#Pokémon Legends|Pokémon Legends]]" series, after [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2024, at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]], five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Six months prior to the events of the game, [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], a phenomenon where Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] without a trainer, occurs throughout Lumiose City. Thus, Quasartico, with advisement of [[AZ]], creates the [[Z-A Royale]] to find the strongest Mega Evolution user to protect Lumiose City once and for all.

At the end of the game, the player and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] attempt to quell [[Ange]], a special device in Prism Tower, which was improperly activated due to the previous usage of the [[ultimate weapon]]. Although Eternal Flower [[Floette]] appeared to temporarily disable the weapon, it turns into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying [[Prism Tower]]

The player, assisted by other trainers they met in the [[Z-A Royale]] and [[Zygarde]], stop Ange Floette, protecting Lumiose and the Kalos region.
{{endspoilers}}


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[Cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

As seen in the 2025 Worlds/Gamescom demo, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, return after their absence in the previous Pokémon Legends game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch. The player is seen using modern {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use both of the Pokémon that the player did not choose as their first partner.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

=== Rogue Mega Evolutions ===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. The player has to dodge attacks from Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon in real time and launch attacks to deplete the Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon's health bar and cause them to drop orbs of Mega Power. Gathering Mega Power will fill its meter and allow the player to induce Mega Evolution on their own Pokémon. The meter will then slowly drain, but the player is able to gather more Mega Power to keep the meter from draining; the meter will enter a cooldown mode once it has been drained.

=== Z-A Royale ===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.
===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{p|Floette}} (exclusive to Eternal Flower Floette), {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} (exclusive to Complete Forme), {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

=== Connectivity ===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Switch, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==
The game sold 5.80 million copies in its launch week.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-z-a-has-super-effective-start-already-selling-5-8-million-copies/1100-6535676/ Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has Super-Effective Start, Already Selling 5.8 Million Copies - GameSpot]</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Legends: Z-A}}

==Version history==
The game file size for the download version is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

If the physical Nintendo Switch version is played on a Nintendo Switch 2, then the patch downloads will also contain the data for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack, resulting in an extra 3.6 GB of data being downloaded. If the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is inserted into the Switch 2 console instead, then the Upgrade Pack contents will not be downloaded, and the update files will only take up roughly 70 MB.

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the [[wikipedia:Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]].
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game and also the first instance of core series DLC releasing in the same calendar year as the base game.
**In which there is no way for the player to travel directly across water. Previous games featured methods such as [[Surf (move)|Surf]] or [[Poké Ride]]. Instead, the player must use Pokémon moves to create bridges from ice.
* This is the first original core series game since {{B2W2}} to not introduce any new Pokémon species at the time of its release, and, if {{B2W2}} are counted as a single game, the second in the series overall.
* All Pokémon introduced in {{g|X and Y|s}} are in the game, while all Pokémon introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are absent.
* All Mega Evolutions not in the game are from the [[Hoenn]] region.
* Starting from this game, every Pokémon from the National Pokédex is present in at-least one of the Nintendo Switch mainline games.

League Club Room/Interactions

2024-01-10T01:33:55Z

Zacian888: /* Arven and Carmine */

The following is a list of all interactions between NPC Trainers in the [[League Club Room]].

===Katy and Brassius===
:'''Brassius''': You are Katy, the owner of Patisserie Soapberry, are you not?
:'''Katy''': Yes, that’s me! And you must be Brassius from the Artazon Gym!
:'''Brassius''': The cakes and sweets that you craft with such care—they are truly avant-garde!
:'''Brassius''': Would you consider, perhaps...a Grass-type Pokémon for the motif of your next creation?
:'''Katy''': Oh, that might be interesting!
:'''Katy''': How about a Sunflora? Its round face would work really well on a cake!
:'''Brassius''': Oho! You have a true understanding of the arts! I cannot wait to collaborate with you on this!

===Katy and Kofu===
:'''Katy''': Oh? Mr. Kofu, did you put on some weight?
:'''Kofu''': Gahaha! Can’t help it when I’m comin’ up with new dishes!
:'''Kofu''': Ol’ man Kofu’s been makin’ plenty of deposits to the belly bank!
:'''Katy''': Well, I just hope you’re watching out for your health.
:'''Katy''': Your cute li’l Venonat wallet might get squished by your belly if you’re not careful!
:'''Kofu''': Gahaha! Thanks for that wallet, by the way! I’ve been puttin’ it to good use!

===Katy and Ryme===
:'''Katy''': My name is Katy, and I’m here to say, I like making pastries for people to eat!
:'''Katy''': We patissiers bake fresh sweets and serve them all up in your face!
:'''Ryme''': Katy, baby...that ain’t rap. You’re just stringin’ words together.
:'''Ryme''': Rap’s gotta rhyme, or else you’re just talkin’ over a beat! You need to hit the rhyming dictionary!
:'''Katy''': Aww... Rapping sure is hard! And why would I hit a poor dictionary? It didn’t do anything to me!
:'''Ryme''': I can’t even tell if you’re serious right now! It’s kinda scary—and that’s me saying that!

===Katy and Grusha===
:'''Katy''': Say, Grusha, I have a question.
:'''Grusha''': Huh? Wh-what do you want? Katy...right?
:'''Katy''': Do you happen to work out, Grusha?
:'''Grusha''': Uh, yeah... Out of habit more than anything. Why do you ask?
:'''Katy''': I see! Well then, when I’m giving you some nice pastries, I’ll go for ones that are a little lighter on the calories!
:'''Grusha''': Huh? Wh-why would you give me pastries? I mean, I appreciate it and all, but...
:'''Katy''': Hehe, sweets always put smiles on people’s faces!
:'''Grusha''': Oh, I see... Right. Yeah. Well, thanks.

===Katy and Saguaro===
:'''Katy''': Oh, if it isn’t my favorite customer—Mr. Saguaro! I just adore that adorable apron of yours!
:'''Saguaro''': Thank you, it’s my pride and joy! I spent a lot of time getting Jigglypuff’s face just right...
:'''Katy''': Oh, and your arms are so big! You must be a fiend with a whisk!
:'''Saguaro''': I, er... I’ve always put on muscle easily... Is this going somewhere?
:'''Katy''': Why don’t you come by Patisserie Soapberry sometime and put those muscles to use? Employees get to eat the sweets for free!
:'''Saguaro''': Free sweets, you say?! What a tantalizing proposition...
:'''Saguaro''': Alas, I have duties to attend to at the academy! Get it together, Saguaro! Don’t give in!

===Katy and Miriam===
:'''Miriam''': I really like that one sweet you make, Katy. The Tarountula-themed one...
:'''Katy''': Ah, the web macarons! They’re one of our more popular sweets at Patisserie Soapberry!
:'''Miriam''': They sure ARE! I’ve tried to snag some after work, but they’re always sold out...
:'''Katy''': We’re getting some new hires next month, so we’ll be able to make more! You should stop by!
:'''Miriam''': Huh?! For real?! Oh my gosh, that’s awesome!
:'''Miriam''': This is the best news ever! I’d better let Sagu know, too!

===Brassius and Iono===
:'''Iono''': Pleeease, Brassius! Won’tcha come guest it up on my stream?!
:'''Brassius''': My answer, naturally, is...no!
:'''Iono''': Awww, c’monnn! Throw the Iono Zone a bone! We Gym Leaders should all be friendos anyway!
:'''Brassius''': I have absolutely no interest in getting any closer to you.
:'''Brassius''': If you were a bit more avant-garde, the answer might be different.
:'''Iono''': Look, I gotta ask—what does “avant-garde” even mean? It’s been buggin’ me forever.
:'''Brassius''': The very fact you must ask shows how lacking in avant-garde you are! Yes, you lack that avant-garde...je ne sais quoi!

===Brassius and Kofu===
:'''Kofu''': Brassius, my boy! I see yer still scrawny as a twig! Gahaha!
:'''Brassius''': Creating art is an arduous affair...
:'''Brassius''': To create a true masterpiece requires sacrifice. It is only natural that it would sap my strength.
:'''Kofu''': I see, I see! But hear me out a bit...
:'''Kofu''': If ya eat good, hearty meals, you’d have more energy to give, am I right? I’m thinkin’ that’d help ya make even more of those masterpieces!
:'''Brassius''': That...is a compelling argument!
:'''Brassius''': I recall you are quite gifted in the culinary arts. Could you perhaps make something for me?
:'''Kofu''': Gahaha! Just sit tight, my boy! Ol’ man Kofu will get you sorted in no time!

===Brassius and Grusha===
:'''Grusha''': Hey, do you ever get scared that...like, y’know, all your talent will dry up some day?
:'''Brassius''': Of course, I experienced such fear long ago! But now, I am a stranger to fear altogether.
:'''Grusha''': How’s that...?
:'''Brassius''': I have faced my own death before. I perished once—as an artist.
:'''Brassius''': The fact that I still live feels like the greatest boon when I consider what I went through.
:'''Brassius''': And no matter the setback I may face, it is little more than a slight ache compared to that pain.
:'''Grusha''': Hrrmph.
:'''Brassius''': I suspected the same might be true for you, Grusha. Was I mistaken?
:'''Grusha''': It’s kinda uncool of you to act like you know what I’m going through, old man...

===Brassius and Raifort===
:'''Brassius''': Halt! That ancient relic you have there...
:'''Brassius''': It appears to be a piece of significant historical import...
:'''Raifort''': Oh, you can tell, can you? Very perceptive.
:'''Brassius''': Where did you get it? If that relic is what I think it is, it should not be in your possession...
:'''Raifort''': Ah, I just happened upon it a while back. And you...I’ve seen your face. You’re an artist, no?
:'''Brassius''': Indeed! And you have the bearing of a teacher— albeit one uncharacteristically light-fingered...
:'''Raifort''': Heh heh... I have no idea what you’re implying.
:'''Brassius''': Ho ho... You cannot fool my keen eyes.

===Brassius and Hassell===
:'''Hassel''': Thank you so much for your kind participation in my class the other day!
:'''Brassius''': Well, it would be unimaginable to turn down a request from my dear ol’ Hass.
:'''Hassel''': You know, I imagine you would make a fine teacher in your own right, Brassie.
:'''Brassius''': No, never... These impressionable youths would be too great a burden for me!
:'''Brassius''': Taking on the responsibility for such young, budding lives... It is a weight I could not bear.
:'''Hassel''': Indeed, being a teacher means shouldering the weight of that responsibility! I admit it’s not easy.
:'''Hassel''': But that is why watching the growth of my students makes me cry tears of joy!
:'''Brassius''': Truly, you were born to be a teacher, my dear Hass.

===Iono and Larry===
:'''Iono''': Yo, Larry! How come you don’t face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?
:'''Larry''': I prefer to keep a low profile...
:'''Larry''': If people knew my face, I’d run the risk of drawing crowds. That’d make it hard to get into restaurants—or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one.
:'''Iono''': Hwhaaa?! Hold up, back up! You DON’T want people to recognize you?
:'''Iono''': Wait—that’s not even the bonkeriest part! How’d you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!
:'''Larry''': Oh, that’s just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose...
:'''Iono''': Daaang. You’re adulting like a pro, Larry.

===Iono and Tulip===
:'''Tulip''': Nono, darling! Why haven’t I gotten an invite to collab on your stream lately?
:'''Iono''': Gweh! W-well, to be super honest...
:'''Iono''': If people see you and me together...they’ll start noticin’ all the ways you’re...better than me...
:'''Tulip''': Don’t you talk about my friend that way! Your beauty deserves to be shared!
:'''Iono''': Aw, Tulip! Stop! I can’t even!
:'''Tulip''': Ideal beauty is always possible! It’s there, just waiting to be realized!
:'''Tulip''': I’ll sign you up for a bunch of Emotional Spectrum Practices to get you started!
:'''Iono''': Uh, Tulip? Stop! I can’t even!

===Iono and Grusha===
:'''Grusha''': Iono of the Iono Zone, right?
:'''Iono''': Say whaaat?! Grusha, you know ’bout my streams?!
:'''Grusha''': I used to watch them before competitions and stuff, yeah. Cheered me up a lot.
:'''Grusha''': I’ve known about you since before you started doing that weird greeting thing.
:'''Iono''': Holy geez! You’ve been on board basically since day one! I’m thrilled—and kinda embarrassed!
:'''Grusha''': I think I like your older content better, if I’m being honest. You took more risks, y’know?
:'''Grusha''': Nowadays it feels like it’s all about gettin’ the most clicks—all the sponsorships and everything. Pretty uncool, if you ask me.
:'''Iono''': Ooof, you’re one of THOSE fans! This is why I quit reading the comments!

===Iono and Clavell===
:'''Iono''': I’m extremely sorry for causing you so much trouble...
:'''Clavell''': Oh, it’s quite all right. I rather enjoyed the whole affair.
:'''Iono''': Still, if I’d known you were the distinguished director of Paldea’s prestigious academy, I’d never have roped you into a livestream.
:'''Iono''': Let alone given you a silly nickname...that I repeated...a lot...
:'''Clavell''': Ah. You refer to Mr. Walksabout, I presume?
:'''Iono''': Erk. Y-yes. That one.
:'''Clavell''': Well, I actually thought the name “Walksabout” was rather charming and whimsical. I cannot deny it was an excellent moniker. You clearly have an aptitude for naming things.
:'''Iono''': P-please! Stop taking this so well! I’m gonna faint from sheer embarrassment!

===Iono and Salvatore===
:'''Salvatore''': Bonjour, mademoiselle Magnemite! How are you doing this lovely day?!
:'''Iono''': A friendo from another continento! ’Ello, ’ello, hola, ciao and bonjour! I’m from the Iono Zone!
:'''Salvatore''': Waouh! It’s you! The one who says ce méli-mélo de mots—the famed user of this mishmash!
:'''Salvatore''': What a chance this meeting is—en garde, Iono! Je m’appelle Salvatore. My name is Salvatore!
:'''Iono''': “En garde?!” Sounds like you’re out to battle, Monsewer Salvatore!
:'''Iono''': I’ll take you on. I just need a sec to set up my stream! Get me? I need time!
:'''Salvatore''': Tyme? Non non, I’m not Ms. Tyme—though I’m flattered you would mistake me for such a great beauty! Haha, je rigole! Just a little joke from me!
:'''Iono''': Dude! Even I can’t keep up with whatever this bit is you’re doing!

===Kofu and Larry===
:'''Kofu''': Larry! Just the foodie I wanted to see! I need yer input on somethin’!
:'''Larry''': Uh, I’m not sure if I’d call myself a “foodie”...
:'''Kofu''': I wanted to pick yer brains ’bout some ideas for a new dish at my restaurant!
:'''Larry''': ...A new dish, you say?
:'''Larry''': I’d warn against anything gimmicky, since that would only work in the short term.
:'''Larry''': Personally, I think you’d be better off maintaining the high quality of the dishes you already have...
:'''Larry''': But if I must suggest something, I have noticed that the Kofu Lounge lacks options for dessert.
:'''Kofu''': Vaultin’ Veluza! Ya make a good point! That’s exactly the kinda idea I needed!

===Kofu and Tulip===
:'''Tulip''': You tried out that hot new pose I taught you, right, Kofy?
:'''Kofu''': ’Course I did! Me an’ ''<player>'' tried it out together, in fact!
:'''Tulip''': Ooh! What a pair! I’d love to see how that pic turned out.
:'''Kofu''': Lucky for you, I’ve got it on hand! Look at li’l ol’ me there, almost fallin’ offa his/her hand...
:'''Tulip''': Pffft! Hahaha! I didn’t think YOU’D be the one in that part of the pose, Kofu!
:'''Tulip''': Though honestly, I think it turned out even better this way...
:'''Kofu''': Say, I know you... Yer one of them regulars at my little restaurant, aren’t ya?

===Kofu and Jacq===
:'''Jacq''': Oh my! Kofu from the Kofu Lounge, right?
:'''Kofu''': Ol’ man Kofu, at yer service! ’Preciate yer business, I do!
:'''Jacq''': Why, hello hello! The name’s Jacq.
:'''Kofu''': I gotta say, it’s a pleasure watchin’ ya polish off a big ol’ plate of my Dandan Noodles. You don’t even break a sweat!
:'''Jacq''': Aw shucks, you’re going to embarrass me, going on like that. I just love spicy food, that’s all.
:'''Jacq''': Sorry for always using up so much of that chili sauce you put out on the tables.
:'''Kofu''': Vaultin’ Veluza! Ya add MORE spice to ’em?! What a catch! What a great catch!

===Kofu and Saguaro===
:'''Saguaro''': Please do pardon my forwardness, but...you have quite an impressive physique.
:'''Kofu''': Why, you don’t look too shabby yerself! You do some kinda sport, or...?
:'''Saguaro''': I dabbled in wrestling during my school days. You?
:'''Kofu''': Vaultin’ Veluza! Wrestlin’, eh? I do a bit o’ sumo now and then myself. Just as a hobby, y’see!
:'''Saguaro''': Oh?! Sumo, you say?! Quite impressive!
:'''Kofu''': Oh, it’s nothin’. Gahahaha!
:'''Saguaro''': With that physique, it’s no wonder... Hehehe!

===Larry and Ryme===
:'''Larry''': Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the Montenevera battle court.
:'''Ryme''': Oh, yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too!
:'''Ryme''': That new battle court’s pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted.
:'''Ryme''': My sister loved her old rocky court, but my Houndstone couldn’t burrow into that!
:'''Larry''': Ah, I see... To be honest, though, that project was a huge boon to myself.
:'''Larry''': Without it, I would have landed zero contracts that year.
:'''Ryme''': Bahaha! Sure you’re not a Ghost-type user, Larry? Sometimes seems like you’re barely stayin’ alive!

===Larry and Rika===
:'''Rika''': C’mon, Larry! You gotta project more. Let’s start with a simple enunciation exercise!
:'''Rika''': UNIQUE UNOVA! YOU KNOW YOU NEED UNIQUE UNOVA!
:'''Larry''': Unique Unova... You know you need unique Unova...
:'''Rika''': What was that?! It’s like you’re not even trying!
:'''Larry''': Correct. I wasn’t trying.
:'''Rika''': Oooh, the nerve... I swear, you’re in for another lecture from Hassel.
:'''Larry''': So all I have to worry about is a scolding...? Let me know when my job’s at stake.
:'''Rika''': Uuugh! Hassel, you gotta come tag in for me! I’ve had it with this guy!

===Larry and Poppy===
:'''Poppy''': Mr. Laaarrrrrryyy!
:'''Larry''': What can I do for you, Poppy?
:'''Poppy''': Am I your best friend, Mr. Larry?
:'''Larry''': Errr...well...
:'''Larry''': Hm. I don’t think any answer is a good answer for this question.
:'''Poppy''': What was that, Mr. Larry?
:'''Larry''': Did you know, Poppy, that Komala spend their entire lives sleeping?
:'''Poppy''': Heeey! Don’t change the subject!
:'''Poppy''': Indecisive grown-ups are the worst, you know!
:'''Larry''': I got scolded anyway. I just can’t win...

===Larry and Hassel===
:'''Hassel''': Honestly, Larry! Always with the poor attitude! Is some enthusiasm too much to ask for?!
:'''Larry''': ... ... ...
:'''Hassel''': Larry? Larry! Are you even listening to me?!
:'''Larry''': If I answer honestly, will it make you angrier?
:'''Hassel''': ...What do you mean?
:'''Hassel''': Being honest is commendable! Why, it may help calm me down rather than make me angrier.
:'''Larry''': Well, I was asleep just now, actually.
:'''Hassel''': GRRRAAAGH!

===Larry and Geeta===
:'''Geeta''': You seem to be enjoying this business trip, Larry.
:'''Larry''': Huh? Well, I suppose...
:'''Larry''': It’s...part of my job, after all.
:'''Geeta''': I see... So you would happily travel anywhere, as long as it was for your job?
:'''Larry''': What? No, that’s not—
:'''Geeta''': As it just so happens, we’ve decided to send a Paldea League representative to a competition being held in a certain region.
:'''Geeta''': I took the liberty of recommending you for the role, Larry.
:'''Larry''': What did I do to deserve such a...lovely boss...

===Ryme and Grusha===
:'''Ryme''': Y’know that weird sushi joint we got up in Montenevera? High Roller?
:'''Grusha''': Yeah, I know the place. Never been, though.
:'''Ryme''': Well, everyone I see go in there to eat comes out lookin’ like they got one foot in the grave.
:'''Grusha''': Oof. Their sushi’s gotta be some kind of terrible if that’s the case.
:'''Ryme''': You said it, baby! So how about we go check out exactly what kind of terrible it is?
:'''Grusha''': I’ll be honest—I don’t get how you went from “it must be terrible” to “we should go check it out.”
:'''Ryme''': I gotta taste the fear, Grusha! Ain’t that what fear’s for?!
:'''Grusha''': Is that how it works...? Well, why not, I guess. Let’s check it out when I’m feeling up to it.

===Ryme and Raifort===
:'''Ryme''': Hold up, lady. You’re big-time haunted! There’s a ghost practically ridin’ piggyback on you!
:'''Raifort''': Is that so? I should have guessed. My shoulders have been unusually stiff recently.
:'''Ryme''': Baby, that spirit is vengeful like no other. What’d you do to get hexed that hard?
:'''Raifort''': Heh... If I had to guess...it probably happened when I snuck into that ancient tomb...
:'''Raifort''': Oh, but don’t mind my ramblings. I tend to get hexed a lot. It’s an occupational hazard.
:'''Ryme''': If you say so. I can go ahead and exorcise that ectoplasm, but...maybe take it easy on those jobs, all right?

===Ryme and Tyme===
:'''Tyme''': Ryme! How are you, dear? Have you been wearing that cardigan I knitted for you?
:'''Ryme''': Sis...you know I’m the MC of RIP, right?
:'''Ryme''': You really think a beige cardigan goes with, you know, my entire image?!
:'''Tyme''': Oh, where’s the harm! We’re both old ladies now.
:'''Tyme''': And it’s awfully cold in Montenevera! Don’t you know that the cold is a killer for the elderly?
:'''Ryme''': OK! Fine! I’ll wear it when I’m off the clock!
:'''Tyme''': Oh, I’m so glad! You’ll have to send me a photo of yourself wearing it. Promise me!

===Ryme and Geeta===
:'''Geeta''': A Gym specializing in Double Battles...
:'''Geeta''': I admit I had my concerns, at first. But I think now I must commend you, Ms. Ryme.
:'''Geeta''': Your new approach has accomplished so much. More than I can measure, in fact.
:'''Ryme''': Hah! That’s a cute sentiment. But I gotta say...
:'''Ryme''': Big talk when you won’t even darken my door! You let a kid do your Gym inspection tour!
:'''Ryme''': I think it’s time we let the moves do the talkin’! Face me, or face Paldea and start walkin’!
:'''Geeta''': Oh my. I didn’t expect to be treated to a live rap performance from the MC of RIP herself.
:'''Geeta''': That was amazing, indeed!
:'''Ryme''': Hmph! Never one to let yourself get pinned down, huh? You’re shrewd, Geeta...and I dig it.

===Tulip and Rika===
:'''Tulip''': I only ever see you alongside the ever-dazzling Geeta... I’m just realizing how lovely YOU are!
:'''Tulip''': How would you like to model for my company? Exclusively, of course!
:'''Rika''': Ahhh, I knew this beauty of mine would catch someone’s eye sooner or later...
:'''Tulip''': I can’t believe such a lovely canvas for my makeup was right in front of me all this time!
:'''Tulip''': My third eye must be absolutely stuck shut! Let alone the other two!
:'''Rika''': Er. I only see two eyes from where I’m standing. And sorry, but taking care of the boss is a full-time job. I can’t take on anything else...
:'''Tulip''': Well, darling, if you ever get tired of Geeta, my door’s always open.

===Tulip and Dendra===
:'''Dendra''': When did you say I’d get to stop helping out the Alfornada Gym?!
:'''Tulip''': Huh? I don’t remember saying you could stop...
:'''Dendra''': What?! You can’t be serious!
:'''Tulip''': Well, we never really nailed down an end date, did we?
:'''Tulip''': Come on, Dendra... What kind of teacher goes around breaking their word? That’s a no-no!
:'''Dendra''': Grrr... But YOU’RE the one who never clarified an end date! Why are you making it sound like it’s my fault?!
:'''Dendra''': OK, I demand a rematch to re-decide the terms of this agreement!
:'''Tulip''': If you say so... But this time, if you lose, you’ve got to do anything I say forever!
:'''Dendra''': Why do the stakes have to be so high for just me, Tulip?!

===Tulip and Miriam===
:'''Tulip''': I think I know who you are. You teach at the academy back in Paldea, don’t you?
:'''Miriam''': Y-yes, I do! But why do you know who I am, Ms. Tulip?!
:'''Tulip''': Well, Dendra told me that one of her coworkers was simply adorable.
:'''Tulip''': She MUST have meant you, darling!
:'''Miriam''': Um, th-thank you?! I don’t know why you can be so sure she was referring to me, but—
:'''Miriam''': Wait, you know Dendra?!
:'''Tulip''': Well, obvs. We’ve been the tightest of tight since way back.
:'''Miriam''': Really? I didn’t know that... I never get to talk about this kind of thing with her, though. She’s just too...energetic for me, sometimes.
:'''Tulip''': Yeah, she’s always been like that. It’s pretty cute, no?

===Tulip and Geeta===
:'''Geeta''': I’ve been informed about your impressive work as the Alfornada Gym Leader, Ms. Tulip.
:'''Tulip''': Oooh. Someone’s got an ear to the ground.
:'''Tulip''': But anyway, yes—I’m a firm believer in not slacking on what needs doing.
:'''Geeta''': How very admirable. Particularly since you are no doubt busy with your regular vocation.
:'''Tulip''': Well, I think YOU would know all about being busy, wouldn’t you, Geeta?
:'''Tulip''': In fact, I was thinking—why not just keep outsourcing your Gym inspections to ''<player>'' from now on? He/She did a really excellent job of it.
:'''Geeta''': To Champion ''<player>''? I would be only too happy to do so.

===Grusha and Rika===
:'''Grusha''': So, Ms. Rika—
:'''Rika''': Aw, don’t be stiff. Just call me Rika. Or maybe “good ol’ Rika” if you HAVE to be all respectful.
:'''Grusha''': Uh, nah... That’s way uncool...
:'''Grusha''': So, I wanted to ask you, Ms. Rika. Since you’re in the Pokémon League...
:'''Rika''': Uh-huh? Since good ol’ Rika’s in the Pokémon League...?
:'''Grusha''': You know what? Never mind.
:'''Rika''': Nahaha! Sorry, sorry!

===Grusha and Poppy===
:'''Poppy''': Wow, mister! Are you a prince from somewhere?
:'''Grusha''': Huh? Do you mean me...?
:'''Poppy''': Yes, I do!
:'''Poppy''': Why are you hiding your mouth like that?
:'''Grusha''': Oh, this? This is just to keep my neck warm...
:'''Poppy''': I think you should pull it down so people can see your whole face!
:'''Grusha''': Nah, it’s pretty chilly in here...
:'''Poppy''': But I wanna see your whole faaaaaace!
:'''Grusha''': ...OK. Fine. Just for a sec, though.
:'''Poppy''': Oh wow! You really ARE a prince!

===Rika and Poppy===
:'''Poppy''': Riiikaaa! I’m soooooo annoyed!
:'''Rika''': Whoa, what’s going on? I don’t often see you so riled up, Poppy.
:'''Poppy''': I came to Bloo-berry as part of our job! But people keep mistaking me for some lost kid!
:'''Rika''': Oh c’mon now, Poppy. You know that’s just ’cause...
:'''Rika''': you’re so gosh-darn adorable!
:'''Poppy''': Huh? People think you’re lost if you’re adorable?
:'''Rika''': That they do, squirt! Haven’t you ever heard that old saying? “If you adore something, lose it”! At least I think that’s how it goes. Pretty sure...
:'''Poppy''': Ooooooh, I see! Wow, you’re real smart, Rika!

===Rika and Salvatore===
:'''Rika''': So, what’s the haps?
:'''Salvatore''': Oh, I’m doing fine. I get along, pas à pas, step by step.
:'''Rika''': Nahaha! That’s good to hear!
:'''Salvatore''': And you? Comment vas-tu?
:'''Rika''': Ol’ Rika’s same as always—my energy’s super- high magnitude!
:'''Salvatore''': Hahaha! I’m pas surpris—not surprised at all— to hear such high spirits from this old Rika!
:'''Rika''': I know, right? Say, quick question... Who were you again?

===Rika and Hassel===
:'''Hassel''': Whenever I’m deeply moved, I can’t help myself—the tears just flow like waterfalls!
:'''Rika''': Aw, but that’s a good thing! It means you’ve got a warm, caring heart... I think?
:'''Hassel''': Ah, but I do waste so much time crying! If it weren’t for you, we’d never be able to finish any Elite Test!
:'''Rika''': Oh, don’t worry about it! I love talking and keeping things moving and all that!
:'''Hassel''': Is that so? I’m a little surprised—I’d have thought such duties would be painful for you.
:'''Hassel''': After all, you are normally rather prone to clowning around...
:'''Rika''': Wait, clowning around...?
:'''Rika''': I’m the only member of the Elite Four that gets anything done!

===Poppy and Hassel===
:'''Poppy''': Grandpa Haaasselll!
:'''Hassel''': Hello there, Poppy. Are you working hard as a coach?
:'''Poppy''': Yes, I am!
:'''Poppy''': I know I’m still small, but I’m doing my very, very best!
:'''Hassel''': Oh, I’m so proud of you, Poppy! You’re but a young child, and yet...
:'''Hassel''': You’re—*sniffle*—worgig so hard...wid all de adults... Such dedigashun...
:'''Hassel''': BWUUUH huh huh huh huh! HUUUUUUH huh hoi hoi hoi...
:'''Poppy''': Oh no! Another one of your crying fits, Grandpa Hassel?!
:'''Poppy''': There there, don’t cry. I’ll give you a hug!

===Poppy and Amarys===
:'''Poppy''': All your Pokémon are tough as steel, Amarys!
:'''Amarys''': That’s right. Steely as a Metagross.
:'''Amarys''': Is that not true for you as well, Poppy?
:'''Poppy''': It is! I’m a girl of steel, after all!
:'''Amarys''': Haha... Yes, your Tinkaton is indeed wonderful.
:'''Poppy''': Yay! Your Skarmory’s also really tough! And your Empoleon too!

===Poppy and Lacey===
:'''Lacey''': Wait—what’s a little girl doing here?!
:'''Poppy''': I’m Poppy! Nice to meet you!
:'''Lacey''': Oh! Um, yes, it’s very nice to meet you. You’re such a well-mannered child...
:'''Poppy''': I’m an Elite Four member too! I’m here as part of my job!
:'''Lacey''': WHAT?! A-a child like you is...? But you’re... you’re...you’re just TOO CUTE!
:'''Lacey''': Do you want some juice, Poppy? Or maybe a cookie? Do you like cookies?
:'''Poppy''': I love cookies! I’ll gladly have some!

===Clavell and Jacq===
:'''Clavell''': You must remember that you are representing our storied academy at all times.
:'''Clavell''': Do you really feel it is acceptable to do so looking like you’ve just rolled out of bed? And good gracious, are those SANDALS you’re wearing?!
:'''Jacq''': Hehe, whoopsie. I promise I’ll remember to put on something more professional next time...
:'''Clavell''': I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear anything that could be described as “professional,” Jacq.
:'''Clavell''': Do you even iron that lab coat of yours? From the stains splattered across the fabric, could it be that you don’t even launder—
:'''Jacq''': C-come on, Director! Please! Have mercy!

===Clavell and Raifort===
:'''Raifort''': Traveled all the way here to keep an eye on me, did you?
:'''Clavell''': Ah. You seem displeased. Is my presence inconveniencing you in some way, Ms. Raifort?
:'''Raifort''': Not at all. You know me—I’m only interested in being the best teacher I can be.
:'''Clavell''': Well, that is certainly good to hear.
:'''Clavell''': As long as I breathe, I will be sure that you continue to fulfill your duties as a teacher. A good, honest occupation—wouldn’t you agree, Ms. Raifort?
:'''Raifort''': Heh, wasting your time on me... You really take to interesting hobbies, don’t you, old man?
:'''Raifort''': Though I admit I am fond of your way of thinking. It’s charmingly...traditional.

===Clavell and Tyme===
:'''Tyme''': Mr. Clavell, I must apologize again for what happened the other day...
:'''Tyme''': I was entirely in the wrong for failing to knock. Your office is your own private space, of course.
:'''Clavell''': N-no, that’s quite all right. I truly am sorry to have startled you with such an unbecoming scene.
:'''Tyme''': No, please! I should have been more careful!
:'''Clavell''': Really, Ms. Tyme, I do not see it that way at all. The blame for this incident lies squarely with me.
:'''Tyme''': You’re sure? Well, if you are, I did have a few questions about what I saw that day...
:'''Tyme''': What were you doing dressed up in a student’s uniform, all alone in your office? And why were you wearing that wig?
:'''Clavell''': A-ah, well, you see...it’s a rather long story...

===Clavell and Dendra===
:'''Dendra''': Hello, Director! Osu! You sure are looking lively today!
:'''Clavell''': The same to you, Ms. Dendra. You seem splendidly energetic as always.
:'''Dendra''': Hahaha! Well...
:'''Dendra''': Bein’ energetic is my thing!
:'''Clavell''': I see you have a clear understanding of your own strengths—a valuable asset, indeed.
:'''Clavell''': Please do share some of that overflowing energy with the students of Blueberry Academy, too.
:'''Dendra''': Osu!

===Clavell and Penny===
:'''Clavell''': How are you finding life back at our academy since your return, Miss Penny?
:'''Penny''': Huh? Like, in what way...?
:'''Clavell''': Well, are you having any difficulties with your studies or other school activities?
:'''Penny''': Uhhh... Studying’s never any trouble for me.
:'''Penny''': And I’m having fun hanging out with everyone in Team Star, so that’s been great. Oh! And I also got to go on a trip with ''<player>'' and some other friends!
:'''Clavell''': Oho! It sounds like you’re enjoying your time at the academy a great deal, then.
:'''Penny''': Ah. There is one thing—helping out at the Pokémon League has been pretty tough. Chairwoman Geeta literally terrifies me!
:'''Penny''': She’s, like, SO intense. Even when she’s smiling! Is there any way you could help me out with her?
:'''Clavell''': I’m afraid that’s...quite beyond my power.

===Jacq and Raifort===
:'''Jacq''': You really are something, Ms. Raifort!
:'''Jacq''': I can’t believe you were able to figure out where those Pokémon had been sealed away just from those old writings you found!
:'''Raifort''': Heh... It proved to be simplicity itself, once I followed the clues of history.
:'''Raifort''': But in the end, it turned out that a crook like myself could never have opened the seals. So I let a friend have the treasure.
:'''Jacq''': So you formed a hypothesis based on clues, then put it to the test. I suppose history and biology are similar in that way.
:'''Raifort''': Speaking of testing things... I was just considering testing out the effects of a certain ancient ritual.
:'''Raifort''': It just so happens that I need an adult male as a sacri—I mean, assistant. Care to help out?
:'''Jacq''': I’d love to help! Count me in!

===Jacq and Tyme===
:'''Tyme''': Indeed, there’s nothing so difficult as knowing how best to correct a student’s behavior...
:'''Jacq''': Wait, even you struggle with it, Ms. Tyme?!
:'''Tyme''': Of course! There’s no teacher out there who takes pleasure in having to scold a child.
:'''Tyme''': But sometimes it must be done—even if it makes the children hate you. It’s our duty as the ones tasked with their education and development.
:'''Jacq''': I suppose...
:'''Jacq''': Hmmm. I don’t really like doing it, but I guess I’ve got to do my best! Thank you, Ms. Tyme.
:'''Tyme''': Don’t give up, Mr. Jacq! You can do it!

===Jacq and Salvatore===
:'''Salvatore''': Mr. Jacq! Mon sauveur! I still have not thanked you enough for the help you did me and Pawmi!
:'''Jacq''': Wow, really? I’m glad to hear I was a help. And how has your little Pawmi been doing since then?
:'''Salvatore''': Pawmi is doing très bien. Every day, it comes to my classes together with me.
:'''Salvatore''': It’s still plutôt timide—quite shy!—but it has begun to use its voice from time to time.
:'''Salvatore''': In fact, it’s created a bit of a stir among my students. They say that anyone who hears its cry will have the greatest of luck!
:'''Jacq''': Amazing! Sounds like Pawmi’s become quite the star!

===Jacq and Miriam===
:'''Jacq''': Thank you for always patching me up when I take a tumble, Nurse Miriam...
:'''Miriam''': Oh, it’s no big deal!
:'''Miriam''': I mean, it’s not like I’m just gonna stand there when you take a fall like that right in front of me.
:'''Jacq''': Haha... I guess not.
:'''Miriam''': But honestly...you really oughta be more careful, Mr. Jacq!
:'''Miriam''': I think the only person who gets more scraped up than you is Dendra...
:'''Jacq''': Oooh! You mean when it comes to injuries, I’m in second place?!
:'''Jacq''': I guess I’ll need to work hard to reach the top! Right, Nurse Miriam?
:'''Miriam''': If you’re gonna crack jokes about it, you can get scuffed up for all I care! Be serious!
:'''Jacq''': Yes, ma’am...

===Raifort and Tyme===
:'''Tyme''': Ms. Raifort, will you be attending next week’s staff meeting?
:'''Raifort''': Put me down as absent, please.
:'''Raifort''': I’d much rather spend my time contemplating ancient wisdom.
:'''Tyme''': Oh, how sad to hear. We do always miss your presence at our meetings...
:'''Tyme''': I’d love for you to come and give us all a nice long talk about history.
:'''Raifort''': Oh? So you are interested in history?
:'''Raifort''': Heh... My dear lady, I misjudged you. You may be worth my time, after all.
:'''Raifort''': Perhaps it would not be amiss for me to converse with my elders from time to time...
:'''Tyme''': Oh, wonderful! Then I’ll be sure to mark you down as attending!

===Raifort and Saguaro===
:'''Saguaro''': You seem unusually tired today, Ms. Raifort.
:'''Raifort''': Is it that obvious? I was hoping nobody would notice... Heh...
:'''Raifort''': Don’t fret about me. I was simply up late last night doing research.
:'''Raifort''': I was reading my way through a stack of 20 or so history books in the academy entrance hall, and when I looked up, it was suddenly morning.
:'''Saguaro''': Oho... You’re quite devoted to your work.
:'''Saguaro''': I imagine you’ve spent many a night like that, cultivating the knowledge to guide your students.
:'''Raifort''': What are you going on about? It’s my hobby. Nothing to do with my work at all.
:'''Saguaro''': ... ... ...
:'''Raifort''': And now why are you silent, all of a sudden?

===Tyme and Miriam===
:'''Tyme''': Nurse Miriam, I haven’t had the chance to offer my congratulations on your certification!
:'''Miriam''': Oh, thank you so, so, so much, Ms. Tyme!
:'''Tyme''': Will you start teaching classes next school year? Everyone is looking forward to it!
:'''Miriam''': Yes, I will! I’ll try my best not to cause the rest of the teachers any trouble!
:'''Tyme''': Oh, goodness, how sweet! You’ll be the angel of the entire academy, not just the nurse’s office!
:'''Miriam''': Don’t you start with that “angel” stuff, too, Ms. Tyme! You’re not safe from my wrath!

===Tyme and Penny===
:'''Tyme''': Penny, dear! You were the only one to get a perfect score on our last test!
:'''Penny''': Huh? Oh. Cool...
:'''Penny''': I mean...it wasn’t all that hard.
:'''Tyme''': I even added some trick questions, but they didn’t catch you for a moment. It’s very impressive.
:'''Penny''': Actually, it’s pretty easy to tell which of your questions are the trick ones...
:'''Penny''': Some of the other teachers, well...they make tests with trick questions that are flat-out mean.
:'''Tyme''': Oh! So that means you think I’m nice, then? Well, I’m delighted to hear it!
:'''Penny''': Huh? Errr. I...guess?
:'''Penny''': I mean, well, you’re not one of my least favorite teachers...
:'''Tyme''': I adore you as well, my dear!

===Salvatore and Dendra===
:'''Salvatore''': Bonjour, Ms. Dendra! You seem to be in high spirits as usual!
:'''Dendra''': Osu, Mr. Salvatore!
:'''Salvatore''': You know what? I had a question for you, in fact. Si je peux?
:'''Salvatore''': I’ve long wondered about the definition of that word you always say—“Osu”!
:'''Dendra''': The definition...of osu?!
:'''Dendra''': It’s a bit hard to explain, actually...
:'''Salvatore''': It seems to be something like a greeting you can use à tout moment—anytime, day or night. Is that not so?
:'''Dendra''': Now that you mention it, it is used a lot as a greeting, but...
:'''Dendra''': It hypes you up! That’s the word I was looking for! It fills you with fighting spirit!
:'''Salvatore''': Splendid... So it fills you with the fighting spirit. L’esprit combatif... Could I also partake in it?
:'''Dendra''': Yeah, let’s osu it up! Smash through your limits!
:'''Salvatore''': Then I will join you! Osu!

===Salvatore and Miriam===
:'''Miriam''': What’s your wife like, Salvatore?
:'''Salvatore''': Oh! Nurse Miriam! You’re curious about ma femme—my dear wife?
:'''Miriam''': Of course! Don’t you know that all the students are gossiping about what she might be like?
:'''Salvatore''': Ma femme has eyes so big and round! And cheeks so lovely and soft!
:'''Miriam''': Uh-huh, uh-huh! What about her personality?
:'''Salvatore''': Well, she is a little shy, but she is always clinging to my legs so adorably.
:'''Miriam''': Clinging...to your legs? What do you...?
:'''Salvatore''': Oops, that’s not my wife I’m describing—that’s just Pawmi! Hahaha! Funny, no?
:'''Miriam''': Your wife must be nice if she’s willing to go along with these antics...

===Salvatore and Arven===
:'''Arven''': Mr. Salvatore! I didn’t realize you were here too!
:'''Salvatore''': Waouh! My dear Arven! Did you come all this way just to meet me?
:'''Arven''': Oh, uh, no... Not really...
:'''Arven''': But since you’re here and all, can you help me with some of my homework?!
:'''Salvatore''': Bien sûr! Of course I will!
:'''Salvatore''': I’ve noticed that you are much more passionné— that is, passionate—about your studies lately. Is there some cause for the sudden change?
:'''Arven''': Yeah...I guess you could say that!
:'''Arven''': I’ve got friends now that I wanna be on the same level with. I don’t wanna be dragging them down!
:'''Salvatore''': The same level? Oh, like in les jeux vidéo— the video games! These are friends you play les video games with, non? How nice for you!
:'''Arven''': Ah, man... I don’t think we’re understanding one another here, are we?

===Dendra and Saguaro===
:'''Saguaro''': I trust that your culinary training has been going swimmingly since we last spoke?
:'''Dendra''': Actually, I reached my goal, so I’m taking a break from my training!
:'''Saguaro''': Oh, is that so? In that case all is well, I suppose...
:'''Saguaro''': If you ever need assistance in your culinary pursuits, I’m just a shout away.
:'''Saguaro''': Just let me know when you are ready to begin your training again.
:'''Dendra''': You’ll help me train?! You sure?! Well, no time like the present—let’s get started!
:'''Dendra''': I wanna do some squats but need some extra weight! Why don’tcha get on my back?!
:'''Saguaro''': Have you been listening to anything I’ve been saying?!

===Dendra and Miriam===
:'''Miriam''': Thanks for that sandwich you made me, by the way.
:'''Miriam''': It was all right, I guess? Not too bad.
:'''Dendra''': Really?! Yesss! I’m so happy you enjoyed my cooking!
:'''Dendra''': It must have been real tasty, seeing how you were crying tears of joy and everything!
:'''Miriam''': I wasn’t THAT happy! Pump the brakes a little, Dendra!
:'''Miriam''': So...when’s the next...uh, “meal”?
:'''Dendra''': Huh?! Well, I mean, I’m done with my sandwich training now...
:'''Miriam''': Huh? Done? Just like that?
:'''Miriam''': Do you...maybe wanna make some sandwiches together sometime?
:'''Dendra''': No way! Miriam’s handmade sandwiches?!
:'''Dendra''': I’m so pumped! I’m gonna work up an appetite starting now!
:'''Miriam''': We’re making them TOGETHER! You better do your part too, Dendra!

===Dendra and Nemona===
:'''Nemona''': Hey, Ms. Dendra! I really wanna get stronger. Can you help me?
:'''Dendra''': Even stronger than you are now?! Haha, typical Nemona!
:'''Dendra''': As long as you keep that attitude, you’ll get stronger for sure!
:'''Nemona''': Heh. Thanks for saying so!
:'''Nemona''': So, I know you taught us three main points: a well-balanced party, moves for every scenario, and knowing when to Terastallize! What else should I be looking out for?!
:'''Dendra''': There’s one more thing... Hot-blooded power!
:'''Nemona''': Power? And it’s hot-blooded? Whoa!
:'''Dendra''': That power will come in real clutch when you’re up against the ropes!
:'''Nemona''': I think I get it!
:'''Dendra''': Train up that hot-blooded power, and obliterate your limits! Osu!!!
:'''Nemona''': Heck yeah! Osu!!!

===Hassel and Geeta===
:'''Geeta''': Hassel... Is there anything troubling you regarding the day-to-day operations of the League?
:'''Hassel''': Anything troubling me?
:'''Hassel''': Hmm, well... The bell that tells us when it’s time to enter the Elite Test room has been broken for a while. It would be nice to get that fixed.
:'''Geeta''': Ah, yes... It’s been several months since it broke now, hasn’t it? I apologize for the inconvenience.
:'''Geeta''': I have already contacted the repair crew, but their schedule is unfortunately completely full...
:'''Hassel''': I suppose everyone is very busy nowadays.
:'''Hassel''': It’s not a high priority, to be honest. We just shout to the next Elite Four member when it’s their turn to battle. It’s just that—
:'''Geeta''': Say no more, Hassel.
:'''Geeta''': The problem is Larry, correct?

===Hassel and Nemona===
:'''Nemona''': Hey, Mr. Hassel! Did I tell you I’ve been training a Kommo-o?
:'''Hassel''': Ah, the Scaly Pokémon Kommo-o! A unique dragon indeed!
:'''Nemona''': Yeah! I met it in Kitakami—and it’s awesome! I wanna try all kinds of strats with it!
:'''Hassel''': Then allow me to offer some advice!!!
:'''Hassel''': You must utilize its sturdy defenses and use Clangorous Soul the first chance you get!
:'''Hassel''': Accomplish that, and the scaly dragon will indeed become your key to victory!
:'''Nemona''': All right! I LOVE victory!
:'''Nemona''': I’ve been thinking a lot about what other moves to teach it! Can I run ’em by you?
:'''Hassel''': I would be more than happy to offer my input.

===Hassel and Drayton===
:'''Hassel''': Why, if it isn’t young Drayton! I didn’t know you were a member of this club.
:'''Drayton''': Gwuh! Mr. Hassel?!
:'''Hassel''': Your grandfather Drayden informed me that you were forced to repeat a year of school... Several years, in fact!
:'''Drayton''': Yeesh. Thanks for letting the whole world know, Grandpa...
:'''Drayton''': Fine, so I got held back a couple times! It is what it is, all right?
:'''Drayton''': Doesn’t life have room for taking a stroll on the scenic path sometimes?
:'''Hassel''': Indeed. But studying is also an excellent way to broaden said path, is it not?
:'''Hassel''': I am not suggesting you should desperately try to live up to the expectations of others.
:'''Hassel''': I simply hope that you spend your days as a student in a way that you do not regret later on.
:'''Drayton''': *sigh* I get it, Mr. Hassel, I get it. Please just give it a rest already.

===Saguaro and Miriam===
:'''Miriam''': Pssst, Sagu, did you try the...y’know...?
:'''Saguaro''': Are you referring to Kanto Crepes’ limited-time dish, the banana deluxe crepe?
:'''Miriam''': Yeah! But wait... Are you OK discussing it out in the open like this? What if someone hears?
:'''Saguaro''': A certain student urged me to no longer be so hush-hush about my love for sweets.
:'''Saguaro''': I’ve decided to embrace my sweet tooth! I will no longer be ashamed!
:'''Miriam''': Oh, that’s great!
:'''Miriam''': So that means the next time we go on a sweets tour, you don’t need to go out in disguise!
:'''Saguaro''': Indeed! I’m free to enjoy fine sweets in my regular attire!
:'''Miriam''': I don’t think the disguise did much anyway... Not too many people are built like you.

===Saguaro and Arven===
:'''Saguaro''': Arven, my boy, how’s it going with that dish you’ve been working on?
:'''Arven''': I think it’s really coming along, thanks to some help from ''<player>''!
:'''Arven''': I’ve been able to make some real standout sandwiches, thanks to all your lessons!
:'''Saguaro''': Splendid. I’m happy to hear it.
:'''Arven''': Y’know, that stuff you taught in class was really true.
:'''Saguaro''': Hm? What are you referring to?
:'''Arven''': Like, how making food is better when you do it with someone, and all that.
:'''Arven''': Digging in with my best buds makes food taste so much better than eating alone!

===Geeta and Nemona===
:'''Nemona''': Hola, Primera! You sure shook up your party, huh?
:'''Geeta''': Well, of course. I am La Primera, after all. How could I set an example for other Trainers if I don’t keep pushing myself to become stronger?
:'''Nemona''': That checks out! I better keep up the pace, too!
:'''Geeta''': Well, I don’t plan on slowing down until I hand over the role of Top Champion to you...or indeed to Champion ''<player>''.
:'''Nemona''': Nooo! C’mon, Primera, don’t talk about that!
:'''Nemona''': I’d rather you just stayed Primera forever!
:'''Geeta''': Hah... If that’s the case, it seems I won’t be able to retire for a good while yet.

===Geeta and Penny===
:'''Geeta''': Why hello there, Penny. I didn’t realize you were here.
:'''Penny''': Ch-Chairwoman Geeta?!
:'''Geeta''': Are you here to study and analyze this academy’s BP system?
:'''Penny''': Uh, no... ''<player>'' invited me, so I just dropped by to hang out...
:'''Geeta''': Oh, is that so? My, my...
:'''Penny''': ... ... ...
:'''Geeta''': ... ... ...
:'''Geeta''': I am very glad to hear that. It seems you are indeed treasuring your friends, as you should.
:'''Penny''': Ohmygosh, my heart literally stopped! I thought I was in trouble for sure!
:'''Penny''': Please—you gotta stop with the ominous pauses! My poor heart can’t take it!

===Geeta and Drayton===
:'''Geeta''': I’m pleased to meet you properly.
:'''Geeta''': Drayton—progeny of a long line of Dragon-type users, if I’m not mistaken.
:'''Drayton''': Hang on. Pretty sure I never mentioned that to you.
:'''Geeta''': Ah, I beg your pardon.
:'''Geeta''': But I am curious... What do you see yourself doing in the future, Drayton?
:'''Drayton''': I doubt I’m the guy you want to ask about future stuff.
:'''Drayton''': All I really care about is enjoying the here and now.
:'''Drayton''': So if you’re scouting out new League members, you may wanna bark up another tree.
:'''Geeta''': You see through my intentions, apparently.
:'''Geeta''': I suppose your free-spirited nature is part of what makes you so strong.

===Nemona and Arven===
:'''Nemona''': Aaarveeen! Did I hear right that a certain floppy- haired pal of mine started taking on Gyms?!
:'''Arven''': Gah! You’re the last person I wanted to find out about that!
:'''Arven''': But...well, yeah! Figured I’d start small and try one now and then, in between school and all.
:'''Nemona''': Niiice! That’s a perfect first step on your path to becoming Champion Arven!
:'''Arven''': No way! There’s no way I’m taking it that far!
:'''Arven''': It’s just, like...I dunno. I want to be able to stand beside my best bud and feel like I belong there.
:'''Nemona''': Oh, whoa! OK, I get it, I get it!
:'''Nemona''': So what I’m hearing is we should battle for the right to be ''<player>''’s rival!
:'''Arven''': See?! This is why I didn’t want you to find out! I knew you’d be like this, you battle maniac!

===Nemona and Penny===
:'''Nemona''': So, Penny, which do you like better—our academy back home or Blueberry Academy?
:'''Penny''': Hmm. Well, they both get minus points since schools aren’t my happy place...
:'''Penny''': But if I had to pick, all the battle-obsessed students here make it feel way too intense, so our academy back home gets my vote!
:'''Nemona''': Aw, what’s wrong with a little battle obsession? It’s fun!
:'''Penny''': So you prefer Blueberry Academy, then?
:'''Nemona''': Whoof. That’s a tough call...
:'''Nemona''': But I think I gotta give it to our academy back home, too!
:'''Penny''': Ooh. How come?
:'''Nemona''': Well, we’ve got our battle studies course, and our teachers are super nice!
:'''Nemona''': And I’d never have met you and ''<player>'' if we hadn’t enrolled there, too!
:'''Penny''': Huh... Yeah. Can’t argue with that.

===Nemona and Lacey===
:'''Lacey''': Oh, Nemona! It’s been far too long! I don’t think we’ve met since that party, have we?
:'''Nemona''': Whoooa! Lacey, right?! Good to see you!
:'''Nemona''': I can’t believe you remembered my name from just that one time we met! That’s awesome!
:'''Lacey''': Oh, no, it’s no more impressive than you remembering my name in return! And besides, how could I forget you!
:'''Lacey''': You created such a stir, challenging my daddy to a battle right there in your fancy party dress!
:'''Nemona''': Yeah, I’m really sorry about that. Once I heard he was a Gym Leader, I just couldn’t help myself...
:'''Nemona''': But Daddy was so pleased with you!
:'''Lacey''': Do you know what he said? “Nothin’ wrong with a young missy who knows what she wants!” Hehe!
:'''Nemona''': Haha! Aww, I’m glad! Clay’s very kind!

===Nemona and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': Hey, Nemona, how’d you get so strong?
:'''Nemona''': Awww! You called me strong! Thanks, Carmine!
:'''Carmine''': Wha—? No, I wasn’t complimenting you. I was asking you a question! What’s your secret?
:'''Nemona''': My secret? Hmm... My secret...
:'''Nemona''': I guess working really hard and training my Pokémon really hard!
:'''Carmine''': Oh come on, I already do all that!
:'''Carmine''': Sheesh, all I wanted was to get real strong real fast and surprise ''<player>''... Guess it’s not that easy.
:'''Nemona''': Oooh, I dig the idea, though! Why don’t you and I do some training together!
:'''Carmine''': Sure, but you’re way too strong, so...y’know...
:'''Nemona''': Say no more—I know exactly what you want! Max power mode! The gloves are comin’ off!
:'''Carmine''': That’s not what I was asking at all!

===Nemona and Kieran===
:'''Nemona''': Man, Kieran, I can’t believe how fast you blasted your way through the BB League and became Champion!
:'''Kieran''': Um, yeah...
:'''Kieran''': But it turns out I’m just no good...
:'''Nemona''': Whaaat?! What makes you say that?
:'''Kieran''': I only thought about winning back then.
:'''Kieran''': I trained and trained so much every day... I barely slept, and I hardly even ate.
:'''Kieran''': I did all that and finally made it to Champion, but in the end, I just got crushed anyway.
:'''Nemona''': I dunno about that, but I do know that it’s awesome how dedicated you can be!
:'''Nemona''': It must mean you really love Pokémon, Kieran!
:'''Kieran''': Huh... I guess I do like them. And that’s why I worked so hard...
:'''Kieran''': I feel a bit better about it now. Thanks, Nemona.
:'''Nemona''': Aw, don’t worry about it!

===Arven and Penny===
:'''Arven''': You’re eating your vegetables, right?! Don’t make me tell you again!
:'''Penny''': Ehh. It’s not like I’ll die if I don’t eat them, so what’s the point?
:'''Arven''': Seriously? Penny, you do know that you NEED to eat veggies, right? Like—seriously?!
:'''Penny''': ...You’re being weirdly insistent about this. What’s the worst that could happen?
:'''Arven''': Your body could get all...mushy and stuff! Till you might seriously die! I’ve read about it in books!
:'''Penny''': Wait, what? Seriously?! I’m gonna need to see your source here, Arven!
:'''Arven''': My...sauce? So if I put some sauce on your veggies, you’ll eat them?!
:'''Penny''': No, that’s not... Ugh, never mind. Just tell me if that mushy-body thing is actually real! Here, I’ll even eat a carrot or something right now—just hurry up and tell me the truth!!!

===Arven and Crispin===
:'''Arven''': So, seriously, why do you always carry that frying pan around?
:'''Crispin''': What kinda question is that? It’s so I can always cook if I want to, duh!
:'''Crispin''': I even hug it as I go to sleep every night!
:'''Arven''': It’s not like you can cook while you’re sleeping, but...sure?
:'''Crispin''': Hey, you’re carrying around a big ol’ rucksack too! It’s full of camping gear, yeah?!
:'''Arven''': Oh! You noticed? Looks like you’re quite the bright little spark yourself!
:'''Arven''': With this handy bag of mine, I can do more than just whip up a meal anytime I want—I’m ready to camp out under the stars anywhere I like!
:'''Crispin''': Under the stars?! Like, you just sleep outdoors? Wow, no way! That’s so cool!

===Arven and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': So, anything to spill about any, you know...special feelings? Between you and anybody else in your little Paldea crew, I mean.
:'''Arven''': Special feelings...? Oh! Yeah, you know what— there was something!
:'''Carmine''': For real? There was?! W-well, can you tell me about it?
:'''Arven''': So, we were all jumping on Koraidon's{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon's{{sup/9|V}} back to dive down into the Great Crater, you know?
:'''Carmine''': Uh-huh? Go on!
:'''Arven''': Man, taking a leap into the open air above Area Zero like that—talk about a special feeling!
:'''Carmine''': Oh, sheesh, what an anticlimax! You innocent little thing...

===Arven and Kieran===
:'''Kieran''': Your partner Mabosstiff is really special to you, huh?
:'''Arven''': That’s right! He and I’ve been best buds since I was a little kid and he was just a little Maschiff!
:'''Kieran''': Hey, that’s just like me and my Hydrapple! It’s been with me since it was a li’l Applin.
:'''Arven''': So is Hydrapple your best bud?
:'''Kieran''': Hmmm, well... My Poliwrath and Politoed are pretty special to me, too... Oh, and I really like my Yanmega.
:'''Kieran''': Aw man, and Furret’s also a precious pal of mine. I guess I just can’t pick a favorite...
:'''Arven''': Hey, that’s fine! There’s nothing wrong with thinking every one of your Pokémon is the best!
:'''Kieran''': Hehehe... I guess that’s an option too, huh?

===Penny and Lacey===
:'''Lacey''': You sent out a Sylveon earlier, didn’t you? It’s just too cute, isn’t it?!
:'''Penny''': GAH! Wuh? Wh-who are you?!
:'''Lacey''': Oh! I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist! My name is Lacey, and I can’t help myself around cute things!
:'''Penny''': Sorry. You just kinda...surprised me there...
:'''Penny''': Um! But you said my Sylveon was cute, right? Th-thanks...
:'''Lacey''': Oh, of course! Cute things are a treasure meant to be shared with all!
:'''Penny''': I, uh...don’t really get what you mean by that, but...my other Veevees are pretty cute, too. Wanna see?
:'''Lacey''': Oh my gosh, do I ever!

===Penny and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': Hey, Penny, you’re pretty good with machines and stuff, right?
:'''Penny''': Better than most... What’s up?
:'''Carmine''': I wanna get a new profile pic. Do you think you can take a shot of me real quick?
:'''Penny''': Well, THAT’S a whole different skill than being good with machines! Why d’you want me to do it, anyway?
:'''Carmine''': I mean, if I’m gonna update the pic, I might as well get an amazing one from someone who knows what they’re doing, right?
:'''Penny''': Huh... But you know you’ll get pretty much the same result no matter who takes the pic, right?
:'''Penny''': I mean, at least on the outside, you’re really pretty, so—
:'''Carmine''': Huh? Wait, what did you just say? That last bit in particular.
:'''Penny''': I said you’re really pretty, so it doesn’t matter who takes the ph—
:'''Carmine''': Oooh, music to my ears! One more time! Repeat it for me, come on!
:'''Penny''': Uggghhh! Why are you like this?!

===Penny and Kieran===
:'''Penny''': So, errr... Nice weather...don’t you think?
:'''Kieran''': I-is it? I’ve been inside all day, so I dunno...
:'''Penny''': A-ah, yeah, that’s true! My bad!
:'''Penny''': Looks like we’re not ready for casual one-on-one chats just yet, huh...
:'''Kieran''': Hehe... Yeah, guess not.
:'''Penny''': B-but it’s not like I don’t want to hang out with you! I really want us to get along!
:'''Kieran''': Me too! We’re friends now, after all!
:'''Penny''': Y-yeah! We sure are!

===Crispin and Amarys===
:'''Crispin''': Hey, Amarys! Can I have some of those supplements that let Pokémon fly?
:'''Amarys''': ...Why do you want them?
:'''Crispin''': ’Cause I wanna fly?!
:'''Amarys''': ...And why do you want to fly?
:'''Crispin''': ’Cause flying sounds like fun?!
:'''Amarys''': ...I don’t follow you. Permission to use flying supplements denied.
:'''Crispin''': Aw, c’mon! You’re such a wet blanket! I wanna go flying on Magmortar!
:'''Amarys''': ...That’s absurd.

===Crispin and Lacey===
:'''Lacey''': You seem to be fired up again today, Crispin.
:'''Crispin''': Well, yeah! I had a big, hearty meal and everything!
:'''Lacey''': Hee hee! Growing boys do eat quite a lot, don’t they?
:'''Crispin''': You bet! We’re always hungry, all the time!
:'''Lacey''': What, even right after you eat? That makes no sense, silly!
:'''Lacey''': Oh, but what was it you wanted to talk to me about?
:'''Crispin''': Oh, uh, right! Right, yeah, well... I wanted to tell you, uh... See...maybe you and I could, y’know...
:'''Crispin''': Uhhh, never mind! Not today! I’ll tell you another time! Heh heh... Heh...
:'''Lacey''': Ah, this again? Honestly...

===Crispin and Drayton===
:'''Crispin''': Hey, Drayton! You were up to somethin’ behind the scenes, weren’t you?!
:'''Drayton''': Whoa-ho. That came out of nowhere. What do you think I was doing?
:'''Crispin''': Like...I dunno, it’s hard for me to explain, but... you roped in ''<player>'', and, uh...
:'''Drayton''': Oooh, you’re on the right track! Keep it up!
:'''Crispin''': You wanted to, like, get the League Club back to the way it was...? And...something about Kieran?
:'''Drayton''': Whoa, that’s...actually pretty solid! One last leap, Crispin. You can do it!
:'''Crispin''': Gaaahhh, I give up! I’m not good at usin’ my head like this!
:'''Drayton''': Aww, so close.
:'''Crispin''': My point is! You need to stop playin’ the villain, Drayton! Otherwise people are actually gonna start thinkin’ you ARE a bad guy!
:'''Crispin''': Next time, if you wanna cook up a scheme, at least talk to me about it!
:'''Drayton''': Heh heh heh. Fair point, buddy.

===Crispin and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': Hey, Crispin... You’re in the same class as Kiki, right?
:'''Crispin''': Yep! Same class!
:'''Carmine''': How’s...how’s Kiki doing since he...y’know, since he came back?
:'''Crispin''': We study, we talk, we have battles... It’s pretty normal, I guess?
:'''Carmine''': Oh, yeah? And nobody’s picking on him or anything, right?
:'''Crispin''': Well, I mean...some kids are scared of him ’cause of how he was...
:'''Crispin''': But he’s much more approachable now, so I think it’s all good! I like Kieran how he is!
:'''Carmine''': Y’know... You’re a nice guy, Crispin. Even if you are kind of dense sometimes.
:'''Crispin''': Did you really need to throw in that diss?!

===Crispin and Kieran===
:'''Crispin''': Hey, did you see that new episode yesterday? It was awesome!
:'''Kieran''': S-sorry... I haven’t seen it yet.
:'''Crispin''': Why’d you apologize?!
:'''Kieran''': Ah—well, I, uh... Wait, why DID I apologize...?
:'''Kieran''': I guess ’cause you went out of your way to talk to me, and I couldn’t keep the conversation going?
:'''Crispin''': Oh c’mon, I don’t mind that kinda thing!
:'''Kieran''': Yeah... Yeah, I guess you don’t.
:'''Crispin''': Hey, how ’bout we watch next week’s episode in your room, then?
:'''Kieran''': Sure!

===Amarys and Lacey===
:'''Amarys''': How do you define “cuteness”?
:'''Lacey''': Gracious, that’s a difficult question to answer...
:'''Amarys''': I assumed you would have a clear grasp of the concept since you use the term so frequently...
:'''Lacey''': Oh, that...simply wells up within me, from the bottom of my heart! I can’t hold it in! But I can’t say it’s something I’ve thought hard about. It’s more like a natural response...
:'''Amarys''': Then let us attempt to define cuteness here and now. How about...pink? Is that cute?
:'''Lacey''': Yes! Pink is definitely cute!
:'''Amarys''': And smallness? Is that cute?
:'''Lacey''': That’s right! Small things are quite often cute!
:'''Lacey''': But big things can be cute, too. I don’t think you can simply define cuteness as “being small.”
:'''Amarys''': Cuteness is...complex, I see.

===Amarys and Drayton===
:'''Amarys''': You submitted your report seven minutes and 20 seconds late, I see...
:'''Drayton''': Hey, that means I submitted it, right? Do we gotta sweat the small stuff?
:'''Amarys''': I...I cannot believe that you find such conduct acceptable.
:'''Drayton''': I dunno. The teacher seemed pretty thrilled with my work.
:'''Amarys''': That is...doubtful.
:'''Amarys''': Why is it that you never stick to schedules, Drayton?
:'''Drayton''': Why don’t I stick to schedules?! Aw, c’mon, you know why...
:'''Drayton''': ’Cause I’m too busy stickin’ it to the man!
:'''Amarys''': ... ... ...What?
:'''Drayton''': Heh. And the crowd goes wild!

===Amarys and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': Here you go! Some Syrupy Apples, straight from Kitakami!
:'''Amarys''': Thank you, Carmine. I truly appreciate it.
:'''Carmine''': You always ask for apples whenever I go home... Sure you aren’t tired of them? We have mochi too, you know...
:'''Amarys''': I have no need for mochi. Kitakami’s apples are far superior.
:'''Carmine''': Well, I guess they are a lot sweeter than the apples you can get elsewhere, yeah...
:'''Amarys''': The high sugar content gives them a superb flavor, and they stay fresh for a long time.
:'''Amarys''': I also...like to use them for still life compositions.
:'''Carmine''': Oh, that’s right! Of course you’d use them for your paintings!
:'''Amarys''': I would very much enjoy painting a tree laden with apples someday.
:'''Carmine''': You should come to Kitakami sometime! I’ll show you around myself!
:'''Amarys''': That would be lovely.

===Amarys and Kieran===
:'''Kieran''': I’m gonna really try my best this time, Amarys.
:'''Amarys''': I am...very glad to hear it.
:'''Amarys''': It is good to see you back at the academy.
:'''Kieran''': I know you and my sis were all worried about me... I’m really sorry about that.
:'''Amarys''': Your apology is unnecessary.
:'''Amarys''': Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That is all you need to do.
:'''Kieran''': Yeah, you’re right! Thanks, Amarys!
:'''Kieran''': “One foot in front of the other”... Yeah! When you put it like that, it’s so true!
:'''Amarys''': ...I wish you all the best, Kieran.

===Lacey and Drayton===
:'''Lacey''': That’s it! Today you are definitely doing your duty as an Elite Four member—and no slacking!
:'''Drayton''': Hey, we both know I’ll just mess things up, and you guys’ll have to do more work in the end.
:'''Lacey''': Th-that is...entirely likely but beside the point!
:'''Lacey''': First things first—your attitude! You have to truly want to do the work in order to do it well!
:'''Lacey''': Chop-chop! On your feet! Then, take these documents here—
:'''Drayton''': Awww, c’monnn. I’m so sluggish...so tired... so sleepy...
:'''Lacey''': No! That is just not right!
:'''Drayton''': It feels pretty right to me!
:'''Lacey''': Ooooh, you! YOU!

===Lacey and Carmine===
:'''Carmine''': Hey, so...some boy asked you to step out with him earlier, huh? What was that about?
:'''Lacey''': Oh... You saw that?
:'''Carmine''': Yep! With my own two eyes!
:'''Lacey''': Well, he said he wanted to talk about something, so he took me over to this empty classroom...
:'''Carmine''': He wanted to talk? Like, TALK talk? You’ve gotta give me the details!
:'''Lacey''': Oh! No, there’s nothing to tell...
:'''Lacey''': The moment I told him who my daddy was, he was off in a flash!
:'''Carmine''': Wow... You’re way more ruthless than you look.

===Lacey and Kieran===
:'''Lacey''': How are things going for you, Kieran? No trouble keeping up with your classes or anything?
:'''Kieran''': Eep... Well, actually...I’m pretty out of the loop...
:'''Kieran''': I didn’t study at all during my break...
:'''Lacey''': That’s only natural! I don’t think anyone could expect otherwise.
:'''Kieran''': I tried asking Crispin, but he wasn’t any help... Seems like he hasn’t been keeping up either.
:'''Lacey''': Oh. That’s also...quite natural. I wouldn’t expect otherwise.
:'''Lacey''': Well, I can teach you! And I can lend you my old notes from last year!
:'''Kieran''': Wha—you sure? But I was such a jerk to you...
:'''Lacey''': Bzzt! Nope! Wrong! What’s past is past, and I’m not one for holding grudges. That’s just not right!
:'''Lacey''': We’re clubmates, aren’t we? We should be able to depend on one another for anything!
:'''Kieran''': Y-yeah, you’re right! Thanks, Lacey!

===Drayton and Carmine===
:'''Drayton''': C’mon, Carmine. Just lemme copy your homework. C’mooon.
:'''Carmine''': That’s really not how you should go about asking people for favors, y’know...
:'''Carmine''': Anyway, the answer is NO! Every time I lend you my notes, they come back all crumpled up!
:'''Drayton''': Pleeease! I’ll iron ’em before I give ’em back!
:'''Carmine''': How about just not crumpling them up to begin with...
:'''Drayton''': Maaan, Lacey and Amarys wouldn’t let me copy theirs either.
:'''Drayton''': Pleeease! I’m begging! Can’t you see me bowing my head in humility?
:'''Carmine''': The only thing I see is a bozo kicking back and relaxing!

===Drayton and Kieran===
:'''Drayton''': Yo, ex-Champ.
:'''Kieran''': H-hey, Drayton... I just wanted to say, um...
:'''Drayton''': What’s wrong, ex-Champ?! Something happen?
:'''Kieran''': I wish you’d stop calling me that...
:'''Drayton''': By the way, I meant to ask...what does an ex-Champion eat for dinner these days?
:'''Kieran''': I told you to stop calling me that! Get it through your thick skull already!
:'''Drayton''': Heh heh. I’m just indulgin’ in some well-earned payback here. Don’t mind me!
:'''Kieran''': Aw man... Whatever, Drayton...

===Carmine and Kieran===
:'''Carmine''': So, how long are you going to keep your hair like that, Kiki?
:'''Kieran''': Huh, why? Does it look weird?
:'''Carmine''': *sigh*... I’ve been meaning to say this all along... You really should stop trying to be all edgy. It’s not a good look for you.
:'''Kieran''': Wh-what?! I’m not trying to be edgy!
:'''Kieran''': I just put my hair up so I can let loose during battles! Aw man...
:'''Carmine''': What, so you can’t “let loose” unless you tie your hair up? Aww, that’s too cute!
:'''Kieran''': Shut up, Sis! You’re such a dummy!
:'''Carmine''': Hey, what’d you just call me?! You’d better watch your mouth if you know what’s good for you!

===Rika and Geeta===
:'''Geeta''': You seem to be smiling a lot more often these days, Rika.
:'''Rika''': Huh?! What’s this all of a sudden?! Kind of a creepy thing to mention outta the blue...
:'''Geeta''': I do beg your pardon.
:'''Geeta''': I simply assumed you were in a good mood, seeing as you now get to meet your favorite Trainer more regularly.
:'''Rika''': Whaaat? I don’t know what you’re goin’ on about. Ol’ Rika doesn’t have favorites!
:'''Geeta''': Heh... Of course. I’m sure you don’t.
:'''Rika''': Hey, look who’s talking! You seem to have a real high opinion of him/her too, boss!
:'''Geeta''': Oh my. It seems I’ve been found out.
:'''Rika''': Sheesh... Just don’t steal him/her away from Nemona. She’ll throw a fit!
:'''Geeta''': Hmm... I’d prefer to avoid that. I’ll keep your advice in mind.

===Poppy and Geeta===
:'''Poppy''': Geeta! Geeta!
:'''Geeta''': Why hello, Poppy. What can I do for you?
:'''Poppy''': I’m making a drawing of you, Geeta!
:'''Geeta''': A drawing of...me?
:'''Poppy''': That’s right!
:'''Poppy''': Once I’m done coloring it, I’ll give it to you!
:'''Geeta''': Oh, Poppy...
:'''Geeta''': Do you know the size of the paper you’re using? I must order a frame for it immediately.
:'''Poppy''': Oh, um, um, I’m not sure...

'''Arven''' (Japanese: '''ペパー''' ''Peper''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/pokemonscaleworld_01_fjsdkm.jpg "Peper & Mafitiff & Parshen"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He is the son of [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is the player's primary partner for the Path of Legends storyline of Scarlet and Violet, where he seeks out the [[Herba Mystica]].

==In the core series games==
Arven is an upperclassman at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is skilled at cooking, and is a researcher of healthy recipes to make Pokémon feel better.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/arven/ Arven — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He always carries a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} with him.<ref>(November 8, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> He is enrolled in the {{wp|humanities|humanities}} track of the Academy, with his homeroom teacher being [[Salvatore]].

{{spoilers}}
Arven is the son of [[Professor Sada]]/[[Professor Turo|Turo]] and their unknown colleague. Due to the professor's devoutness to their research and the Tera Project, Arven mostly grew up alone in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]]. The strained relationship led Arven to devote most of his time to his companion {{p|Mabosstiff}} (originally a {{p|Maschiff}}) as well as learning to cook and clean. He enjoys picnics, especially their outdoor settings and the [[Sandwich]]es made. At some point, the professor succeeded in creating a working time machine, bringing [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the present time. One such Pokémon was {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which the professor brought to the lighthouse for safekeeping, instructing Arven to keep it a secret. However, multiple people ended up witnessing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] attacking several [[wild Pokémon]], and the professor was forced to bring the Pokémon back to the [[Zero Lab]]. Arven would end up not seeing his parent again until the ending events of the game, causing him to blame and loathe the Legendary Pokémon for taking his parent away from him. Eventually, he and Mabosstiff visited Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for Mabosstiff to be attacked by a creature Arven describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. After taking a [[Flying Taxi]] out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], he tried to heal Mabosstiff using a [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Potion]]s, only to have failures due to his injuries being a special case. In desperation, he skipped his classes to research and attempt almost every cure available, yet he was not successful. At some point, he sifted through the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} and learned of the legendary [[Herba Mystica]], and - seeing his chance at revitalizing Mabosstiff - began to research them.

The player and [[Nemona]] first meet Arven on Poco Path, after meeting and being rescued by Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. Arven was searching his old home, the lighthouse lab, where he found a book previously owned by the professor, the mysterious Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. When Nemona recognizes him as their son, he becomes angry and tells her that his parentage doesn't matter. Still, he is surprised to see the Legendary Pokémon outside of Area Zero, and the weakened state that it is in. After he learns the truth of what actually happened, he challenges the player to a battle with his newly caught {{p|Skwovet}} to test whether or not they can control the Paradox Pokémon. In defeat, he lets the player take the Legendary off of his hands and gives them [[Koraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|V}} and runs down Poco Path on his way to the Academy, while Nemona yells at him to answer her questions.

===Path of Legends===
After the player's first class, Arven is waiting for them at the Cafeteria. Already knowing their name due to them becoming a school celebrity, he asks the player to help make his dream a reality: to help him defeat five [[Titan Pokémon]] so he can create recipes with the [[Herba Mystica]], special herbs that heal any Pokémon that eats them. From his research in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the Titans are incredibly strong, but because he isn't proficient at [[Pokémon battle]]s, he requires the help of a strong trainer, hoping the player would assist them. He asks them to think it over, and registers the locations of the titans on their [[Rotom Phone]]'s map.

After attending the Academy's opening ceremony for the annual "Treasure Hunt," he finds the player and Nemona in the center of [[Mesagoza]], below the steps to the Academy, conversing about [[Pokémon Gym]]s. He scolds Nemona for suggesting that the player would attempt to reach [[Champion]] Rank instead of assisting him in acquiring the Herba Mystica, much to her surprise and disapproval. When the player receives a sudden call from the mysterious character [[Cassiopeia]] regarding disbanding Team Star through defeating the bosses, he once again criticizes the idea, but is surprised when the stranger mentions him by name. After Nemona assures the player that they are free to follow whichever path they choose, Arven almost reveals his true intentions in his quest, but quickly changes the subject, mentioning how he plans to create the world's greatest sandwiches with the Herba Mystica. At this mention of sandwiches, Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} exits their [[Poké Ball]], angering Arven. The player mounts the Legendary, and he tells them that the best start on their search for the Titans will be past the east gate of the city. Afterwards, he leaves in frustration when Nemona recommends the opposite west gate for the path towards the Gyms, informing the player that he will see them soon.

Over the course of the game, the player participates in the Path of Legends storyline, joining Arven in defeating Titan Pokémon and creating various sandwiches using the Herba Mystica to both cure Mabosstiff and restore Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}'s power. Fortunately, the power of all five sandwiches restores the Legendary Pokémon to full strength, as well as bringing Mabosstiff's health back completely, making Arven ecstatic.

===Post-game===
The player battles Arven as their first opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]]. He can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.

===Mochi Mayhem===
Following the events of the Indigo Disk, Arven will accompany the player, Nemona and Penny to a trip to the land of Kitakami.

Arven appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. He was first seen reading a book while walking on [[Glaseado Mountain]], where he ran into [[Ohara]]. Arven was abruptly attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Cetitan}} and began to sprint in order to outrun it. He tripped and fell into the snow, but was saved by Ohara, who was able to calm Cetitan down with her flute.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ArvenScarletViolet249.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Arven]]
{{main|Arven (Scarlet & Violet 166)}}
'''Arven''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} print illustrated by the same artist, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. It lets players search their deck for an {{TCG|Item card}} and a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}, reveal them, and put them in their hand. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.

=====Other cards=====
Arven also makes an appearance on the {{TCG|illustration rare}} {{TCG ID|Scarlet & Violet|Mabosstiff|218}} from {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Arven is shown with a {{p|Maschiff}} in Battle Studies classes, despite his Mabosstiff having already evolved in the story and him not being shown to own a different Maschiff anywhere else in the game.
* Excluding Mabosstiff, all of Arven's Pokémon are related to food or cooking: Cloyster represents oysters, Toedscruel represents mushrooms, Garganacl represents salt, Scovillain represents peppers and spices, and Greedent is known to collect and store {{Berries}}.
* A version of the framed photograph in Arven's dorm room can be seen in the [[Zero Lab]], with a younger Arven fully in frame with his Maschiff.
* Arven's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing (Scarlet and Violet)#Rotom Phone|Flabébé Flower Case]].
* All of the Pokémon Arven uses against the [[Titan Pokémon]] have type advantages against the Titan Pokémon, with the exception of Greedent.
** Arven's Greedent does, however, know the {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which is super effective against Titan {{p|Dondozo}}, but it knows no moves that would be super effective against {{p|Tatsugiri}}.
* There is a possibility for Arven's Pokémon to appear as a {{Shiny}} during the [[Multi Battle]]s against the Titans. However, they will not remain Shiny in any further battles.
* Before Arven Terastallizes Mabosstiff, he holds his Poké Ball upside down.
* Arven was awarded the 2022 Famitsu Dengeki Game Award for Best Character. During the event, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] explained via a written message that Arven's character was based on his personal experience of losing his parents at a young age.<ref>https://www.famitsu.com/news/202303/18296051.html</ref>

'''Penny''' (Japanese: '''ボタン''' ''Botan'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Include information on their role in their [[Bonds|Bond]] story as of the Ver. 3.0.0 update.}}
Penny is a student at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and is in the same grade as the [[player character]]. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].

Penny is first seen in [[Mesagoza]], where the player witnesses her being harassed by {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs. The player then defeated the Grunts. Afterwards, for each squad boss except for the last one defeated, Penny appears as Cassiopeia's supply unit rep and talks to the player, giving them [[TM Material]]s, and being licked by {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} every time after the first.

{{spoilers}}
===★ Starfall Street ★===
Penny first witnesses the player defeat two {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star. During Operation Starfall, Penny appears as a part of the supply unit to reward the player with various [[TM Material]]s after they defeat a Team Star base.

After the player has defeated all five Team Star bosses, [[Cassiopeia]] reveals that she was Team Star's "big boss" and invites the player to meet at the academy's schoolyard after dark, where she reveals her identity as Penny. None of the other members of Team Star knew of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She came up with the idea of Operation Starfall and recruited the player to make the Team Star Bosses stand down as she is afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the academy because of their involvement in the team but is unable to forcibly disband the group herself. Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks [[Clavell|Clive]] to record the battle with his [[Rotom Phone]] for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

A flashback after her defeat shows her last conversation (a year and a half prior) with the squad bosses, via a Rotom Phone call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, and she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

After the flashback, Penny thanks the player and Clive for successfully helping her during Operation Starfall. When asked by Clive why she couldn’t forcibly disband Team Star on her own, Penny explains that the strict code she and the squad bosses created stated that no member of Team Star had the right to order anyone around and that the squad bosses had to accept challenges and give away their Star Badges when defeated, hence forcing them to step down as squad bosses. When asked by Clive what the squad bosses mean to her, Penny wholeheartedly replies that they are her "greatest treasure".

Seemingly touched by Penny's story, Clive thanks her for her appraisal of the situation with Team Star. Clive proceeds to reveal that he, too, was under a false persona, and is actually the Academy's director, [[Clavell]], much to Penny's shock. Clavell explains that he disguised as Clive in order to talk to the Team Star members on equal terms, without them feeling the pressure of speaking to a faculty member such as the academy's director.

Clavell proceeds to call all the squad bosses ([[Giacomo]], [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], [[Ortega]], and [[Eri]]) out onto the schoolyard, much to Penny's surprise, and she emotionally recalls their names as they greet her with equal emotion. The squad bosses perform Team Star's signature ''hasta la vistar'' ★ pose and happily exclaim in unison: "''Hasta la vistar'', Cassiopeia! ★ And hello, Penny!"

Clavell apologises to Team Star for his unawareness of the bullying they suffered from, since he joined the academy as its director without witnessing any incidents of bullying. He declares that Team Star may continue to exist should its bosses want it to, but that they should be punished for breaking multiple school rules during their period of truancy. As punishment, Clavell assigns Penny and the squad bosses to manage the newly founded Star Training Centers (STCs) as staff members. Upon hearing this, the squad bosses marvel over Team Star not disbanding and being able to spend time with their "big boss" and close friend at the Academy and STCs.

Clavell dismisses Team Star's bosses and calls the player to his office to thank them for allowing him to help resolve Team Star's situation. Penny arrives shortly thereafter to apologise for illegally hacking the [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]]'s [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward the player and Clavell for helping her during Operation Starfall, and feels that she should be punished more heavily than the others. Clavell decides that he should consult [[Geeta]], the Paldea Pokémon League's chairwoman, on the matter, and dismisses the player from his office.

Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the academy building and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.

When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and she came up with the ''hasta la vistar'' ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she won't be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she does some volunteer engineering for them, which she agreed to do. Finally, she thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the academy and gives them {{TM|169|Draco Meteor}} as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with any requests they may have. She bids the player farewell with a ''hasta la vistar'' ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

===The Way Home===
After all three main stories of the game have been completed, Penny goes to the [[Zero Gate]] with the player, [[Arven]], and [[Nemona]] to traverse [[Area Zero]] with them and help them reach the [[Zero Lab]] in The Way Home, the game's final story. She battles alongside the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner twice during this. After the door to the Zero Lab is opened, a group of [[Paradox Pokémon]] escape, which are chased down by Penny and Nemona. Later, Penny returns to the Zero Lab with Nemona and Arven and watches the player battle against and defeat [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} with their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}.

===Post-game===
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using [[Pokémon Trainer]] as her Trainer class instead of {{tc|Team Star}}.

===Mochi Mayhem===
Following the events of the Indigo Disk, Penny will accompany the player, Arven and Nemona to a trip to the land of Kitakami.

Paradox Pokémon

2023-02-27T20:27:13Z

Zacian888: /* Trivia */

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of Pokémon found in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one made of Pokémon resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}, and one resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|V}}. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow regular naming conventions. [[List of categories by abundance|All of them share]] the {{pkmn|category}} of Paradox Pokémon.

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''' and '''Enigmas of Paldea''' by researchers and [[Occulture]] articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. The professors also refer to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}.

==History==
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years ago in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero exploration team named Heath wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Eventually, a paranormal magazine called [[Occulture]] published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea.

Ten years ago before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Paradox Pokémon from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought into the present using a time machine built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. The Professor used the time machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before bringing them into modern time. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and [[Poké Ball]] Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, eventually the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in the present and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the Professor AI counterparts realized that the project was a mistake and that their creators' dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

Later, during the events of Scarlet and Violet, a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} somehow escaped and became a [[Titan Pokémon]] that roamed the [[Asado Desert]]. The {{player}} and [[Arven]] defeated it, putting an end to its rampage.

During the events of The Way Home, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/an Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} fights the player against their will using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine, only for the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to put a stop to it. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} used it one final time to travel into the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

==In the games==
===Ancient Pokémon===
These Pokémon look like ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in battle.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Scarlet Book.

* Somewhere in a Paldean forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with Jigglypuff's own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the Scarlet Book that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon Amoonguss. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned Scarlet Book.
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.

* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant Misdreavus at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling Scarlet Book.
* Slither Wing shares traits with Volcarona, so some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.

* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a Magneton that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in Paldea's more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining Scarlet Book.

* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo [[Mega Evolution|a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world]], but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.

===Future Pokémon===
These Pokémon look like futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Quark Drive}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Miraidon}}, which has {{a|Hadron Engine}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of {{m|Electric Terrain}} in battle.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Violet Book.

* The mysterious Violet Book makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like Delibird and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.

* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious Violet Book. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles Hariyama, however, remains unanswered.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to Hydreigon has been seen in a certain corner of Paldea. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the Violet Book.

* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by alien life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...

* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the Violet Book.

==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles the [[Legendary beasts]].]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles the [[Swords of Justice]].]]
* All future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) in their names.
** While this doesn't explicitly apply to {{p|Miraidon}}, its past name was "Iron Serpent", as mentioned in its Pokédex entry from Pokémon Violet.
** Despite having "Iron" in their names, only {{p|Iron Treads}} is actually part {{type|Steel}}.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have Paradox counterparts in both Scarlet and Violet.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same game as its present-day counterpart.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}} and Iron Valiant can be considered counterparts of each other:


** They share a base stat total of 590 instead of the 570 found in the non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} Paradox Pokémon.
** Both are separated from the other Paradox Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] numbering.
** Both do not appear in any editions of "Occulture" in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} entrance hall with the editions they appear in being found in the Lab on [[Poco Path]] instead.
** They are both the final and highest-[[level]]ed Pokémon used by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} in their first {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as the only Pokémon on their team with the held item [[Booster Energy]].
* Roaring Moon, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower base stat total than their contemporaries. This is because their present-day counterparts are all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], each with base stat totals of 600 (or higher, in the case of Mega Salamence and Mega Tyranitar, both of which have stat totals of 700).
** Iron Valiant also has lower stats when taking into account Mega Evolution, since it's based on Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir, which both have stat totals of 618.
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All types except {{t|Normal}} are represented by at least one Paradox Pokémon.
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives, while replacing or adding a new type.
** {{t|Fighting}} is the most common type for Paradox Pokémon to have, with five Paradox Pokémon having it.
** {{p|Iron Moth}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to not share at least one type with another Paradox Pokémon.
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon:
** Both only consist of Pokémon that cannot evolve in their debut games.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist only of [[gender unknown]] Pokémon that are [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|unable to breed]].
** Both are connected to Legendary Pokémon.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a [[Base stats|base stat]] total of 570.
** With the exceptions of Koraidon and Miraidon, every Paradox Pokémon and every Ultra Beast has an [[Ability]] that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
* Excluding Koraidon and Miraidon, all ancient Pokémon have odd-numbered base stats while all future Pokémon have even-numbered base stats.
** Additionally, all ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon (except Miraidon) are shorter.
* The [[cry|cries]] of all Paradox Pokémon except Koraidon and Miraidon sample the cries of their contemporary relatives. Furthermore, similarly to the Ultra Beasts, all ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their cries, while all future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise.
* All moves learned by Paradox Pokémon via leveling up are learned at levels which are multiples of 7.
* In their battle against the player, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon available in that version of the game except {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}.
* In the Scarlet and Violet Books, there is a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon, based on Paradox Pokémon found in Area Zero. The drawing in the Scarlet Book resembles the three [[Legendary beasts]], while that of the Violet Book resembles the three [[Swords of Justice]]. These designs are seemingly meant to to be of {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}, though instead of being counterparts of just {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Virizion}}, these sketches combine traits from all members of their respective trios.
* [[Generation II]] has the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during it, with six. [[Generation IV]] has the fewest (of generations with at least one), with only one.
* No Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, or {{gen|VIII}} have Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** However, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant are based on [[Mega Evolution]], which was introduced in Generation VI.
* The Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon) and {{p|Type: Null}} are the only Pokémon to have {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} names different to their English names.
* The Pokédex entries for each group of Paradox Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet share a common theme depending on the version:
** Scarlet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Violet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite an "expedition journal" or an "old book", referring to the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.
** Violet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Scarlet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite a "paranormal" or "dubious" magazine, referring to Occulture.
* The term "Paradox Pokémon" may be a reference to ''{{wp|Animalia Paradoxa}}''.
* [[Walking Wake]] and [[Iron Leaves]] are the only Paradox Pokémon whose modern day counterparts are currently unavailable in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Swords of Justice

2023-02-27T20:24:24Z

Zacian888: /* Pokémon Sword and Shield */

[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|right|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
[[File:Swords of Justice Dream.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork of {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Cobalion}} from the [[Pokémon Global Link]].]]
The '''Swords of Justice''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|聖剣士|せいけんし}}''' ''Sacred Swordsmen'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}. They are also commonly referred to by fans as the '''Legendary musketeers'''.

The group is based on the French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'' by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas}}. Cobalion represents {{wp|Athos (fictional character)|Athos}}, the oldest and ''de facto'' leader of the group. Terrakion represents {{wp|Porthos}}, the strongest, heaviest, and largest member of the group. Virizion represents {{wp|Aramis}}, the most feminine, vain, and romantic member of the group. Keldeo represents {{wp|d'Artagnan}}, the youngest by far and the latest addition to the group.

The Swords of Justice share a secondary type, {{type|Fighting}}, and the Ability {{a|Justified}}. A number of their moves refer to combat and swordplay—something the Musketeers specialized in—such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Sacred Sword}}. The latter move was the [[signature move]] of the Swords of Justice in [[Generation V]].

When gathered at the [[Moor of Icirrus]]{{sup/5|BW}}/[[Pledge Grove]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion will teach {{p|Keldeo}} its [[signature move]], {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==History==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" Sword of Justice from the Violet Book]]
The Swords of Justice have challenged humans according to the legend in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to human expansion. According to Legend, three Swords of Justice distrust humans because of the war that endangered the Pokémon living in [[Unova]].

The reason was war between two human factions, which resulted in a forest fire in the [[Moor of Icirrus]]. The lives of many wild Pokémon that lived there were endangered because of it. Ensnared by the smoke, they could not escape and their demise seemed certain until three figures appeared.
Terrakion shaped the earth and created a passage by which to escape, Virizion used its speed to shield the Pokémon from sparks and embers, while their leader, Cobalion, ushered the Pokémon to safety. Despite their efforts, the forest eventually burned to the ground. However, amongst the ashes, the three came across a lone Pokémon known as {{p|Keldeo}} who was separated from its parents. The trio adopted Keldeo into their group and taught it the knowledge and moves necessary in order to survive. Over time, Keldeo began to surpass its teachers before leaving the forest, though it is unknown why it left.

The trio proceeded to fight back the armies, overwhelming them with their combined might. Legends of them continue to be told today, and it has been said that if human conflict ever again threatened the safety of Pokémon, they would return to quell the fighting and preserve a climate of peace.

In Pokémon Violet's version of the Area Zero Expedition, 200 years before the game, the sketch artist was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the Great Crater of Paldea and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. The Scarlet Book instead depicts a [[legendary beasts|legendary beast]].

{{main|Swords of Justice (M15)}}
The Swords of Justice all made their anime debuts in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''. Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion train their youngest member, {{mov|Keldeo|Keldeo|15}}, but before the Colt Pokémon finishes its training, it decides to test its strength against {{mov|Kyurem|Kyurem|15}}. The Boundary Pokémon proves to be too much for Keldeo, who flees from the battle, but is actively pursued by Kyurem, who wants to finish their match. Keldeo is then found by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who help it to end the battle with Kyurem.

{{main|Kelden}}
Virizion debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', where it attacks {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} as they cross the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], cutting up their clothing. After learning about the date of the Pokémon League's date being pushed up, Black decides to capture the Swords of Justice in a desperate attempt to convince [[Drayden]] to give him entry into the League without an eighth Gym Badge. His travels take him to [[Mistralton Cave]], where he meets [[Shoko]], a young girl who's friend, {{tc|The Riches|Trish}}, had gone into the cave to capture the Swords of Justice herself.

When they hear a cry of pain, Black and Shoko enter the cave to find that Trish had been defeated and captured by Terrakion and Virizion. Black manages to get Trish out of Terrakion and Virizion's grasp with the help of [[Bo]]. When Trish wakes up, she decides to battle and capture the two Pokémon again, but is interrupted by the third Pokémon, Cobalion. Cobalion's appearance startles Trish into dropping her torches, causing a fire to start inside of the cave. Using teamwork, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion put out the flames as well as capture Shoko and Trish's Pokémon so that they can be freed from their Trainers. Black tracks them using [[Musha]]'s dream eating abilities, and he manages to free the girls' Pokémon after telling the three legends that Trish and Shoko truly love their Pokémon. Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion then disappear into the distance, much to Black's disappointment since he never captured them.

Later, the Swords of Justice are seen communicating with each other through telepathy as they travel towards [[Pledge Grove]] to meet their apprentice, [[Kelden|Keldeo]]. During their journey, the [[Shadow Triad]] catch sight of them and recognize them before planning to catch them, but Cobalion uses {{m|Metal Burst}} on the Shadow Triad before leading Terrakion and Virizion to safety. They meet Keldeo as promised, and teach it the move {{m|Sacred Sword}}, allowing it to leave a cut on the stone and complete its training. After Keldeo accomplishes this, Cobalion decides that all four of them would apprehend the Shadow Triad, as it knew that the Shadow Triad are up to no good and cannot be ignored.

They travel to the [[P2 Laboratory]], where the Shadow Triad and the Striaton Gym Leaders, [[Cilan]], [[Cress]], and [[Chili]], are locked in combat. From the expressions on each sides' Pokémon, Keldeo determines the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the good side. Keldeo rushes in to defeat the Shadow Triad's Pokémon, but gets captured in the process. Fortunately, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion come to the rescue by swinging their swords at both trios, defeating both sides before deciding to leave. Although defeated, the Shadow Triad refuse to back down and activate the P2 Lab's doors and have their {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} fire a laser at Keldeo. Keldeo is protected by its three mentors, who are frozen by the laser and proceed to sink into the waters below.

Two years later, [[Kelden|Keldeo]] was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} during a run to fill the Pokédex with data. After having been lured out by Whitley's [[Foongy]]'s {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Keldeo lashed out at the two and attacked them with its sword. Blake managed to dodge, but accidentally stepped too far and fell down a cliff. A while later, Keldeo agreed to join Blake's team, and is nicknamed Kelden.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
The Swords of Justice, excluding Keldeo, are captured by the organization [[Great Gavel]] and turned into Burst Hearts. Their Burst Hearts are then given to the three generals: [[Amu]], [[Ganku]], and [[Rovy]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation V, the Swords of Justice have their own battle transition, like the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Forces of Nature]] (the latter of which share their theme). The screen will pause, fade to black, and then a sword will slash through the screen as the glass breaks into pieces and the battle begins.

[[File:Legendary beasts Dream.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork from the [[Pokémon Global Link]]]]
'''Legendary beasts''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|三聖獣|さんせいじゅう}}''' ''Three Sacred Beasts'') is a collective fan term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

They are the Legendary trio of the [[Johto]] region. In most of their appearances, they are usually seen [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]]. They share a common [[Ability]], {{a|Pressure}}, and Hidden Ability, {{a|Inner Focus}}.

==History==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" legendary beast from the Scarlet Book]]
A direct counterpart to the [[Legendary birds|Generation I trio]], the beasts find their [[trio master|master]] in {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who revived them when [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned. They are said to embody the three events that happened to the tower: the {{t|Electric|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{t|fire}} that burned in the tower, and the {{wp|wind}}s and {{t|Water|rain}} that put it out. It is unknown whether these three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei before they were revived, or whether Ho-Oh actually {{wp|reincarnated}} them from three non-Legendary Pokémon.

Of the three beasts, Suicune has been the most prominent, appearing as a [[game mascot]] on the box art of {{v2|Crystal}}, and taking an expanded role in that game. Suicune also appears in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' as a protagonist, while Entei was the first of the three to have a movie appearance (albeit as an illusion), in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. Raikou was delegated to a more minor role, appearing as the central character in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where {{Jo|Jimmy}} encountered it. However, [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} did see the silhouette of a Raikou in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. The [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Legendary beasts]] made their first group appearance in the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', albeit in {{shiny}} form. By transferring the Shiny Legendary beasts given away by promotional events to {{game|Black and White|s}}, players are able to battle and capture the Pokémon {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform into a member of this trio during the battle.

In Pokémon Scarlet's version of the Area Zero Expedition, the sketch artist was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the Great Crater of Paldea and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling all three legendary beasts. This took place 200 years prior to Pokémon Scarlet, apparently predating the burning of the Brass Tower, which was 150 years before the Johto games. The Violet Book instead depicts a [[Swords of Justice|Sword of Justice]].

==In the games==
[[File:Zoroark legendary beasts.png|thumb|left|250px|The Legendary beasts, their {{pkmn2|Shiny}} forms, and Zoroark]]

===Generation II===
The beasts are available as [[Roaming Pokémon]] in Generation II, with the three (reduced to just Raikou and Entei in {{v2|Crystal}}) being found throughout the [[Johto]] region.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
They are also found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, where one of the trio is roaming the [[Kanto]] region. The [[type]] of the one that happens to roam Kanto is the one that is [[super effective]] against the player's choice of a [[starter Pokémon]]. To be specific, Raikou appears to Trainers who chose {{p|Squirtle}}, Entei to those who took in {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and Suicune to those who chose to go with {{p|Charmander}}. They appear in the [[Generation III]] side series game, [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where they are transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] and owned by the admins [[Dakim]], [[Venus]], and [[Ein]].

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSliver===
In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are encountered in the [[Burned Tower]]. After encountering them, Raikou and Entei will roam the Johto region and can be caught at a random route, though will flee the instant any battle begins. Suicune, however, flees to Route 25 where it can be caught. If it is defeated there, it will respawn at the Burned Tower after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

===Pokémon Black and White===
In a {{DL|Lostlorn Forest|Event|special in-game event}}, players are able to battle and capture {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform to a non-shiny member of the trio during the battle, in [[Lostlorn Forest]]. This achieved by using the [[Relocator]] to send the {{DL|Legendary beasts (M13)|In the games|Shiny Legendary beasts}}, which were given away in promotional events, to {{game|Black and White|s}}. The event can only be activated once.

However, if the Shiny Legendary beasts is sent to Pokémon Black and White using the [[Poké Transfer]] minigame, the Zoroark event will not activate; this also applies to the special thirteenth movie {{DL|Celebi (M13)|In the games|Celebi}}, as the {{DL|Castelia City|Game Freak|Zorua event}} will not activate.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are encountered at the [[Trackless Forest]] if the player has {{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Ho-Oh}} in their party. One will appear depending on what point of the hour the time is set on: Raikou appears in the first 20 minutes of each hour, Entei in the next 20, then Suicune in the final 20 minutes of an hour.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all three beasts can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Raikou{{sup/7|US}}/Entei{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered in the Rocky World through a green warp hole. Suicune can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole, as long as both Raikou and Entei are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC, all three Legendary beasts can be found in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s.

===Pokémon Brillant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond]], the Legendary beasts can be encountered at [[Ramanas Park]]. They are located in the Johto Room which is unlocked after capturing the [[Legendary titans]]. 3 Johto Slates are need to unlock them as only one Legendary beast can be encountered at a time.

The Legendary beasts must be traded or transferred to be obtainable in Pokémon Shining Pearl.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
The games introduce a supposed ancestor of Suicune, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] [[Walking Wake]].

===Spin-off Pokémon games===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each of them is the boss of one of the three sacred fields, requiring the Clear Wing to enter this trial in the first place. After the player defeats Entei at [[Fiery Field]], the Clear Wing becomes the Red Wing, allowing access to Raikou's [[Lightning Field]]. Defeating Raikou turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing. With the Sunset Wing in the player's possession, Suicune can be fought at [[Northwind Field]]. Defeating Suicune will change the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, allowing access to [[Mt. Faraway]], where the player can battle the beasts' trio master, {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

{{spoilers}}
The three Legendary beasts also play a pivotal role in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], with Entei accosting the player, the partner, and Archen after Latias and Latios are turned to stone, mistaking them for the culprits and nearly attacking them. Entei is a storyline boss shortly afterward, effortlessly defeating Buizel despite the latter's type advantage, then attacking the player and partner, whose scarves respond to the dire situation by temporarily changing them to their fully evolved forms. Much later, after the player, the partner, and most of the Expedition Society have been petrified, they encounter all three Legendary beasts in the Voidlands. The beasts escort the player, the partner, and Mawile to the Voidlands' exit, and the Legendary beasts and Mawile then hold off the Void Shadows while the player and partner escape.

In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Gordor]] captures the three beasts, and it is up to the {{player}} to recapture them and save [[Fiore]]. Otherwise, they are not usable in the main storyline, and Entei is the only one of the beasts who is battled twice; once in the [[Jungle Relic]], and once again atop the [[Fiore Temple]] (the latter scenario being the final capture performed in the main storyline). During the last captures, Raikou and Suicune are captured while under the control of Gordor, while Entei attempts to attack Gordor upon the destruction of [[Power Styler]], and it is up to the player to calm it.

They are also available in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], where they can be summoned using the [[Ranger Signs]] associated to them. The three possess different abilities that can help the player progress further into the game. Raikou can jump over gaps and bridges, while Entei can break large rocks blocking the path, and Suicune can walk across water. The three share the ability of frightening other Pokémon out of their hiding spots, and if the Capture Styler is charged before summoning, they can stop the Pokémon in their tracks. Upon summoning, the player is able to ride the Pokémon summoned; however, the three cannot be called to the field at the same time.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
{{main|Legendary beasts (M13)}}
[[File:Legendary Beasts M13.png|thumb|250px|The Legendary beasts in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Legendary beasts all appeared in their {{Shiny}} forms as the protectors of [[Crown City]]. They appeared when they believed that Zoroark was terrorizing the town. When they came to Crown City, they attacked Zoroark, and chased it down in the process. When they cornered Zoroark, the Pokémon living in Crown City all surrounded them and the Legendary beasts then stopped attacking Zoroark after learning that it had no malevolent intentions. Later, when [[Grings Kodai]], on the verge of his defeat, tried to reach the [[Time Ripple]] a final time, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune cornered Kodai, causing him to flee to the stadium, where he was knocked unconscious by Zoroark. The three then roared their farewells to Zoroark when it and Zorua left to return to [[Unova]].

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Suicune Entei Raikou PG.png|thumb|250px|The Legendary beasts in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Nameless Pokémon PG.png|thumb|left|250px|The nameless Pokémon that would become the Legendary beasts]]
The Legendary beasts appeared in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'', where they were shown in a tale told by [[Eusine]]. Long ago, they were three nameless Pokémon that lived in [[Ecruteak City]]. During a lightning storm, they were inside the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it got struck by lightning. The tower went up in flames and the three Pokémon perished. After the fire went out however, {{p|Ho-Oh}} appeared from the sky and revived the three Pokémon using its mystical powers. The Pokémon gained new life as Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, much to the shock of the citizens of Ecruteak City, who found their revival to be unnatural. They used violence against the three Pokémon, after which they fled Ecruteak, never to been seen again. According to Eusine, they completely lost trust in humanity. However, Suicune still showed itself to Eusine when he visited the Burned Tower.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Legendary beasts (Adventures)}}
Like in the games, the Legendary beasts were saved by {{p|Ho-Oh}} when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned down and became the Burned Tower. Ho-Oh was caught by the [[Masked Man]] nine years before the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}; the Legendary beasts managed to separate Ho-Oh from the Masked Man but were imprisoned in ice mirrors beneath the Burned Tower. They were freed by {{adv|Yellow}}, who had been visiting the [[Johto]] region with her uncle [[Wilton]].

The Legendary beasts roamed Johto in search for their companions. Because of Suicune's status as a [[game mascot]], it was given more screen time than Raikou and Entei. They reunited for a short while in ''[[PS138|Really Raikou and Entirely Entei II]]'', before finally finding their companions, all of which were [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s. Suicune accepted [[Misty]] as a companion, after challenging her to a battle beneath the [[Tohjo Falls]]. Raikou chose [[Lt. Surge]], who had faced the Masked Man before. Entei found [[Blaine]], who was looking for its flames of life to cure his tainted right arm. They joined forces to confront the Masked Man at the [[Indigo Plateau]], who had captured Ho-Oh once again. However, the masked man overcame them and set off for [[Ilex Forest]] for his ultimate goal. The Legendary beasts found a new companion in {{adv|Crystal}}, and took her to Ilex Forest to join the other [[Pokédex Holder]]s in the battle against the Masked Man. Raikou was passed to {{adv|Gold}}, and Entei to {{adv|Silver}}.

At the end of the chapter, the Legendary beasts roamed the land again in search for Ho-Oh. One of them, Raikou, had found a new companion in [[Anabel]] by the time of the {{chap|Emerald}}.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were designed by [[Muneo Saitō]]<ref>https://kai-you.net/article/5034</ref>.
[[File:Legendary Beasts HGSS Intro.png|200px|thumb|right|The Legendary beasts and [[Eusine]], as seen in the intro of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
* Many refer to them as '''Legendary cats''' or '''Legendary dogs''', depending on if they personally see feline or canine features in the individual Pokémon. However, they are more likely based on many different creatures and mythological deities, such as {{wp|Raijū}}, the {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, and the {{wp|qilin}}. On top of that, they also seem to have been stylized to fit the classic idea of three '''jungle cats''' or '''jungle beasts'''—the {{wp|tiger}}, {{wp|lion}}, and {{wp|cheetah}} (or {{wp|leopard}}). They may also be based on the Three Celestial Guardians used in {{wp|feng shui}}: the {{wp|Pixiu|Pi Yao}}, {{wp|Qilin|Chi Lin}}, and {{wp|Chinese guardian lions|Fu Dog}}.
* The Legendary beasts are the first Legendary Pokémon to get a special battle theme, though they first got it in {{game|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each Legendary beast was given their own remixed version of the original Legendary beast music from [[Generation II]]. The three songs are similar, but use different instruments: Suicune's uses bells, Raikou's uses an electric guitar, and Entei's uses synthesized music. However they will share the same theme in the said game if [[GB Sounds]] is turned on.

[[File:Legendary beasts Dream.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork from the [[Pokémon Global Link]]]]
'''Legendary beasts''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|三聖獣|さんせいじゅう}}''' ''Three Sacred Beasts'') is a collective fan term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

They are the Legendary trio of the [[Johto]] region. In most of their appearances, they are usually seen [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]]. They share a common [[Ability]], {{a|Pressure}}, and Hidden Ability, {{a|Inner Focus}}.

==History==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" legendary beast from the Scarlet Book]]
A direct counterpart to the [[Legendary birds|Generation I trio]], the beasts find their [[trio master|master]] in {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who revived them when [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned. They are said to embody the three events that happened to the tower: the {{t|Electric|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{t|fire}} that burned in the tower, and the {{wp|wind}}s and {{t|Water|rain}} that put it out. It is unknown whether these three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei before they were revived, or whether Ho-Oh actually {{wp|reincarnated}} them from three non-Legendary Pokémon.

Of the three beasts, Suicune has been the most prominent, appearing as a [[game mascot]] on the box art of {{v2|Crystal}}, and taking an expanded role in that game. Suicune also appears in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' as a protagonist, while Entei was the first of the three to have a movie appearance (albeit as an illusion), in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. Raikou was delegated to a more minor role, appearing as the central character in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where {{Jo|Jimmy}} encountered it. However, [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} did see the silhouette of a Raikou in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. The [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Legendary beasts]] made their first group appearance in the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', albeit in {{shiny}} form. By transferring the Shiny Legendary beasts given away by promotional events to {{game|Black and White|s}}, players are able to battle and capture the Pokémon {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform into a member of this trio during the battle.

In Pokémon Scarlet's version of the Area Zero Expedition, the sketch artist was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the Great Crater of Paldea and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling all three legendary beasts. This took place 200 years prior to Pokémon Scarlet, apparently predating the burning of the Brass Tower, which was 150 years before the Johto games. The Violet Book instead depicts a [[Swords of Justice|Sword of Justice]].

==In the games==
[[File:Zoroark legendary beasts.png|thumb|left|250px|The Legendary beasts, their {{pkmn2|Shiny}} forms, and Zoroark]]

===Generation II===
The beasts are available as [[Roaming Pokémon]] in Generation II, with the three (reduced to just Raikou and Entei in {{v2|Crystal}}) being found throughout the [[Johto]] region.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
They are also found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, where one of the trio is roaming the [[Kanto]] region. The [[type]] of the one that happens to roam Kanto is the one that is [[super effective]] against the player's choice of a [[starter Pokémon]]. To be specific, Raikou appears to Trainers who chose {{p|Squirtle}}, Entei to those who took in {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and Suicune to those who chose to go with {{p|Charmander}}. They appear in the [[Generation III]] side series game, [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where they are transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] and owned by the admins [[Dakim]], [[Venus]], and [[Ein]].

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSliver===
In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are encountered in the [[Burned Tower]]. After encountering them, Raikou and Entei will roam the Johto region and can be caught at a random route, though will flee the instant any battle begins. Suicune, however, flees to Route 25 where it can be caught. If it is defeated there, it will respawn at the Burned Tower after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

===Pokémon Black and White===
In a {{DL|Lostlorn Forest|Event|special in-game event}}, players are able to battle and capture {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform to a non-shiny member of the trio during the battle, in [[Lostlorn Forest]]. This achieved by using the [[Relocator]] to send the {{DL|Legendary beasts (M13)|In the games|Shiny Legendary beasts}}, which were given away in promotional events, to {{game|Black and White|s}}. The event can only be activated once.

However, if the Shiny Legendary beasts is sent to Pokémon Black and White using the [[Poké Transfer]] minigame, the Zoroark event will not activate; this also applies to the special thirteenth movie {{DL|Celebi (M13)|In the games|Celebi}}, as the {{DL|Castelia City|Game Freak|Zorua event}} will not activate.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are encountered at the [[Trackless Forest]] if the player has {{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Ho-Oh}} in their party. One will appear depending on what point of the hour the time is set on: Raikou appears in the first 20 minutes of each hour, Entei in the next 20, then Suicune in the final 20 minutes of an hour.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all three beasts can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Raikou{{sup/7|US}}/Entei{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered in the Rocky World through a green warp hole. Suicune can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole, as long as both Raikou and Entei are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC, all three Legendary beasts can be found in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s.

===Pokémon Brillant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond]], the Legendary beasts can be encountered at [[Ramanas Park]]. They are located in the Johto Room which is unlocked after capturing the [[Legendary titans]]. 3 Johto Slates are need to unlock them as only one Legendary beast can be encountered at a time.

The Legendary beasts must be traded or transferred to be obtainable in Pokémon Shining Pearl.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
The games introduce a supposed ancestor of Suicune, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] [[Walking Wakes]].

===Spin-off Pokémon games===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each of them is the boss of one of the three sacred fields, requiring the Clear Wing to enter this trial in the first place. After the player defeats Entei at [[Fiery Field]], the Clear Wing becomes the Red Wing, allowing access to Raikou's [[Lightning Field]]. Defeating Raikou turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing. With the Sunset Wing in the player's possession, Suicune can be fought at [[Northwind Field]]. Defeating Suicune will change the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, allowing access to [[Mt. Faraway]], where the player can battle the beasts' trio master, {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

{{spoilers}}
The three Legendary beasts also play a pivotal role in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], with Entei accosting the player, the partner, and Archen after Latias and Latios are turned to stone, mistaking them for the culprits and nearly attacking them. Entei is a storyline boss shortly afterward, effortlessly defeating Buizel despite the latter's type advantage, then attacking the player and partner, whose scarves respond to the dire situation by temporarily changing them to their fully evolved forms. Much later, after the player, the partner, and most of the Expedition Society have been petrified, they encounter all three Legendary beasts in the Voidlands. The beasts escort the player, the partner, and Mawile to the Voidlands' exit, and the Legendary beasts and Mawile then hold off the Void Shadows while the player and partner escape.

In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Gordor]] captures the three beasts, and it is up to the {{player}} to recapture them and save [[Fiore]]. Otherwise, they are not usable in the main storyline, and Entei is the only one of the beasts who is battled twice; once in the [[Jungle Relic]], and once again atop the [[Fiore Temple]] (the latter scenario being the final capture performed in the main storyline). During the last captures, Raikou and Suicune are captured while under the control of Gordor, while Entei attempts to attack Gordor upon the destruction of [[Power Styler]], and it is up to the player to calm it.

They are also available in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], where they can be summoned using the [[Ranger Signs]] associated to them. The three possess different abilities that can help the player progress further into the game. Raikou can jump over gaps and bridges, while Entei can break large rocks blocking the path, and Suicune can walk across water. The three share the ability of frightening other Pokémon out of their hiding spots, and if the Capture Styler is charged before summoning, they can stop the Pokémon in their tracks. Upon summoning, the player is able to ride the Pokémon summoned; however, the three cannot be called to the field at the same time.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
{{main|Legendary beasts (M13)}}
[[File:Legendary Beasts M13.png|thumb|250px|The Legendary beasts in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Legendary beasts all appeared in their {{Shiny}} forms as the protectors of [[Crown City]]. They appeared when they believed that Zoroark was terrorizing the town. When they came to Crown City, they attacked Zoroark, and chased it down in the process. When they cornered Zoroark, the Pokémon living in Crown City all surrounded them and the Legendary beasts then stopped attacking Zoroark after learning that it had no malevolent intentions. Later, when [[Grings Kodai]], on the verge of his defeat, tried to reach the [[Time Ripple]] a final time, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune cornered Kodai, causing him to flee to the stadium, where he was knocked unconscious by Zoroark. The three then roared their farewells to Zoroark when it and Zorua left to return to [[Unova]].

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Suicune Entei Raikou PG.png|thumb|250px|The Legendary beasts in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Nameless Pokémon PG.png|thumb|left|250px|The nameless Pokémon that would become the Legendary beasts]]
The Legendary beasts appeared in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'', where they were shown in a tale told by [[Eusine]]. Long ago, they were three nameless Pokémon that lived in [[Ecruteak City]]. During a lightning storm, they were inside the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it got struck by lightning. The tower went up in flames and the three Pokémon perished. After the fire went out however, {{p|Ho-Oh}} appeared from the sky and revived the three Pokémon using its mystical powers. The Pokémon gained new life as Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, much to the shock of the citizens of Ecruteak City, who found their revival to be unnatural. They used violence against the three Pokémon, after which they fled Ecruteak, never to been seen again. According to Eusine, they completely lost trust in humanity. However, Suicune still showed itself to Eusine when he visited the Burned Tower.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Legendary beasts (Adventures)}}
Like in the games, the Legendary beasts were saved by {{p|Ho-Oh}} when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned down and became the Burned Tower. Ho-Oh was caught by the [[Masked Man]] nine years before the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}; the Legendary beasts managed to separate Ho-Oh from the Masked Man but were imprisoned in ice mirrors beneath the Burned Tower. They were freed by {{adv|Yellow}}, who had been visiting the [[Johto]] region with her uncle [[Wilton]].

The Legendary beasts roamed Johto in search for their companions. Because of Suicune's status as a [[game mascot]], it was given more screen time than Raikou and Entei. They reunited for a short while in ''[[PS138|Really Raikou and Entirely Entei II]]'', before finally finding their companions, all of which were [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s. Suicune accepted [[Misty]] as a companion, after challenging her to a battle beneath the [[Tohjo Falls]]. Raikou chose [[Lt. Surge]], who had faced the Masked Man before. Entei found [[Blaine]], who was looking for its flames of life to cure his tainted right arm. They joined forces to confront the Masked Man at the [[Indigo Plateau]], who had captured Ho-Oh once again. However, the masked man overcame them and set off for [[Ilex Forest]] for his ultimate goal. The Legendary beasts found a new companion in {{adv|Crystal}}, and took her to Ilex Forest to join the other [[Pokédex Holder]]s in the battle against the Masked Man. Raikou was passed to {{adv|Gold}}, and Entei to {{adv|Silver}}.

At the end of the chapter, the Legendary beasts roamed the land again in search for Ho-Oh. One of them, Raikou, had found a new companion in [[Anabel]] by the time of the {{chap|Emerald}}.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were designed by [[Muneo Saitō]]<ref>https://kai-you.net/article/5034</ref>.
[[File:Legendary Beasts HGSS Intro.png|200px|thumb|right|The Legendary beasts and [[Eusine]], as seen in the intro of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
* Many refer to them as '''Legendary cats''' or '''Legendary dogs''', depending on if they personally see feline or canine features in the individual Pokémon. However, they are more likely based on many different creatures and mythological deities, such as {{wp|Raijū}}, the {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, and the {{wp|qilin}}. On top of that, they also seem to have been stylized to fit the classic idea of three '''jungle cats''' or '''jungle beasts'''—the {{wp|tiger}}, {{wp|lion}}, and {{wp|cheetah}} (or {{wp|leopard}}). They may also be based on the Three Celestial Guardians used in {{wp|feng shui}}: the {{wp|Pixiu|Pi Yao}}, {{wp|Qilin|Chi Lin}}, and {{wp|Chinese guardian lions|Fu Dog}}.
* The Legendary beasts are the first Legendary Pokémon to get a special battle theme, though they first got it in {{game|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each Legendary beast was given their own remixed version of the original Legendary beast music from [[Generation II]]. The three songs are similar, but use different instruments: Suicune's uses bells, Raikou's uses an electric guitar, and Entei's uses synthesized music. However they will share the same theme in the said game if [[GB Sounds]] is turned on.
* A representation of the Legendary beasts was used as the set symbol for the {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} card expansion.
* The initials for the three beasts are the same as the initials for the three [[Hoenn]]-based games: {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In addition, their battle theme [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|exists]] in Ruby and Sapphire's coding, although it is unused.
* The order that the beasts appear in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei), and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
* The trio share their heights with three out of four members of [[Swords of Justice]]:
** {{p|Cobalion}} and Entei are both 6'11" (2.1 m).
** {{p|Virizion}} and Suicune are both 6'07" (2.0 m).
** {{p|Terrakion}} and Raikou are both 6'03" (1.9 m).

'''Drasna''' (Japanese: '''ドラセナ''' ''Dracaena'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Drasna appears as an [[Elite Four]] Trainer of [[Kalos]]. Her grandparents are from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Celestic Town]] and taught her about the region's mythology surrounding {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, which inspired her to train {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Drasna also has a relaxed composure, which hints at her strength that knows no bounds.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/characters/elite_four/</ref>

* Before battle (first challenge)
:''"Oh goodness, hello to you! Welcome, welcome, come in. You must be a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Yes, quite strong indeed... That's just wonderful news! Facing opponents like you and your [[Party|team]] will make my Pokémon grow like weeds!"''

* Before battle (subsequent challenge)
:''"Oh goodness, hello to you! You know, my grandparents came to Kalos from [[Sinnoh|a distant region]]. They came from [[Celestic Town|a town where the past lives on]]... When I was growing up at their knees, they raised me on tales of the Pokémon of {{p|Dialga|time}} and {{p|Palkia|space}}. It's really thanks to those stories that I decided to become a {{t|Dragon}} type Trainer."''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Oh, dear me. That sure was a quick battle... I do hope you'll come back again sometime!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Oh, you! You're too much! You and your Pokémon are simply charming!"''
:''"Oh, you're going already? Farewell, then!"''
::'''If battled first''': ''"Oh, dear me. Was I the first to lose to you all? If I've made you feel too confident, that won't be very fair to the others... But I suppose you'd best hurry along to that elevator over there to face them for yourself."''
::'''If battled second''': ''"And I was even the second you've beaten! Ah, I suppose it's just as well, really... Go on. It's time for you to show the last two of us how strong you are."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Drasna anime.png|thumb|250px|Drasna in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
Drasna first appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw her on TV shortly after arriving in Kalos, finding out that she was his next [[World Coronation Series]] opponent. Later in the episode, she was seen having a brief battle with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]].

In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Drasna and Ash faced each other at the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium. She proved to be an extremely challenging opponent, but ultimately, Ash was able to defeat her, increasing his ranking. In this episode, it was revealed that {{an|Clemont}} had also battled her once and been easily defeated.

====Character====
Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle. Her gentle demeanor, however, drops just before and during battle, turning sickly sweet to the point where her opponents and peers are left slightly frightened. Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.

In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.

====Pokémon====
This listing is of Drasna's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

Despite [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], it was eventually defeated by Sirfetch'd, who also fainted soon after.

Altaria is seen displaying much of its Trainer's personality, including taunting Ash's Pokémon and laughing at the opponent just before the battle begins.

Altaria's known moves are {{m|Breaking Swipe}}, {{m|Heat Wave}}, {{m|Cotton Guard}}, {{m|Sky Attack}}, and {{m|Play Rough}}.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Drasna Adventures.png|thumb|100px|Drasna in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Drasna debuts in [[PS587]]. She first appears as a fantasy when Diantha informed [[Korrina]] about each of the Kalos Elite Four. She later debuts in person alongside Wikstrom, where she assists {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}'s group in their quest to stop Team Flare. As they left to confront Team Flare at their hiding place, Drasna gives X's group a letter containing information about {{adv|Zygarde}}. Later, Drasna battles against members of Team Flare at {{rt|22|Kalos}}.

After Team Flare is fully defeated, Drasna, the remaining Elite Four members, and Diantha carry the unconscious body of [[Malva]], who had turned out to be a member of Team Flare.

* Drasna is the first Elite Four member that {{Ash}} has defeated in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Drasna is the only Dragon-type specialist that has never been seen using a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], based on the [[Cynthia|character of the same name]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}. She forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, which is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. The sync pair can be obtained through limited-time [[Sync pair#Sync pair scout|sync pair scout]]s, first available on January 1, 2020. The pair's potential can be upgraded to [[Sync pair#Increasing potential|6★ EX]] from November 23, 2020, which unlocks Cynthia's EX Style.

Cynthia is also available in her [[Sygna Suit|sygna suit]], alongside her sync pair {{p|Kommo-o}}. The sync pair can be obtained through a limited sync pair scout, and was first available on August 17, 2020. This pair is also capable of being upgraded to 6★ EX from February 22, 2021.

Cynthia is also available in her renegade sygna suit, alongside her sync pair {{p|Giratina}}. The sync pair can be obtained through a limited sync pair scout, and was first available on December 27, 2021. This pair is also capable of being upgraded to 6★ EX from when it was released.

==Garchomp==
Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 04001, which allows "Battle! (Cynthia) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the {{mas|Jukebox}}.

==Trivia==
* In her Sync Pair Story, Sygna Suit Cynthia reveals that she raised her Kommo-o from an {{pkmn|Egg}} she received in [[Alola]].
* Possibly as a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to Sygna Suit Cynthia, {{an|Cynthia}} was revealed to own a Kommo-o in the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]''.
* Similar to Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade), Giratina is also used in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} by [[Volo]], who bears a striking resemblance to Cynthia. Incidentally, Cynthia's battle theme in this game also shares the same melody as Volo's.

===Origin===
Cynthia's design is based on her appearance in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} is Cynthia's signature Pokémon in the [[core series]] games. Garchomp's Dex entry comes from {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}.

While Cynthia does not own a Kommo-o in the core series games, in the anime, she was seen in possesion of one in [[JN089]]. Kommo-o's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

While Cynthia does not own a Giratina in the core series, it is tied to the [[Sinnoh myths|mythology of Sinnoh]] that she studies as a profession. Giratina's Dex entry comes from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

The '''seventh generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第七世代|だいななせだい}}}}''' ''seventh generation'') of [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn|games}} is the seventh installment of the Pokémon video game series starting with {{g|Sun and Moon}}, continuing with {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and ending with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Unlike previous generations, the core series games of the seventh generation were released on two different Nintendo platforms, with the Alola-based games released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the Kanto-based games released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is the last generation released on the 3DS and the first one on the Switch.

==History==
The seventh generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sun and Moon}} on February 27, 2016, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]]. These are the first pair of games in the generation and were released worldwide on November 18, 2016, except in Europe where they were released on November 23, 2016.

The second pair of games in this generation, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, were revealed in a Pokémon Direct held on June 6, 2017. The games take place in Alola once again, but with a new story and includes Pokémon that cannot be found in Sun and Moon. The games were released worldwide on November 17, 2017.

The third and final pair of games, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], were revealed at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference]] held on May 29, 2018. The games take place in [[Kanto]] and are inspired by {{game|Yellow}}. The games were released worldwide on November 16, 2018.

===Connectivity===
Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon can communicate with the application [[Pokémon Bank]], via which Pokémon from the [[Generation VI]] games can be received. By way of [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon Bank can also receive Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation I]] games, from which they can be moved to Generation VII games. Combined with other [[Template:Inter-gen transfer|inter-generational transfer]] methods, this makes the seventh generation the first generation since Generation II able to communicate with all previous games.

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can communicate with the mobile app [[Pokémon GO]] and is able to receive Pokémon that originate from the app. It cannot communicate with other Generation VII games.

==In-game continuity==
{{spoilers}}
{{g|Sun and Moon}} occurs two years after the events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Various characters from previous generations such as: [[Sina]], [[Dexio]], [[Looker]], [[Anabel]], [[Colress]], {{ga|Red}}, and {{ga|Blue}} make appearances, with many of them looking significantly older than in previous games.

During the postgame missions in Sun and Moon, it is revealed that Anabel fell into an Ultra Wormhole prior to the events of Sun and Moon and became a {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}}, which are individuals who have passed through Ultra Wormholes, and is hinted to be the same Anabel that appeared in {{game|Emerald}}'s {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, however, she suffers from {{wp|retrograde amnesia}}. [[Professor Burnet]] who originated from the side game, [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], is revealed to be living in Alola and is researching the phenomena surrounding Ultra Wormholes.

{{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} are set in an alternate universe similar, but slightly different, to Sun and Moon. The events of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon follow those of the first games, but slightly diverge in its details. Some of the worlds that the player may visit through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] are hinted at being alternate versions of Alola, such as: the [[Ultra Space Wilds]], and the [[Ultra Ruin]], the latter being a world that is thoroughly hinted at being a destroyed [[Hau'oli City]] from an alternate dimension. In [[Episode RR]], [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] takes over the [[Festival Plaza]] and [[Aether Paradise]] in hopes of taking over other worlds using the Ultra Wormhole technology developed by the Aether Foundation. Team Rainbow Rocket is later revealed to be composed of the [[villainous team]] leaders from previous generations, with [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s leaders, [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], appearing as they did in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It is also revealed that each of the villainous team leaders are from alternate universes where they were able to successfully achieve their plans; further cementing the concept of alternate universes. Colress plays a major role in Episode RR by sending all of the villainous leaders back to their original dimensions; when Ghetsis is being confronted, he and Colress recognize each other, despite being from alternate dimensions, showing that Colress had involvements with [[Team Plasma]] in both universes.

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] seems to take place in an alternate universe from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as Team Rocket was never disbanded, and Red and Blue have already defeated the [[Indigo League]] and are now renowned Pokémon Trainers. Because of this, the player characters are now composed of [[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] with Blue's role as rival being replaced by [[Trace (game)|Trace]].

Since Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are remakes of {{game|Yellow}}, characters from the anime like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] make appearances and similar events from the anime occur.
The games seem to occur less than five years before Sun and Moon, as [[Mina]], albeit slightly younger, makes an appearance in [[Vermilion City]]. Despite this, the overall continuity between these games and those that precede them is not clear.

==Region==
[[File:Alola alt.png|thumb|250px|Alola]]
===Alola===
{{main|Alola}}
The [[Alola]] region was introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. This island region is made up of four main islands and one artificial island.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the seventh generation follow the traditional {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} trio setup. At the beginning of the game, the player must choose between the Grass and {{type|Flying}} {{p|Rowlet}}, the Fire-type {{p|Litten}} and the Water-type {{p|Popplio}}.

====Trial Captains and Totem Pokémon====
In Sun and Moon, there are seven [[Trial Captain]]s and eight [[Totem Pokémon]], Pokémon which are bigger than the rest of their species and have "auras" that increase one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the beginning of battle. Upon a Totem Pokémon's defeat, the player will get the corresponding [[Z-Crystal]] of the same type of the trial.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all of the trials are altered in some way. In addition, the final Trial Captain, [[Mina]] has a trial for the player to complete.

===Kanto===
[[File:LGPE Kanto Map.png|thumb|250px|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
In its fifth appearance, Kanto appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in a capacity similar to [[Generation I]] and its previous [[remake]]s, {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

====Starter Pokémon====
Unlike in other Pokémon games, the {{pkmn2|starter}} the player starts with corresponds with the game they are playing. Players of Let's Go, Pikachu! will start with {{p|Pikachu}}, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! will start with {{p|Eevee}}.

==Alola thematic motif==
The seventh generation focuses on themes of nature, alternate dimensions, tradition, and relationships. First and foremost, [[Z-Moves]] are said to be the physical manifestation of the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, in a similar vein to [[Mega Evolution]]. The storylines of the Alolan games also focus various characters whose motives and story arcs revolve around family- or relationship-based issues. The Aether Foundation is an organization that wishes to heal and protect Pokémon from threats such as [[Team Skull]] or predatory Pokémon like {{p|Mareanie}}. In fact, the Alolan Pokédex is filled with more examples of Pokémon predator-prey relationships than usual. In an [http://time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview interview] with Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} were named with the idea of the revolutions of the sun and the moon in mind, and how they influence life on the Earth, as a way to "celebrate life" and express Pokémon as living creatures. In the same interview, they mention the revolutions of the celestial bodies as being an interesting metaphor for relationships.

'''Gladion''' (Japanese: '''グラジオ''' ''Glazio'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He works for [[Team Skull]] as an enforcer, and serves as a [[rival]] character to the player in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Skull''' (Japanese: '''スカルだん''' ''Skull Gang'').

==In the core series==
===Role===
====[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]====
Gladion was originally a member of the [[Aether Foundation]] together with his mother [[Lusamine]] and his sister [[Lillie]]. However, over time, he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she would ruin [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. For this reason, he decided to leave the foundation, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} created to be a weapon to attack Ultra Beasts.

Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous team|team]].

Gladion first meets the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. After his second battle with the player at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], he realizes the player might be able to help him stop Lusamine. When encountered on {{rt|13|Alola}}, he informs the player Team Skull is after {{p|Cosmog}}. Knowing now Team Skull is helping Lusamine get Cosmog back, he tells the player that they should make sure Cosmog is safe. When Lillie gets captured while the player is battling [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]], Gladion appears before the player upon their return to the [[Aether House]] and battles them to express his frustration. After getting his priorities straight, he takes the player and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save both her and Lillie. Gladion is also encountered on the way to the newly finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals that not only has he received a [[Z-Ring]], but also managed to release his Type: Null from its restraint, [[Evolution|evolving]] it into {{p|Silvally}}. His Silvally will be holding the [[memory]] of the type that is strong against the player's starter Pokémon's type.

After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Alola region, Gladion has taken over as acting president of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine is away. He may be spoken to at Aether Paradise's conservation area, where he will give the player a Type: Null of their own, along with all of Silvally's [[memory]] drives.

Gladion is also one of the possible challengers who may appear at the Pokémon League as the player [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defends their title as Champion]].

====[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]====
Gladion's role is mostly similar as in Sun and Moon, although with several changes. As Lusamine is not obsessed with Ultra Beasts in this continuity, he instead left Aether Paradise with Type: Null due to [[Mohn]]'s disappearance, seeking to become stronger to protect Lillie and Lusamine. After the player becomes Champion, Gladion leaves the Alola region to train at [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Before leaving, he leaves a Type: Null and a set of memory drives in the possession of [[Wicke]], who gives them to the player at [[Ancient Poni Path]] during the post-game.

A month after {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}'s defeat, Gladion returns to Alola and can be faced in a Pokémon League Title Defense battle, where he will wield the fully evolved form of a Kanto [[starter Pokémon]], whose type matches the player's starter Pokémon's type. After Gladion has been defeated in a Title Defense battle, the player can visit Aether Paradise to see Gladion witnessing a meeting between Lusamine and Mohn, with Lusamine letting her amnesiac husband continue his life of running [[Poké Pelago]]. Gladion asks Lusamine if she's sure about wanting to leave him in his current state, but Lusamine is simply satisfied to see Mohn being happy with his life.

===Main series===
{{main|Gladion (anime)}}
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Gladion is a recurring character and {{Ash}}'s [[rival]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. He first made a cameo appearance in a [[Photography|photo]] along with his mother {{an|Lusamine}} and sister {{an|Lillie}}. His first proper appearance was in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.

[[File:Gladion Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Gladion in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
===GOTCHA!===
Gladion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Gladion appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE02|The Eclipse]]'', in which he, [[Lillie]], {{ga|Selene}}, [[Hau]], and [[Guzma]] witnessed [[Lusamine]] use [[Nebby]]'s power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in the [[Aether Paradise]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Gladion Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Gladion in Pokémon Adventures]]Gladion debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. He was absent when the tournament roster was being determined, but returned by the time the tournament started. He explained he was away checking an [[Ultra Wormhole]] his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} had sensed.

In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Gladion faced against [[Hau]]. When Hau mentioned he joined the tournament because he thought it'd be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the battle. In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Gladion's next opponent was Moon, who wanted to know about the Ultra Wormhole. Gladion agreed to tell her about it, but only if she managed to defeat him. Despite Moon's skill, Gladion eventually won the battle through luck.

In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', Gladion and {{adv|Sun}} faced each other in the finals. During the battle, Sun's attitude annoyed Gladion, who questioned the boy's motivation for joining the tournament. Gladion's words angered Sun, who accidentally activated a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} that defeated Type: Null before passing out from exhaustion. Though Gladion still had an active Pokémon, Sun was declared the winner. Afterward, Gladon left to find a place to train so he may prepare to face the [[Ultra Beast]]s, mentioning that he lost his chance to meet the [[guardian deities|tapu]].

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Gladion traveled to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to meet {{p|Tapu Koko}}. There, he met [[Guzma]], who praised Gladion's performance in the Iki Town tournament and offered him a job as an Enforcer for [[Team Skull]]. Gladion immediately accepted, but asked to know about the person Guzma mentioned when he left during the tournament. Guzma feigned ignorance about his earlier statement and had Gladion follow him to [[Po Town|Team Skull's hideout]].

In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Sun and Moon found an injured [[Kiawe]], who was attacked by Gladion in order to learn where the [[Ruins of Life]] were located. After healing Kiawe, the three traveled to the ruins, where they found Gladion trying to take {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who was healing from injuries it sustained from an earlier clash with a {{p|Xurkitree}}. Realizing Gladion wanted Tapu Lele to help fight off the Ultra Beasts, Moon suggested they work together. Sun refused to team up with someone who works for villains and decided to defeat him with his newly-mastered Z-Move. Due to not having a Z-Ring, Sun attempted to borrow Kiawe's, but it was destroyed by Type: Null before he could take it. Although Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, claiming that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he believed that. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who has her Pokémon distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his own Z-Ring.

In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and Dollar fired a perfected Inferno Overdrive at Type: Null, causing its mask to crack. After switching for {{p|Porygon}}, Sun tried the Z-Move again, but failed, leading to Dollar's defeat. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, declaring it too weak to help him with the Ultra Beasts. As he left, Gladion revealed that something must be trying to break into their world through the wormholes.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Gladion arrived at [[Po Town]]. There, he was attacked by the Team Skull Admin, [[Plumeria]], who wanted to see if Gladion was skilled enough to be an Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude angered Plumeria to the point where she refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria told Gladion to follow her, Gladion complied, but was momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} jumped past him.

In ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]'', Gladion appeared at Po Town to battle the Ultra Beasts that Guzma summoned with the {{p|Cosmog}} he received from the [[Aether Foundation]]. Gladion revealed Guzma was being used by the Aether Foundation president, [[Lusamine]], so she could create a paradise for herself and the Ultra Beasts she covets. Guzma rejected Gladion's accusation, but was captured by a {{p|Nihilego}} and dragged into a wormhole. The other Ultra Beasts escaped from Po Town's barriers, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. When the Captains asked Gladion how they could help, Gladion refused to help and said they wouldn't be of any use before riding off with Type: Null.

In ''[[PASM22|The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu]]'', Gladion, [[Professor Kukui]], [[Molayne]], [[Sophocles]], and [[Acerola]] fought off a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], which was being used as a shelter for those caught up in the Ultra Beasts' rampage. While Type: Null easily defeated Celesteela, Gladion was momentarily distracted when [[Lillie]] appeared and called out to him. Taking the opportunity, Guzzlord leapt in to attack Lillie, only to be easily swatted away by Type: Null, who evolved into a {{p|Silvally}} while doing so. Lillie revealed that three months ago, she stole [[Nebby]] and ran away from [[Aether Paradise]] after Lusamine tried to use Nebby's power for her own goals. When Lillie revealed she also stole a [[Sun Flute]] from Lusamine, Gladion decided that they should head towards the [[Poni Altar]].

In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Gladion and Lillie traveled through [[Poni Island]]. Gladion revealed he planned on getting the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} to help him destroy the Ultra Beasts. As they traveled, a {{p|Xurkitree}} appeared and attacked them. Gladion and Silvally fought Xurkitree, but Nebby flew out of his hands and met with another {{p|Cosmoem}}. After Xurkitree was defeated, Lillie and Gladion met with Sun and [[Hapu]]. They learned that the Sun and [[Moon Flute]]s were a pair meant to played at the Poni Altar. The guardian deities of Alola appeared and took Sun and both flutes to the Poni Altar while Lillie, Gladion, and Hapu chased after them.

In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', Gladion and Lillie helped [[Anabel]] corner and capture [[Faba]]. At the Altar, Gladion and the others found that Sun and Moon managed to evolve Nebby and the other Cosmoem into Lunala and Solgaleo, respectively. Anabel received a call from {{adv|Looker}}, who told her that a large number of Ultra Beasts made their way to Poni Island. While Moon, Gladion, Anabel, and Hapu fought off the beasts, Solgaleo was possessed by a {{p|Necrozma}} that appeared from a wormhole. Necrozma grabbed Sun and dragged him into the wormhole, forcing Moon and Lunala to chase after them.

Six months later, in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lusamine disappeared while Faba had managed to take control of the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. At the [[Aether House]], [[Wicke]] told Gladion and Lillie that Lusamine was found on Poni Island playing with a group of Ultra Beasts. Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, but was told to stay behind as he hadn't fully recovered from the injuries he sustained from being exposed to the energy from Silvally's evolution. Wicke decided the best option was for her to return to Aether Paradise and gather information before making their next move.

In ''[[PASM31|Ray of Light!! Through the Crack in the Sky!]]'', Lillie told Gladion that their father, [[Mohn]], was still alive in Alola somewhere. Hoping that telling Lusamine the information would convince her to return to her old self, Lillie decided to go and meet with their mother. Before Lillie left, Gladion suggested she do so dressed in the clothes she picked for herself, not the ones Lusamine picked for her.

Later, Gladion traveled to Aether Paradise, where he found Moon locked in a cell after Faba captured her. After freeing her, Gladion and Moon confronted Faba, telling him that his plans were over. Faba retaliated by tricking [[Ryuki]] into battling Gladion and Moon, buying him enough time to try and escape. Gladion allowed Moon to use Silvally in place of her actual Pokémon, which were taken by Faba and hidden away. While Gladion kept Ryuki busy, Moon went ahead to retrieve her Pokémon and make medicine for Gladion's injuries. After taking down Ryuki's first Pokémon, Gladion called off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee. Once he learned others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them. When Silvally returned, Moon was absent, having gone elsewhere with Lunala. Gladion then left to stop Faba from escaping, only to find the man cornered by Sun's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], who aimed to make Faba pay for his crimes. Faba's intense fear attracted several Nihilego that emerged from a nearby wormhole. Gladion and Cent were forced to watch as Faba was dragged into the wormhole, his fear turning into happiness as he was affected by the Nihilego's neurotoxins.

Months later, Gladion teamed up with [[Dulse]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] to traverse through Ultra Space and rescue Faba. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.

==Trivia==
* Gladion shares some similarities with {{ga|Silver}}: both are [[rival]]s who stole their first Pokémon and are children of main antagonists.
* Gladion is the second rival to own a [[Legendary Pokémon]], the first being [[N]].
* Gladion's theme may be a remix of 'farewell' from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] as it shares similar bars.
* Only in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the [[Player character]] picks Litten as their [[Starter Pokémon]], Gladion's Lucario will be level 55 during the battle at Mount Lanakila, while it will be level 53 if either Rowlet or Popplio was chosen.

'''N''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｎ|エヌ}}''' ''N'') is a character in {{4v|Black|White|2}}. In Pokémon Black and White, he is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s, the puppet leader of [[Team Plasma]], and aspires to create separate worlds for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. His full name is '''Natural Harmonia Gropius''' (Japanese: '''ナチュラル・ハルモニア・グロピウス''' ''Natural Harmonia Gropius'').<ref name="Masuda blog 539">http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=539</ref>

==In the core series==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
[[File:Young N.png|left|250px|thumb|N as a child]]
[[File:NClose.png|200px|thumb|A close-up of N in [[N's Castle|his castle]] after the final battle]]
When N was young, he was orphaned and left in the woods; there, he was raised by Pokémon. One day, [[Ghetsis]] came, claiming to be his father, and raised him to be king of [[Team Plasma]]. According to [[Anthea and Concordia|Concordia]], "N's heart is pure and innocent".

As a child, he was raised together with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and was isolated from [[human]]s. Ghetsis would only let N see Pokémon that had been hurt by humans. Based on the contents of his room in [[N's Castle|his castle]], as a child he appeared to be interested in skateboarding, transportation (such as planes and trains), basketball, and darts. He also had many brand new toys. Pokémon have played with his toys, as his skateboard is covered in claw marks and scratches. The [[Seven Sages]] educated him in many subjects.

In the opening of Black and White, N is clothed in special garb and is crowned by Ghetsis in the throne room of N's Castle. During the ceremony, as the other sages watch, N remembers his childhood spent with his Pokémon friends.

In Black and White, N serves as an anti-villain, being the secondary antagonist, yet a good-natured person who sees Pokémon as his friends and is generally rather amicable toward the {{player}} as well. At several points during the game, he appears before the player to battle.

In Black and White, the player first meets N in [[Accumula Town]] after Team Plasma's public rally and Ghetsis' speech, where he challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]]. He again appears outside of the [[Nacrene Gym]], for another battle, and later at [[Nimbasa City]], where he asks the player to talk to him while riding the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. During this excursion, N reveals that he is the leader of Team Plasma; Ghetsis had asked him to assist him in Team Plasma's liberation of Pokémon. It is confirmed after the ride when a group of Plasma Grunts address him as their leader, and he battles the player to allow them time to get away. He is again encountered at the [[Chargestone Cave]], where he battles the player, and lastly, in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he successfully befriends {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}.

When the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}, after beating the [[Elite Four]], the player finds N having already defeated {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]]. When the player arrives, N summons his castle from under the ground. The castle attaches itself to the Pokémon League, and as he enters the castle, N challenges the player to come and face him.

Within the castle's throne room, N tells the player that his goal is to create separate worlds for both humans and Pokémon, saying that he is willing to battle even if his Pokémon are hurt. To combat the player, he summons Zekrom{{sup/5|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}. As N's dragon appears, the player's [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|Bl}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}} is revived into the opposing dragon, and N encourages the player to battle it.

Once the dragon is caught, N will challenge the player. After N is defeated, Ghetsis appears and reveals he had made N befriend Zekrom{{sup/5|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, having used him all along, with his intention having been for him to remain the only Pokémon user and thus rule over everybody else. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away.

After the battle, N apologizes, walks to a hole to outside on edge of the throne room, lets out his [[Legendary Pokémon]], and bids a final farewell to the player. Then, after the credit-roll, an epilogue movie plays in which Zekrom{{sup/5|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, with N on top, hovers above the clouds and, activating its tail's engine, accelerates away.

After the player finds the other six sages for [[Looker]], he says that he has heard that N was seen in a distant land with a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], N returns to save {{p|Kyurem}} from Ghetsis at the [[Giant Chasm]]. When his Legendary dragon is absorbed by Kyurem to transform to Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}, he pleads the player to stop Ghetsis and get it back. After Kyurem and Ghetsis have been defeated, N will thank the player and leave. He's later found again at the entrance to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, giving the player {{HM|05|Waterfall}}.

After the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], N will appear in Nimbasa City at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel on [[Days of the week|Fridays]], and N's {{p|Zoroark}} will appear on Victory Road, leading the player to the ruins of N's Castle, which N and the player walk around together. In the throne room, N asks the player to battle him and his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}. After the player defeats him, N reverts his dragon to its dormant [[Dragon Stones|stone form]] and gives it to the player, telling them to go to Dragonspiral Tower to revive and catch it.

After the player has battled against Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} at Dragonspiral Tower, N arrives to congratulate the player and informs that Kyurem has returned to the Giant Chasm. After Kyurem has been caught or knocked out by the player, N can be met at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel on Fridays. N then returns to the ruins of his castle, which now form part of Victory Road, for a rematch with different Pokémon depending on the [[Season (mechanic)|season]].

=====Released=====
{{main|N's Pokémon}}
These Pokémon were {{pkmn2|released}} by N at some point before the events of Black 2 and White 2. Once the player has used the [[Memory Link]] function to see a flashback of N releasing his Pokémon, they can encounter these Pokémon in the wild and catch them. The only exception to this is {{TP|N|Zorua}}, which can be received as a {{pkmn2|gift}} from [[Rood]] without the need to use Memory Link. Once caught, these Pokémon will have N as their [[Original Trainer]] and N's [[Trainer ID number]].

===Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder===
[[File:N FAT.png|thumb|230px|N in Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]
N appears in every chapter of [[Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]] as the king of [[Team Plasma]], known for harshly punishing any failure by grunts and wishing to turn [[Unova]] into a country inhabited only by Pokémon. He is first seen wearing a cape in a town in Unova, where he is approached by Shin who asks him for a battle, impressed by his {{p|Purrloin}}. He responds that he is not a Pokémon Trainer, but merely a Traveler. Several Team Plasma grunts then appear and snatch up his Purrloin, not realising that he is their boss. Shin is angry about them stealing Pokémon, but N states that he should not get involved because it'd be dangerous for him, but Shin replies that he doesn't mind.

As they follow the grunts, N questions Shin's reasons for desperately trying to rescue his Purrloin if he is just a Pokémon Trainer who uses Pokémon as tools, to which he replies that traveling together with a Pokémon is just more fun. N overhears a pair of {{p|Pidove}} talking, to which Shin begs N to teach him how to understand Pokémon language, leading N to call him an odd Pokémon Trainer.

Catching up with Togari in a rocky plateau, he wonders why humans give orders to Pokémon to make them hurt each other, and tells Shin he is just saving Pokémon to make himself feel good, which he rejects, stating that being with a Pokémon is more fun for both the Trainer and the Pokémon as N hears Shin and his {{TP|Shin|Tepig}}'s voices in unison.
N feels that Shin is stirring some emotion within him, saying that Shin really is an odd Pokémon Trainer for getting Purrloin back for him, and Shin decides to travel together with N as his journey will be more fun if they're together.

The second chapter starts as Shin and N are trying to return a {{p|Blitzle}} to its {{p|Zebstrika}} herd, but though having being asked to by the Blitzle, the Zebstrika are too scared to think because they are humans. N, realising this when Shin attacks with his {{p|Pignite}}, jumps in the way and takes the attack instead, getting severely burned upon his arms. He says that despite being in pain, it's fine if to stop a Pokémon from being hurt, explaining his dream to create a world where Pokémon can live happily by using the power of [[Legendary Pokémon]].
[[File:Shin and N FAT.png|thumb|left|250px|N and Shin]]
Shin replies that it's a dream he will support too, but N advises him to find his own dream. As they arrive at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], N and Shin are separated by a falling pillar. N suggests that they should each make their separate way to the top floor where the Legendary Pokémon resides, but as Shin tries to ascend the tower, he is met by Togari who blocks him upon the orders of his "King"—to give him time to befriend Zekrom.

Finally, Shin arrives, and is surprised that no-one is there but N. N introduces Shin to his new friend who will fulfill his dream, {{p|Zekrom}}, this time stating in full that his dream is to free Pokémon from foolish humans and create a place they can live happily by making a country just for Pokémon. Shin realises his dream is the same as the dream of the "King" of [[Team Plasma]], to which N replies is him himself, and argues that there is no other choice as the world as it exists just gets Pokémon hurt. As he flies off upon Zekrom's back, he tells Shin that though he despises humans, Shin alone he'll allow to live in the world he creates.

In chapters three and four N is shown standing on the rubble of the Pokémon League having defeated the Elite Four and states [[Alder]] is next; and is explained by Alder that N told him that nobody but a Pokémon Trainer by the name of Shin could stand up to him, and sent Alder to help him become the Hero of Fire by controlling Reshiram.

In the final chapter Shin arrives at the secret headquarters of [[Team Plasma]], [[N's Castle]] to fight N. N decides that Shin is after all just another human who cannot hear the weeping voices of Pokémon, summoning Zekrom to do battle and easily defeating Shin, saying that the strength of the Legendary Pokémon depend on how strong their hero's ideal or truth is, with his being the strongest having heard the weeping voices of Pokémon for so long, and the pain of separation will be only an instant of pain among a future free of it, as while humans live together with Pokémon, there will always be Pokémon hurt and crying somewhere.

Shin replies that if he was a real hero he'd save everyone, not just Pokémon, to which N replies that if that is true, show him his resolution through Reshiram. However, Shin gets defeated again, with him and Reshiram getting trapped under rubble, and {{p|Emboar}} unable to produce a flame. Yet he proclaims that he'll never give in until the very end, and Reshiram sets Emboar's fist on fire with its flame, to give it the power to attack through Zekrom's shield of thunder. However, as Emboar attempts to punch through it, instead it combines with the flame on his fist to become a piece of the Original Pokémon's power, a ball of flaming thunder, and Shin states that while N may be strong alone, Emboar's power now is a power they have only created by everyone working together, and Emboar punches out Zekrom.

Some time later, N lies together with Shin on the roof of his castle, realising that perhaps the world is not as black and white as he calculated, and that he will disband Team Plasma and rework his ideals over again from the start. Admitting that he too enjoyed their battle, he bids farewell to Shin as he flies off on Zekrom, wishing that perhaps one day they may meet and battle again.

====Pokémon====
N refuses to call the Pokémon he befriends "his Pokémon", instead naming them "his friends".

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Junichi Masuda reveals information on N}}
* N shares several similarities with [[AZ]] from the [[Generation VI]] games.
** Both use names made up of just capital letters.
** They both befriend the {{player}} at the end of the game.
** Both of their identities are unknown until late in the game.
** Both are related to the leaders of [[villainous team]]s.
** Both hold the title of king before being dethroned in some way.
* The cube hanging from N's belt is a sliding puzzle similar to a {{wp|Void Cube}}, and has been in his possession since childhood. It's one of many design elements reflecting the character's mathematical motif, and also resembles the first iteration of a {{wp|Menger sponge}}, a geometric figure that simultaneously has infinite surface area and zero volume.
** N's concept artwork and the accompanying notes indicate that the puzzle cube might have been relevant to the game's plot at one point and was going to show a central cube with a keyhole that would appear when the puzzle was solved.
* Counting from middle C = 1, the notes in the four ascending arpeggios at the start of N's battle themes correspond to the first eight prime numbers (D, E, G, B, F', A', E<nowiki>'', G''</nowiki> = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19).
* N, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] are the only Trainers in {{game|Black and White|s}} with animated battle sprites.
* Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance.
* N is the first NPC to own a Legendary Pokémon outside of a battle facility.
* Even if the player battles his Zekrom or Reshiram in Easy Mode or Challenge Mode, where it is levels 65 and 75 respectively, it will still be level 70 when the player battles it at Dragonspiral Tower.
* N has used all 17 [[type]]s of Pokémon that existed in Generation V.
* Of the four seasonal teams he uses in Black 2 and White 2, his winter team is the only one to have a Pokémon introduced in Generation V: {{p|Vanilluxe}}.
* Over the course of the games he appears in, N uses Pokémon of 42 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}, more than any other NPC in the Pokémon games.
* N is fought the most times of all villainous team leader. However, he uses the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|As a Trainer class|Pokémon Trainer}} class during his first two battles.
* N speaks very quickly, as indicated by the fact that his dialogue is printed faster than that of other characters and by Cheren's comment upon first meeting him: "Slow down. You talk too fast." Regardless of what speed the player has the dialogue set at, N's dialogue prints at the fastest speed. If the dialogue is set to "fast", N's speech will print even faster, at a speed unique to him.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], N is rumored to have been born from Pokémon.<ref name="Masuda blog 539 (English)">https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2011/10/index.html</ref>
* N is 1.80 m tall (5'11").
* An article in the May 2013 edition of ''PASH!'' estimated that N is about 20 years old.
* N's [[Trainer ID number]] is 00002.
* N is the only [[core series]] {{cat|Villainous team leaders|villainous team leader}} introduced as of [[Generation VII]] to not appear in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. This is likely because he was only [[Team Plasma]]'s puppet leader, whereas [[Ghetsis]], who did appear, is the true mastermind behind the organization.
** N is also the only core series villainous team leader introduced as of Generation VII to not be encountered at [[Team Rocket's Castle]].
* N is the only person who is known to have turned down the chance to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* In Pokémon Black and White, N's Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}} is programmed to always use {{m|Fusion Bolt}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{m|Fusion Flare}}{{sup/5|W}} on the first turn of the final battle against N.
* Aside from the final battle, all of N's teams in Pokémon Black and White consist of Pokémon found at or near of the area where he's battled.
* According to the Theme Skills for N in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], N is considered a [[rival]].
** This makes N the first rival to own a Legendary Pokémon.

Necrozma (Pokémon)

Zacian888: /* Trivia */Considering that Necrozma is the first Pokémon to be a main antagonist in a core series game, I think its valid to point this on the trivia.

'''Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネクロズマ''' ''Necrozma'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Necrozma has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|three other forms]].

* '''Dusk Mane Necrozma''', {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}, a fusion with {{p|Solgaleo}} using the [[N-Solarizer]].
* '''Dawn Wings Necrozma''', {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}, a fusion with {{p|Lunala}} using the [[N-Lunarizer]].
* '''Ultra Necrozma''', {{2t|Psychic|Dragon}}, a form obtainable only in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], when either Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma uses [[Ultra Burst]].

Necrozma is the [[game mascot]] of both [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], appearing on the boxart as Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively.

Necrozma is a member of the [[Light trio]] along with {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

==Biology==
Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body appears to be constructed out of a black crystalline material. The black color is a result of impurities building up within it as a result of its deep slumber. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center. Its face is actually a prism-like object known as the brain prism, which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white.<ref>[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]</ref> Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.

Necrozma can take control of {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} by fusing with them, dominating their bodies and minds to assume its '''Dusk Mane Necrozma''' or '''Dawn Wings Necrozma''' forms, respectively. Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing the limitless energy produced by their light, Solgaleo and Lunala constantly glow in a similar manner to their Radiant Sun and Full Moon phases while fused. In both cases, the host's body is covered in parts of Necrozma's body, which is arranged like armor.

Dusk Mane Necrozma has armor around its paws, head, and sides. Necrozma's tail splits into two and attaches to the sides of Solgaleo's torso and its large claws extend from Solgaleo's back. The front feet have five black claws attached to it with two V-shaped crystals on top of it while the back foot has only three claws. It has a triangular helmet with a long, thin antenna on each side and Necrozma's brain prism prominently displayed. Solgaleo's own eyes and nose are visible as bright, blue lights. The host's tail gains three black spikes attached to each other, as well as three spikes under the chin. A structure similar to one of Necrozma's legs extends from its back. Using the armor on its chest, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-8.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dusk Mane Solgaleo]</ref>

Dawn Wings Necrozma has armor around its torso, head, and certain parts of its wings and tail. It also has a triangular helmet with the brain prism visible, as well as Lunala's own eyes visible as glowing pink lights. Necrozma's arms extend from the center of its chest. The armor surrounding its body has two large spikes jutting up from around its shoulders and four, glowing pink lights in the center. On its lower back are two thin, antennae-like growths extending downward. A structure similar to Necrozma's tail extends from the center of its back, and like its Dusk Mane form, can be used as a form of propulsion. There are eleven crystalline spikes attached around the body, four each on the wings, and three on Lunala's tail. These spines are capable of firing dark energy.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-9.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dawn Wings Lunala]</ref>

Once it absorbs enough light, Necrozma can undergo a process called [[Ultra Burst]] to reclaim its true form: '''Ultra Necrozma''', a colossal dragon of pure light energy. Its size makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Psychic}}. The various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body are rearranged as a sort of "skeleton" for the rest of Ultra Necrozma's body. These pieces take on a golden glow from the light but return to black without it. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored {{wp|Heterochromia iridum|heterochromic}} eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of its former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top.

Ultra Necrozma's body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in their path.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-17.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Ultra Necrozma]</ref> As seen in the [[SM089|anime]], when Necrozma uses up all its light it enters into a deep slumber unless it absorbs more light.

Necrozma originates from [[Ultra Space]] and is capable of opening and traveling through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In [[Ultra Megalopolis]], it is known as the "'''Blinding One'''" (Japanese: '''{{tt|かがやきさま|Kagayaki-sama}}''' ''Radiant One''). It once had the ability to give light, but lost this ability after being injured by ancestors of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] in an attempt to steal its light; [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] theorize that the [[Sparkling Stone]]s used to perform Z-Moves are fragments of Necrozma's body that it lost upon this injury. Necrozma displays extremely violent behavior due to the constant, maddening pain it suffers in its incomplete state, as it searches for the light it requires to sustain itself and regain its original form, going so far as to steal light from other beings and places. This behavior caused it to be feared as a "pillager of light" in ancient Alola. When fused to either Solgaleo or Lunala, it becomes even more vicious to the point of going on an uncontrollable rampage. As a result, it brutally attacks anything it sees as a foe with either its claws or its lasers, which can cut through anything. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned.

Necrozma is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Prismatic Laser}} and {{m|Photon Geyser}}, the latter of which can be upgraded into the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}} while in its Ultra Necrozma form. Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma can also learn {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}'s signature moves {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, respectively, and upgrade them into their exclusive Z-Moves {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Necrozma anime.png|thumb|250px|Necrozma in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma|Necrozma (anime)}}=====
Necrozma physically debuted in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]''. It was an antagonist in an arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' involving {{AP|Poipole}}'s homeworld until ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it was restored back to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}} when given Ultra Aura by the people of Alola. Its Ultra Beast codename, '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''), was given in the anime only.

====Minor appearances====
{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}} debuted in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', during a fantasy. [[Acerola]] showed {{Ash}} a book containing a legend detailing the origins of [[Alola]], in which Ultra Necrozma, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}} first brought light to the [[region]]. The ancient people dubbed Necrozma, who shined the brightest out of all three, the "Blinding One". {{TRT}} also heard the story and contacted {{an|Giovanni}} about it, only to find out from [[Matori]] that he already knew of Necrozma and ended the transmission, much to their surprise.

====Form change====
When Necrozma is fused, it tries to learn a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. If Necrozma changes to its normal form, it immediately forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Necrozma knows is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Confusion}}.

==Trivia==
* Necrozma has many differences from the other members of [[Light trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only member to have its own exclusive Z-Move and [[Z-Crystal]] (Solgaleo and Lunala share theirs with {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}} and Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively).
** It is the only member without a pre-evolved form.
** It is the only member to have more than one signature [[Ability]], as it has two.
** It is the only member with multiple [[signature move]]s.
** It is the only member with a [[base stat]] that is not a {{wp|prime number}} (Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma's {{stat|Speed}} stats).
* Necrozma's base form shares its battle theme with {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Necrozma has a catch rate of 3 and a base [[experience]] yield of 120.
** Necrozma is the only Pokémon to have its catch rate change from the lowest of all Pokémon (3) to the highest of all Pokémon (255) between games.
** This means that, as of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Necrozma is tied with {{p|Eternatus}} for having the highest catch rate of any Legendary Pokémon.
* Dawn Wings Necrozma is tied with {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Ultra Necrozma is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 754.
* Necrozma has the [[List of Pokémon by shape|most shapes]] of all Pokémon with a total of four between its different forms.
* Necrozma's status as an [[Ultra Beast]] differs between media.
** In the [[core series]] games, Necrozma is not an Ultra Beast. [[Beast Ball]]s are ineffective against it and regular Poké Balls are normally effective against it. Additionally, Necrozma's Pokémon Sun Pokédex entry and [[Dulse]] clarify that it is similar to the Ultra Beasts, but not one of them.
*** In [[Pokémon HOME]], Necrozma is not registered as a species of Ultra Beast.
** In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it, alongside the other members of the [[Light trio]] and their pre-evolved forms, are referred to as Ultra Beasts before their true identities are discovered. Necrozma is given the codename of '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').
** In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Necrozma is considered an Ultra Beast, with Beast Balls being used to attempt and eventually succeed in catching it.
** In the TCG, Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma are classified as {{TCG|Ultra Beast}}s, while its base form is not.
** In [[Pokémon Duel]], all forms of Necrozma are considered Ultra Beasts.
* Necrozma is fought three times in the main story of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|a core series game]], the most of all Legendary Pokémon.
* Necrozma has access to the most exclusive [[Z-Crystal]]s with a total of three.
* As seen in the climax of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Necrozma is able to fuse with Solgaleo and Lunala without the need for [[N-Solarizer]] or [[N-Lunarizer]], and can use [[Ultra Burst]] without the [[Ultranecrozium Z]].
* Necrozma's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 Attack and 2 Special Attack is unique.
* Of the Pokémon capable of fusion with another Pokémon, Necrozma is the only one that has an additional transformation. It is also the only Pokémon in which the player can legitimately have both fused forms on a single save file due to the fact that each of Necrozma's fusions utilize their own [[Key Item]].
* Necrozma is the first Pokémon to serve as the main antagonist of a core series game.

===Origin===
Necrozma could be based on the concept of {{wp|prism}}s and {{wp|light refraction}}. It may also incorporate similarities, both literal and symbolic, to {{wp|black dwarf}}s, {{wp|black hole}}s, or {{wp|neutron star}}s.

Necrozma's Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of {{wp|Solar eclipse|solar}} and {{wp|lunar eclipse}}s, respectively. The forms' alternate names in Japanese, 日食 ''nisshoku'' (solar eclipse) and 月食 ''gesshoku'' (lunar eclipse) can also be literally translated as "eating the sun/moon", reflecting how Necrozma absorbs Solgaleo or Lunala to assume those forms. Its Ultra Necrozma form may be based on {{wp|giant star}}s or {{wp|supernova}}e. Design-wise, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma retain Solgaleo's {{wp|lion}} and Lunala's {{wp|bat}} bases, respectively, while Ultra Necrozma resembles a four-winged {{wp|wyvern}}. The fact that Necrozma transforms into a {{type|Dragon}} could be based on legends about the {{wp|Moʻo}}.

Necrozma's original form resembling an angelic being of light may be based on the concept of a {{wp|fallen angel}}. Specifically, it may draw inspiration from {{wp|Lucifer}} who is viewed as a bringer of light and associated with {{wp|Venus}}, the third brightest natural object in the sky behind only the Sun and the Moon, which are represented by the other 2 members of the Light trio.

====Name origin====
Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός ''nekrós'' (Ancient Greek for ''dead''), 黒 ''kuro'' (black), and πρῖσμα ''prîsma'' (Ancient Greek for ''prism''). It may also involve {{wp|Project Ozma}}, an experiment made to search for extraterrestrial life.
