An '''old man''' is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]''. This article will refer to him by his title, as he was unnamed in the episode.

He is the owner of the {{p|Wailord}}-shaped steamboat, which is known to take travelers to [[Hearthome City]]. When {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} decided to get supplies before leaving, the old man offered to watch their Pokémon on the ship, where {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other Pokémon were left to their own devices. However, the old man quickly fell asleep and failed to watch them. The vessel left harbor after {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} accidentally jump started the engine, and was headed directly towards a waterfall. The old woke up in time and alerted Ash's group to the situation, even offering them his {{p|Mantine}} to help the Pokémon trapped on the boat before it goes over a waterfall.

The old man was apologetic for the mishap, though Ash and the others were glad the crisis was averted.

|desc=The old man called on his {{p|Mantine}}'s assistance to carry {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} towards the ship that was headed towards a waterfall and save the Pokémon inside. Mantine quickly caught up to the runaway steamboat, allowing Ash and Dawn to climb aboard and take control of the ship.

As the boat was turning back to the dock, it was about to crash into a massive rock. Ash's Pokémon attacked it, while Mantine took care of the debris with its brute force, saving the ship from any damage. This Mantine is also [[Giant Pokémon|larger than an average Mantine]].

None of Mantine's moves are known. }}
