'''May's Venusaur''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのフシギバナ''' ''Haruka's Fushigibana'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] caught by {{an|May}} during her travels through [[Hoenn]]. She was captured as a {{p|Bulbasaur}} along the way to [[Fortree City]] in a place known as the [[Forbidden Forest]]. As a Bulbasaur, she is voiced by 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' in the Japanese version, and by [[Tara Jayne]] in English.
'''May's Venusaur''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのフシギバナ''' ''Haruka's Fushigibana'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and her fourth overall.


==History==
==In animation==
[[File:Maybula.png|left|As a {{p|Bulbasaur}}|thumb]]
===History===
Bulbasaur was captured in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]'', although she had been featured in the series opening, ''[[Challenger!!]]'', for a short while before that. May was kidnapped by a hungry {{p|Skarmory}} and ended up lost in a place called the Forbidden Forest, a preserve for {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. Bulbasaur warmed up to May after she saved the little Grass-type from a fall. The other Grass-type Pokémon acted very hostile, though, and repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to {{p|Venusaur}}, the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', May was kidnapped by a hungry {{p|Skarmory}} and ended up lost in a reserve for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} called the [[Forbidden Forest]]. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur while trying to pick flowers. After being saved from a fall, Bulbasaur warmed up to May, but the other Pokémon in the reserve repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to {{p|Venusaur}}, her parent and the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.


As a Bulbasaur, she was distinctive from [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] in two ways. One, she had a gentler personality and a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead. Her second main distinction from Ash's was her knowledge of the move {{m|Petal Dance}} as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique {{m|SolarBeam}}.
In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', May sent out Bulbasaur to enjoy the sights as they went through a city. Bulbasaur quickly got distracted by some flowers in a truck and had to be rescued as the truck sped off. Later, at the Pokémon Center, May showed Professor Oak her Bulbasaur, which made Ash decide to bring his own {{AP|Bulbasaur}} over for a visit. When the Poké Ball arrived, it wouldn't open, making everyone believe that the Pokémon Center's Balls were stolen. The culprits were revealed to be {{TRT}}, who accidentally dropped Ash's Bulbasaur while escaping. The two Bulbasaur teamed up to stop Team Rocket. Once they found Team Rocket, the two Bulbasaur battled them, with Ash's Bulbasaur protecting and teaching May's how to fight. After rescuing the Pokémon, Professor Oak called back and asked for Ash's Bulbasaur to return so it could stop the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Grass}} Pokémon from fighting. Ash sent his Bulbasaur back to Professor Oak's Laboratory as May's Bulbasaur appeared to have made a positive change from the experience.
[[File:May Purika Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|left|Bulbasaur and May after winning the Purika Ribbon]]
In ''[[A Fan with a Plan]]'', May decided to use Bulbasaur in her upcoming [[Rank (Contest)|R1]] [[Rubello Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] after Drew called her undisciplined due to her clumsiness. Bulbasaur participated in the Contest in the [[AG078|next episode]]. Although initially excited to participate, she quickly became overwhelmed by the roaring crowd and large stage. May snapped at her when she tried to hide, and Bulbasaur reluctantly stepped forward to face [[Savannah]]'s {{p|Lairon}}. Due to her fear, she failed to follow May's commands and was declared unable to continue after a few attacks. Despite May's harsh attitude, she apologized later for losing sight of what was important.
[[File:May Beautifly Bulbasaur Hoenn Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|Bulbasaur and Beautifly in the Hoenn Grand Festival]]
In ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the {{ci|Purika}} Contest. In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], she started her performance by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}. As the leaves were flying through the air, she whipped them with the vines from her {{m|Vine Whip}} [[move|attack]], impressing [[Contest Judge|the judges]] and advancing May to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, she was seen defeating [[Kent]]'s {{p|Surskit }} to reach the final round, where she battled [[Harley's Cacturne]]. Their battle was a hard-fought one, but in the end, Bulbasaur was able to defeat the Scarecrow Pokémon with a [[Contest combination|combination]] of Razor Leaf and {{m|Petal Dance}}, giving May her fourth [[Hoenn]] [[Ribbon]].


She is also very fond of flowers. She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash brought it to Hoenn temporarily in ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', and further bonded with it in ''[[AG133|The Right Place at the Right Mime]]'', when May decided to leave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s ranch. Eventually, after journeying to Johto, May got Bulbasaur back from Oak, and during her time away from Ash, it evolved twice into {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.  
When May got the five required Ribbons, Bulbasaur participated in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Bulbasaur was used in the first round of the
battle stage against [[Harley]]'s Cacturne and {{p|Banette}}, alongside {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. The duo showed off stunning combinations, such as with {{m|Silver Wind}} and Razor Leaf, and won the match. Bulbasaur participated in the next battle, alongside {{TP|May|Combusken}}, against {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}'s {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Pinsir}}. The two ended the round with more points, advancing May to the next stage.


She debuted as a Venusaur in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', where she defeated a {{p|Marill}} for May in the second battle round of the [[Wallace Cup]]. Not much is known about Venusaur since she only had a small cameo appearance.
=====Kanto=====
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Bulbasaur was one of the Pokémon May decided to bring with her when she traveled through the [[Kanto]] region. Bulbasaur reunited with Ash's Bulbasaur when May stopped at Professor Oak's Lab to meet up with Ash. The two Bulbasaur were later used in a battle against Team Rocket, where May's Bulbasaur was impressed by Ash's Bulbasaur's skill. May decided to leave Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's Lab so she could learn more from Ash's Bulbasaur.

==Trivia==
* May capturing her Bulbasaur in a preserved location for {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon may be a reference to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] who was captured in the [[Hidden Village]] in [[Kanto]].
* Venusaur is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] to be owned by a main character that is seen in her final evolved form and unevolved form, but never in her middle form.
* Like Ash from [[Kanto]] has {{AP|Sceptile}}, a fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]], May from Hoenn has Venusaur, the fully-evolved Grass starter from Kanto.
** Venusaur is also the only first partner Pokémon owned by a main character to evolve off-screen twice.
* May's Venusaur is the only starter Pokémon owned by a member of the main cast that is seen in its final form and unevolved form, but never in its middle form.
*** Venusaur is also the first Pokémon owned by a main character to have done so.
* As of Venusaur, the entire set of fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] is now owned by regular characters: May owns Venusaur, {{Ash}} owns {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{Gary}} owns {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little heart spots on her head while {{Ash}}'s does not, and has since been confirmed female via gender differences after she evolved into Venusaur.
* Venusaur shares many similarities to [[Paul's Torterra]]. They are both in the final stages of the {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]. They have also been seen only in their first and final forms, not their middle forms, quite often in one, and only through a cameo/flashback in the other. They also are the final forms of [[Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} has that were in their basic forms at the time when the fully [[evolve]]d [[Pokémon]] was introduced.
** She is also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the animated series with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
** Venusaur is May's only Pokémon to have a confirmed gender.
* Venusaur's capture as a Bulbasaur marks the first time where one of [[Ash's friends]] acquires a {{p|Bulbasaur|species of Pokémon}} that Ash also {{AP|had|Bulbasaur}}.
* Venusaur is the first {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon to belong to a main character besides Ash.
* Venusaur, as a Bulbasaur, was the first first partner Pokémon to have been obtained by a main character outside its native region.
* Venusaur was the only Pokémon belonging to Ash's friends to have ever been left at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

May's Venusaur (Japanese: ハルカのフシギバナ Haruka's Fushigibana) was the third Pokémon that May caught in the Hoenn region, and her fourth overall.

In animation

History

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Hoenn

In Grass Hysteria!, May was kidnapped by a hungry Skarmory and ended up lost in a reserve for Grass-type Pokémon called the Forbidden Forest. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur while trying to pick flowers. After being saved from a fall, Bulbasaur warmed up to May, but the other Pokémon in the reserve repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to Venusaur, her parent and the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.

In Hokey Poké Balls!, May sent out Bulbasaur to enjoy the sights as they went through a city. Bulbasaur quickly got distracted by some flowers in a truck and had to be rescued as the truck sped off. Later, at the Pokémon Center, May showed Professor Oak her Bulbasaur, which made Ash decide to bring his own Bulbasaur over for a visit. When the Poké Ball arrived, it wouldn't open, making everyone believe that the Pokémon Center's Balls were stolen. The culprits were revealed to be Team Rocket, who accidentally dropped Ash's Bulbasaur while escaping. The two Bulbasaur teamed up to stop Team Rocket. Once they found Team Rocket, the two Bulbasaur battled them, with Ash's Bulbasaur protecting and teaching May's how to fight. After rescuing the Pokémon, Professor Oak called back and asked for Ash's Bulbasaur to return so it could stop the Water and Grass Pokémon from fighting. Ash sent his Bulbasaur back to Professor Oak's Laboratory as May's Bulbasaur appeared to have made a positive change from the experience.

Bulbasaur and May after winning the Purika Ribbon

In A Fan with a Plan, May decided to use Bulbasaur in her upcoming R1 Rubello Town Pokémon Contest after Drew called her undisciplined due to her clumsiness. Bulbasaur participated in the Contest in the next episode. Although initially excited to participate, she quickly became overwhelmed by the roaring crowd and large stage. May snapped at her when she tried to hide, and Bulbasaur reluctantly stepped forward to face Savannah's Lairon. Due to her fear, she failed to follow May's commands and was declared unable to continue after a few attacks. Despite May's harsh attitude, she apologized later for losing sight of what was important.

Bulbasaur and Beautifly in the Hoenn Grand Festival

In A Cacturne for the Worse, Bulbasaur was used in the Purika Contest. In the Appeals Round, she started her performance by using Razor Leaf. As the leaves were flying through the air, she whipped them with the vines from her Vine Whip attack, impressing the judges and advancing May to the Contest Battles. There, she was seen defeating Kent's Surskit to reach the final round, where she battled Harley's Cacturne. Their battle was a hard-fought one, but in the end, Bulbasaur was able to defeat the Scarecrow Pokémon with a combination of Razor Leaf and Petal Dance, giving May her fourth Hoenn Ribbon.

When May got the five required Ribbons, Bulbasaur participated in the Hoenn Grand Festival, where Bulbasaur was used in the first round of the battle stage against Harley's Cacturne and Banette, alongside Beautifly, in Rhapsody in Drew. The duo showed off stunning combinations, such as with Silver Wind and Razor Leaf, and won the match. Bulbasaur participated in the next battle, alongside Combusken, against Anthony's Swalot and Pinsir. The two ended the round with more points, advancing May to the next stage.

Kanto

In The Right Place and the Right Mime, Bulbasaur was one of the Pokémon May decided to bring with her when she traveled through the Kanto region. Bulbasaur reunited with Ash's Bulbasaur when May stopped at Professor Oak's Lab to meet up with Ash. The two Bulbasaur were later used in a battle against Team Rocket, where May's Bulbasaur was impressed by Ash's Bulbasaur's skill. May decided to leave Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's Lab so she could learn more from Ash's Bulbasaur.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

In Pruning a Passel of Pals!, May was revealed to have retrieved Bulbasaur from Professor Oak's care and fully evolved her into a Venusaur. She was seen during the second battle round of the Wallace Cup, where she defeated a Marill.

Personality and characteristics

With Ash's Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur and May

As a Bulbasaur, she proved to be a very sweet Pokémon. She was very willing to compete in Contests and do her best. She was very confident in most of her Contests. The only exception was her first Contest, in which her nervousness showed in her performance.

In Grass Hysteria!, she was shown to be very protective, as she helped protect May from all of the Pokémon that tried to attack her. In Hokey Poké Balls!, she was shown to be very friendly to other Pokémon, especially Ash's Bulbasaur.

She is also very fond of flowers. She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash temporarily brought it to Hoenn in Hokey Poké Balls! and further bonded with it in The Right Place and the Right Mime when May decided to leave her at Professor Oak's ranch.

She was distinctive from Ash's Bulbasaur in three ways: she had a gentler personality, a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead, and she was able to use the move Petal Dance as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique Solar Beam.

Whether she still holds on to these traits after her evolution is unknown.
