Anthony (AG010)

Anthony

Anthony (Japanese: アントニー Antony) is a Pokémon Trainer from Hoenn, and a character of the day who appeared in You Said a Mouthful!.

He ran a private unofficial Gym for bragging rights, but cheated by having several other Pokémon stored inside his Pelipper's mouth, which allowed it to pull off attacks it wouldn't naturally learn and let it avoid weaknesses. Anthony was very arrogant and cruel to those he beat. This arrogance attracted the attention of Team Rocket, who found out about Anthony's scheme and blackmailed him into giving them his Pelipper and the other occupants of its bill, and tied him up inside his Gym. The Rocket trio took over Anthony's facility and went on to take any defeated challengers' Pokémon as their victory prize. Later, Team Rocket accidentally revealed the scheme to Ash, who helped recover Pelipper and the others.

After being untied by Max, Anthony apologized for his scheme. Afterwards, he agreed to close down his Gym and promised to work harder by properly training Pelipper, rather than cheating.

Anthony used his Pelipper, claiming it was the strongest Pokémon in the world. However it was all a ploy, and several other Pokémon were stored inside Pelipper's bill.

It first appeared in a battle against Ash and his Treecko. As the battle unfolded, he told Pelipper to use Vine Whip which it cannot learn, but used through help from Anthony's Bellsprout in Pelipper's bill. It was able to grab Treecko and knock it out. Ash sent out Taillow, but it was easily defeated by Magby's Flamethrower. Ash finally used Pikachu. He went in for a Thunder, which Pelipper also used and in the end the match ended in a draw.

Later, Team Rocket appeared in their plan to steal Pelipper. Anthony had Bellsprout use Vine Whip, but Team Rocket were able to use their mecha to grab onto Bellsprout's vines which revealed Anthony's ploy. They defeated Magby and Magnemite and blackmailed Anthony. Ash appeared to challenge a disguised Team Rocket, but as precaution, Jessie and James loaded up more Poké Balls inside Pelipper's mouth, and placed Meowth inside Pelipper as a "tactical controller." With the multi-talented Pokémon at their disposal, Team Rocket used Pelipper to defeat challengers and they amassed a horde of Pokémon as their prizes.

Ash selected Pikachu for his rematch. Pelipper started with Bellsprout's Vine Whip, which Pikachu managed to dodge. Meowth, inside Pelipper, then switched to Magby for a Smokescreen, which made a haze over Pikachu. Meowth brought back Bellsprout for a Razor Leaf, and then used Magby again for a Flamethrower. Because he could not find any stowed Water Pokémon to defeat Pikachu, Meowth chose to instead use Pelipper itself to fire the Water Gun. As he did so however, Pelipper shot water everywhere—at not only Pikachu, but Jessie and James as well, exposing Team Rocket as well as the Poké Balls and Meowth inside Pelipper's mouth. With the help of Pikachu, Team Rocket were sent blasting off.

Pelipper's known moves are Wing Attack, and Water Gun.
