Ash's Turtwig

Ash's Turtwig (Japanese: サトシのナエトル Satoshi's Naetle) was the second Pokémon that Ash Ketchum captured in the Sinnoh region. Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 Shin'ichirō Miki.

Ash caught Turtwig in DP005. It had been living in the forest near an old woman's home, and it broke up fights among wild Pokémon in the area. After Team Rocket stole Ash's Pikachu, their balloon crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and his friends appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu, too, so it attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so it ran to challenge him. Turtwig and Pikachu battled, and Ash caught Turtwig.

Turtwig is a brave yet kind Pokémon that has high confidence for its small size. It apparently has a strong jaw, as it is often seen latching itself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection.

In DP006, Turtwig battled Shinji's Chimchar and lost. Although it held its own in battle, it appeared to hesitate upon receiving Ash's commands.
