Ash's Mijumaru (Japanese: サトシのミジュマル Satoshi's Mijumaru) is the second Pokémon that Ash caught in the Isshu region.

History

Ash first met Mijumaru in Professor Araragi's laboratory in BW001 as one of the Pokémon Shooti could choose to be his starter Pokémon. It took an interest in Ash after he called it cute, and followed him after he set out on his journey, mostly staying out of sight.

In BW002, Mijumaru rescued Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Kibago from Team Rocket by throwing its shell to pop their balloon, and defeated Jessie's Koromori as well.

In BW003, Mijumaru showed its interest in traveling with Ash and successfully convinced Ash to take it with him on his journey. In its attempt, it knocked Pikachu off Ash's shoulder. When Ash tried to catch it with a Poké Ball, it failed as it was still under Professor Araragi's ownership. He immediately called Araragi and requested she send him Mijumaru's Poké Ball. Later in the episode, Mijumaru protects Ash from a hot water spring using Water Gun, but begins to fall into the hot water, which is when Ash uses its Poké Ball to recall it, making it officially his.

In BW004, it was still attempting to get Ash's full attention, to the point where it let itself out of its Poké Ball at the start of a battle, even though Ash had already chosen Pikachu. However, it promptly changed its mind when it saw the opponent was a Futachimaru, its own evolved form.

Ash used Mijumaru in his gym battle at the Sanyou Gym in BW005. It battled against Dent and his Yanappu. It was scared of Yanappu at first, but with some encouragement from Ash and Pikachu, it decided to battle. Mijumaru was petrified with fear when Yanappu started charging SolarBeam. However, as the battle continued in BW006, it was able to use its shell to deflect the SolarBeam, as well as a Bullet Seed attack, and use Shell Blade to defeat Yanappu, winning the battle and earning Ash the Tri Badge.

Trivia

  • Mijumaru's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after DP190, featuring all the Isshu starters.
  • Similar to Aipom and Gible, it followed Ash behind his back and debuted few episodes earlier than its official capture.
  • Mijumaru is the first starter Pokémon that Ash has captured first in its region that isn't the region's Template:Type2 starter.
    • It is also the first starter Pokémon, other than Pikachu, Ash has obtained that was previously owned by the regional professor.
  • Like Ash's first Water-type starter Pokémon, Squirtle, Mijumaru wanted to be captured and was not battled.
    • Also, each Water-type starter Pokémon so far obtained by a main character was not battled, Squirtle and Mijumaru wanted to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for Totodile. Brock also did not battle Mudkip to obtain it. May received a Squirtle from Professor Oak and lastly, Dawn received Piplup from Professor Rowan.
  • Mijumaru seems to share a common trait with both Bayleef and Aipom, as all wanted Ash's full attention, and were jealous of the bond Pikachu has with Ash.
