Ash's Torkoal
Torkoal (Japanese: コータス Cotoise) was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash during his travels through Hoenn, after Taillow, Treecko, and Corphish. Its voice actor in Japanese is 三木眞一郎 Miki Shinchiro, and its English voice actor is unknown.
Ash caught Torkoal in the episode Torkoal, No Play!. Ash and his friends were traveling through the Valley of Steel when they saw a lone Torkoal being attacked by a Skarmory and Magneton. After Ash saved it, Torkoal burst into tears and ran away. Later, Ash helped it defeat Steelix and it decided to join him.
Torkoal has a rather strange personality, and it is very emotional. Seemingly without reason, it will burst into tears and shoot smoke from its nostrils. Torkoal is very nice and pretty much gets along with everyone. As of the latest Japanese episode, it has only been used in one Gym battle, against Norman and his Slakoth. It has had many battles against other trainers and has been quite successful, such as when it defeated a Scizor. Torkoal also seemed to have a friendship with the Spoink that had appeared to Ash's group on occasion, giving it assistance.
