Chespie (Japanese: ハリさん Hari-san) is Mairin's starter Pokémon that she received from Professor Sycamore. It remains outside its Poké Ball.

History

In the Mega Evolution Specials

Chespie in coma

Chespie first appeared in Mega Evolution Special I where it along with Mairin watched the battle between Alain and Astrid. After the battle, Chespie and Mairin went up to Alain when Mairin wanted to discuss to Alain about the different forms of Charizard and Absol. Chespie and Mairin followed Alain around while he battled various Mega Evolved Pokémon. Later, when Mairin encountered a Yellow Flower Flabébé, she had her Chespie battle her in order for Mairin to catch her. Chespie had trouble in the beginning as Flabébé was very fast. After Alain gave Mairin advice, Mairin had her Chespie use Toxic which weakened Flabébé enough and Mairin was able to catch her.

Chespie reappeared in Mega Evolution Special II where it was accompanying Mairin in Hoenn.

It reappeared in Mega Evolution Special III. It accompanied Mairin while she snuck onboard a helicopter as Alain forbid her from coming. It protected Mairin from ice shards caused by the rampage of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre who was trying to get a knocked out Alain to safety.

It reappeared in Mega Evolution Special IV, in which it accompanied Mairin to Lysandre Labs. After Alain refused to allow Mairin to travel with him, she asked Chespie to give her a moment alone. This resulted in Chespie following two scientists to a room where it found a Zygarde Core (Squishy) and some cells being subjected to some sort of evidently painful experiment. Chespie rescued Squishy after the equipment overloaded, but the energy Zygarde had been subjected to caused Chespie to fall into a coma, devastating Mairin.

In the XY series

Chespie made its first appearance outside the Mega Evolution specials alongside Mairin in A Meeting of Two Journeys!, at Lysandre Labs. Alain called Lysandre for an update on the situation, only to be informed that nothing had changed at the time.

It appeared again in The Synchronicity Test!, where Mairin sent Alain a video of her and Chespie. Though Chespie had shown no signs of improvement, she assured Alain that the two of them were fine, and told him to do his best. Lysandre claimed that Alain could revive Chespie by collecting Mega Evolution energy. In truth, Lysandre had no intention of helping the Spiny Nut Pokémon; the energy was actually to power a machine to influence the mind of Zygarde. After Lysandre's true colors were exposed, Mairin set out to rescue Chespie from Lysandre Labs, with the help of Serena and Professor Sycamore. Chespie was eventually rescued in The Right Hero for the Right Job!. However, it ended up absorbed by Lysandre's fallback plan, a Megalith Zygarde 50% Forme, in Rocking Kalos Defenses!, although it was eventually rescued by Ash and Alain in XY136, temporarily halting the Megalith Zygarde. The energy was absorbed by the Megalith Zygarde, and as a result, Chespie finally recovered. Squishy thanked it before leaving with Z2.

Chespie reappeared alongside its Trainer in XY137, where it received a medal from Professor Sycamore for the heroic efforts against Team Flare. In XY138, it danced with its Trainer and Alain.

It appeared again in XY140, where it was standing by Mairin's side.

Personality and characteristics

Chespie helping Mairin

Chespie tends to save its Trainer from trouble and helps her when she falls over. Chespie is also shown to be friendly with other Pokémon such as when it fist bumped Steven's Metagross after its battle. It shares some characteristics with Clemont's Chespin, it can act goofy and be clumsy, similar to its Trainer, but it has not been seen to be gluttonous or mischievous. Similar to Mairin, Chespie is a curious Pokémon with a strong sense of justice. It has been shown on several occasions to care deeply for its Trainer, using Vine Whip to prevent her from falling down and protecting her from harm.
