'''Temacu''' (Japanese: '''ヒメカ''' ''Himeka'') is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''. Her English voice actress is [[Amy Birnbaum]] and her Japanese voice actress is 野上ゆかな ''Yukana Nogami''.
'''Temacu''' (Japanese: '''ヒメカ''' ''Himeka'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''.


She has quite an unusual name.  She explains that it's a combination of the first letters of the following [[Pokémon]]:  {{p|Teddiursa}} "Te" (Japanese: ヒメグマ ''Himeguma'' "ヒ" ''"Hi"''), {{p|Mareep}} "ma" (Japanese: メリープ ''Merriep'' "メ" ''"me"''), and {{p|Cubone}} "cu" (Japanese: カラカラ ''Karakara'' "カ" ''"ka"'').
Temacu is one of the few girls to fall in love with {{an|Brock}}, who caught her just before she tripped and fell into a fountain. Since that moment, she believed she had to marry Brock, but the confused Brock didn't reciprocate. Later, {{TRT}} attacked [[Temacu's father|her father]]'s laboratory and captured what they thought was a Pokémon, but it was actually Temacu. As she tried to get out of the balloon, she nearly fell again, but James caught her. This caused her to fall in love with James and want to marry him instead. Thinking they could get their hands on the Pokémon at the lab through Temacu's infatuation with James, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} forced him to play along, even if it meant that he had to marry her, though James was uncomfortable with the idea.


Temacu is one of the few girls to fall in love with [[Brock]]. While she was running to catch her {{p|Nidorina}} she nearly tripped and fell into a fountain. But Brock caught her in time before she fell.  Since that moment she "knew" that she had to marry Brock and even started to picture what their wedding would be like.  Instead of Brock being overjoyed by this, he acted confused and unsure.
To accommodate the new plan, Team Rocket changed outfits and made up a cover story about James saving Temacu from attackers for her father. Brock was heartbroken after he found out that Temacu had fallen for James. Soon, {{an|Misty}} pulled off Jessie's disguise, exposing the trio and prompting them to run away. When they were trying to escape, Misty ordered her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} to attack James with {{m|Water Gun}}. Temacu, worried for James's safety, jumped in front of the attack and fainted as a result.


However, this feeling for Brock didn't last long.  [[Team Rocket]] attacked her father's laboratory and thought they had captured a Pokémon; instead, they actually caught Temacu.  As she tried to get out of the balloon she nearly fell again but this time [[James]] was there to catch her. This caused her to now fall in love with James and now she wanted to marry him. Feeling that they could get their hands on the Pokémon at the lab, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} forced him to play along, even if it meant marrying her.  James was not at all comfortable with this idea.  
Later, Temacu's father explained to Ash and his friends that she had become obsessed with marriage since her cousin's recent wedding. Temacu eventually woke up, only to fall in love with the first man she saw: her doctor, who helped her to return her to her senses. This time, however, the feeling was mutual and the doctor proposed to Temacu at her bedside.


Team Rocket then change outfits and Temacu made up a story that James had saved her from the "terrorists" when she introduced him to her father.
She has quite an unusual name. She explained to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that it was a combination of the first letters of the following {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}: {{p|Teddiursa}} "Te" (Japanese: ヒメグマ ''Himeguma'' "ヒ" ''"Hi"''), {{p|Mareep}} "ma" (Japanese: メリープ ''Merriep'' "メ" ''"me"''), and {{p|Cubone}} "cu" (Japanese: カラカラ ''Karakara'' "カ" ''"ka"''). She also gave Brock and James their own combination nicknames to match their respective personalities.


Once Brock found out that Temacu had now fallen for James, he was crushed, since by this point he was starting to fall for Temacu.  Soon, [[Misty]] pulls off Jessie's disguise and Team Rocket makes a run for it. When they were trying to escape, She ordered her [[Misty's Politoed|Poliwhirl]] to attack James with {{m|Water Gun}}. Temacu, worried for James' safety, jumped in front of the Water Gun attack and then fainted.

Temacu

Temacu (Japanese: ヒメカ Himeka) is a character of the day who appeared in The Heartbreak of Brock.

Temacu is one of the few girls to fall in love with Brock, who caught her just before she tripped and fell into a fountain. Since that moment, she believed she had to marry Brock, but the confused Brock didn't reciprocate. Later, Team Rocket attacked her father's laboratory and captured what they thought was a Pokémon, but it was actually Temacu. As she tried to get out of the balloon, she nearly fell again, but James caught her. This caused her to fall in love with James and want to marry him instead. Thinking they could get their hands on the Pokémon at the lab through Temacu's infatuation with James, Jessie and Meowth forced him to play along, even if it meant that he had to marry her, though James was uncomfortable with the idea.

To accommodate the new plan, Team Rocket changed outfits and made up a cover story about James saving Temacu from attackers for her father. Brock was heartbroken after he found out that Temacu had fallen for James. Soon, Misty pulled off Jessie's disguise, exposing the trio and prompting them to run away. When they were trying to escape, Misty ordered her Poliwhirl to attack James with Water Gun. Temacu, worried for James's safety, jumped in front of the attack and fainted as a result.

Later, Temacu's father explained to Ash and his friends that she had become obsessed with marriage since her cousin's recent wedding. Temacu eventually woke up, only to fall in love with the first man she saw: her doctor, who helped her to return her to her senses. This time, however, the feeling was mutual and the doctor proposed to Temacu at her bedside.

She has quite an unusual name. She explained to Ash and his friends that it was a combination of the first letters of the following Pokémon: Teddiursa "Te" (Japanese: ヒメグマ Himeguma "ヒ" "Hi"), Mareep "ma" (Japanese: メリープ Merriep "メ" "me"), and Cubone "cu" (Japanese: カラカラ Karakara "カ" "ka"). She also gave Brock and James their own combination nicknames to match their respective personalities.
