Ash's Smashing Adventure

Ash's Smashing Adventure (known in Japan as Satoshi's Great Fray (Japanese: サトシの大乱闘, Hepburn: Satoshi no Dairantō)) is a Japanese anime series that serves as both a spin-off of the Pokémon anime AND an adaptation of the Super Smash Bros. video game series.

Season 01.5: The Tournament
After losing at the Indigo Plateau Conference, Ash Ketchum is given a chance at being the best fighter in the multiverse when he is invited by a mysterious fighter—simply known as "The Master"—to take part in the multiversal Super Smash Bros. fighting tournament; however, the tournament may not be what he expected, nor in a world he could even imagine...and he probably doesn't know that there is something sinister behind the scenes.

Season 04.5: Crazy Vengeance
After earning the Storm Badge at Cianwood Gym, Ash and his friends are attacked by a returning Master Hand...and his brother: Crazy Hand. Now, it's up to Ash and his friends to team up with heroes (and some villains) as they travel throughout the multiverse.

He struck a false allegiance with the royal family to gain their trust. When the fourth Zelda incarnation caught wind of his true plan, Ganondorf launched an invasion of Hyrule Castle, chasing the princess out of the land. After Link entered the Sacred Realm and pulled the Master Sword, Ganondorf broke in and attempted to take the Triforce but could only take the Triforce of Power. He then launched an invasion of Hyrule. Seven years later, Ganondorf discovered that Zelda and the third incarnation of Link possessed the Triforces of Wisdom and Courage, respectively. Ganondorf kidnapped Zelda to lure Link into a final battle, leading to one of three outcomes:
 * In the Din Universe, Ganondorf triumphed and extracted the final two Triforces from Link and Zelda. With the Triforce complete, Ganondorf transformed into the Prince of Darkness Ganon, but the seven Sages desperately sealed him inside the Sacred Realm—now the corrupted Dark World—as a last resort. Many years later, Ganon ordered the wizard Agahnim to find and sacrifice the maiden descendants of the Sages—including the third Zelda incarnation—for his return to Hyrule, but the second Link incarnation thwarted his plan and defeated Ganon. In Labrynna, Twinrova attempted to sacrifice Zelda in the hopes of bringing Ganon back, but Link stopped the sacrifice, forcing Twinrova to sacrifice her own body instead; however, Link defeated Ganon once again. Many years later, Ganon finally returned to Hyrule and kidnapped the first Zelda incarnation to claim the Traiforce of Wisdom, but the first incarnation of Link defeated Ganon and destroyed him once and for all.
 * In the Farore Universe, the third Link incarnation (from the Nayru Universe) exposed Ganondorf's plan, resulting in his arrest.
 * In the Nayru Universe, Link triumphed, and the Sages sealed Ganondorf inside the Sacred Realm, although Ganondorf vowed vengeance once he broke free and returned.
 * Impa (04.5): The name used for several incarnations of a female Skeikah clanswoman. They mostly serve as Zelda's caretaker.
 * The first incarnation was dispatched by the first Zelda incarnation to find a champion strong enough to stop Ganon upon the latter's invasion and abduction of the princess. Impa was eventually saved by the first Link incarnation and chose him to be Zelda's champion. Impa would later inform Link of the second Zelda's incarnation's eternal slumber and ask Link to help awaken her.
 * The second incarnation was born and raised in Kakariko Village and chosen to be the fourth Zelda incarnation's nursemaid in the latter's infancy. When Ganondorf attacked, Impa helped Zelda escape and trained her in the ways of the Sheikah. She is later awakened as the Shadow Sage.
 * The third incarnation was sent by the third Zelda incarnation to protect the Oracles of Seasons and Ages.
 * Link (01.5; 04.5): The name used for several incarnations of mostly mute swordsmen; each incarnation is depicted as Hylians who wear a green tunic and wield the Master Sword. They also possess the Triforce of Courage.
 * The first incarnation rescued the first Zelda incarnation from Ganon and awakened the second incarnation (the first's ancestor) from her eternal slumber.
 * The second incarnation (voiced by Mitsuki Saiga) saved the third Zelda incarnation from Agahnim, awakened the wind fish from its nightmare, saved Holodrum from General Onox, and saved Labynna from Veran.
 * The third incarnation (voiced by Fujiko Takimoto (child); Nobuyuki Hiyama (adult, Fierce Deity)) was originally a baby Hylian sent to live in Kokiri Forest. On his tenth birthday, he received his fairy companion, Navi, and learned of his true destiny; he teamed up with the fourth Zelda incarnation to obtain the three Spiritual Stones and enter the Sacred Realm to save the Triforce from Ganondorf; however, Ganondorf caught wind of their plan and chased Zelda out of Hyrule. With the royal family's Ocarina of Time, Link was forced to enter the Sacred Realm in the Temple of Time to withdraw the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf; however, due to his age and lack of experience, Link was sealed in the Sacred Realm for seven years, inadvertently leaving the Sacred Realm door open and allowing Ganondorf to enter and claim the Triforce of Power and takeover Hyrule. After his release, Link obtained the six Sage Medallions, awakened the seven Sages, and confronted Ganondorf in battle that would lead to one of two outcomes depending on the universe.
 * In the Din Universe, Link is defeated, allowing Ganondorf to extract the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom from Link and Zelda, respectively. With the full Triforce in hand, Ganondorf became Ganon, but the seven Sages sealed him—along with the Triforce—within the Dark World. Ashamed of his defeat, Link return the Master Sword to the Temple of Time and went into hiding.
 * In the Nayru Universe, Link is victorious, allowing the seven Sages to seal Ganondorf in the Sacred Realm. Zelda then sent Link back in time (creating the Farore Universe) to relive his childhood. (His actions would deem him as the Hero of Time). Using his knowledge of the future, Link alerted the royal family of Ganondorf's planned uprising, resulting in the Gerudo king's arrest and the Sacred Realm remaining pure. Sometime later, Link went on a journey to find a lost friend (implaied to be Navi), only to end up in an afterlife-like town called Termina, where a Skull Kid (wearing the corrupted Majora's Mask) plans to drop the moon on the land in three days and destroy everything. Awakening the Four Giants, Link purged the evil within Majora's Mask, returned the moon to the sky, then returned to Hyrule.

 * Zelda (04.5): The name used for several incarnations that usually serve as the princess of Hyrule. They possess the Triforce of Wisdom.
 * The first incarnation broke the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments to hide around Hyrule before being kidnapped by Ganon. The first Link incarnation later assembled the Triforce of Wisdom, destroyed Ganon, and rescued Zelda.
 * The second incarnation (a descendant of the first)'s brother was corrupted by an evil wizard into attempting to force his younger sister into revealing the location of the Triforce. When Zelda refused, the wizard put her into an eternal slumber. Horrified by his actions, the prince sealed his sister away in the hopes that she would awken one day, then ordered all females born into Hyrule's royal family be named after his sister so the tragedy would never be forgotten, and so history wouldn't repeat itself. Many years later, Zelda was finally awakened from her eternal slumber by the first Link incarnation.
 * The third incarnation is a maiden descendant of the seven Sages and a sacrificial target that Agahnim to use to free Ganon. Zelda telepathically contacted the second Link incarnation to rescue her from Agahnim. Although Link is successful at first, Zelda is eventually captured and taken to the Dark World, along with the other seven maidens. Thankfully rescued them and defeated Ganon, then used the sealed Triforce to restore Hyrule. Sometime later, Zelda visited Labynna but was abducted by Twinrova as a sacrifice to restore Ganon, but Link rescued Zelda and defeated Ganon.
 * The fourth incarnation (voiced by Jun Mizusawa) planned to open the Sacred Realm with the third Link incarnation to retrieve the Triforce and stop Ganodorf's uprising; however, Ganondorf caught wind of their plan. Zelda escaped Hyrule with her house maiden, Impa, and entrusted the Ocarina of Time to Link. During her exile, Zelda trained in the ways of the Shiekah, adopting the male identity "Shiek" and aided Link in his quest to find the six medallions. Afterwards, Shiek revealed her secret identity as Zelda—and as the seventh Sage—to Link, but Ganondorf had already seen past her disguise and abducted her, taking her to his castle and using her as bait to lure Link. As soon as Link arrived, he and Ganondorf faced off in a final battle, resulting in one of two outcomes (depending on the universe):
 * In the Din Universe, Ganondorf wins and extracts the Triforce of Courage from him. In an act of desperation, Zelda surrendered the Triforce of Wisdom to the Gerudo king in exchange for sparing the would-be Hero of Time. With the Triforce complete, Ganondorf became Ganon; however, once he let his guard down, the seven Sages sealed Ganon (along with the Triforce) away within the Dark World. Zelda then attempted to restored Hyrule as it entered its downfall.
 * In the Nayru Universe, Link wins and the Sages seal Ganondorf away within the Sacred Realm. Blaming herself for Ganondorf's uprising, Zelda sent Link back in time to relive his childhood (creating the Farore Universe) and stayed behind to restore Hyrule back to its former glory.

 * '''Ash Ketchum (Rica Matsumoto (Japanese); Sarah Natochenny (English)) (01.0-11.0): The main protagonist; a ten-year-old Pokémon trainer from the Kanto region's Pallet Town who became licensed on his tenth birthday. Ash liked climbing big trees as a child. He also did mountain boarding in Pallet Town. Ash loved silly and scary faces from his mother. Prior to becoming licensed Pokémon trainers, Ash and Gary Oak (his future rival) both caught a Poké Ball at the same time and ended up with both ends of the ball, igniting their rivalry. Prior to his journey, Ash saw a Pokémon movie about a Clefairy who stole a hamburger from Teddiursa. The night before obtaining his first Pokémon, Ash accidentally destroyed his alarm clock while asleep, causing him to sleep in and miss out on all the starter Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle), so his mentor, Professor Oak, gave him a Pikachu as a starter. Ash's dream is to become a Pokémon master, as well as defeat Gary. Ash can be somewhat reckless, incompetent, self-centered, dimwitted, careless, irresponsible, selfish, clumsy, arrogant, immature, rude, bossy, stubborn, obnoxious, and even childish at times, but improved and matured as the main series continued. In Kanto, Ash usually turns his hat backwards whenever he fights in a Pokémon battle or tries to catch a Pokémon. Ash attempted the Pokémon League Admissions Exam in the hopes of joining the Pokémon League without the need to earn gym badges but ended up with the third-lowest score (only slightly above Jessie and James). After winning eight badges (Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Marsh, Rainbow, Soul, Volcano, and Earth), Ash entered the Indigo Plateau Conference; Ash managed to win four rounds but lost the fifth round against his newest friendly rival: Ritchie. The next day, Professor Oak asked Ash and his friends to go to Valencia Island in the Orange Archipelago and pick up a Poké Ball called the GS Ball that was acquired by Professor Ivy. While on the Orange Islands, Ash decided to enter the Orange League. After winning four badges (Coral-Eye, Sea Ruby, Spike Shell, and Jade Star), Ash entered the Orange League and defeated the champion, Drake, earning the Winner's Trophy and a spot in the Hall of Fame. Upon returning home, Ash delivered the GS Ball to Professor Oak. After losing to Gary, Ash decided to enter the Silver Conference in the Johto region; Professor Oak asked him to take the GS Ball to a Poké Ball designer named Kurt for further studying. In Azelea Town, Ash and his friends helped Kurt (disguised as a Slowpoke) rescue a Slowpoke herd from Team Rocket, as well as solve the town's drought problem (the rescued Slowpoke summon a rainfall to fill the water). Afterwards, Ash and his friends delivered the GS Ball to Kurt, only to learn that it was apparently just a regular Poké Ball. Kurt gave Ash and his friends some Fast Balls in return for helping him with the Slowpokes. Ash was later given an additional Lure Ball by Kurt. After winning eight badges (Zephyr, Hive, Plain, Fog, Storm, Mineral, Glacier, and Rising), Ash entered the Silver Conference; he defeated Gary but lost to Harrison in the quarterfinals of the championship tournament. Under Harrison's suggestion, Ash decided to enter the Ever Grande Conference in the Hoenn region; starting with Hoenn, Ash would start fresh by leaving all his Pokémon (except Pikachu) behind in Kanto, as well as receive a brand-new set of clothing from his mother. After winning eight badges (Stone, Knuckle, Dynamo, Heat, Balance, Feather, Mind, and Rain), Ash entered the Ever Grande Conference; he managed to reach the Victory Tournament but lost to Tyson in the third round. Afterwards, Ash and his friends went their separate ways and returned home. Under suggestion of Battle Frontier creator Scott, Ash decided to enter Kanto's Battle Frontier, to which Brock, Max, and May rejoined him. After winning seven symbols (Knowledge, Guts, Tactics, Luck Spirits, Ability, Brave), Ash is entered into the Battle Frontier Hall of Fame but rejected becoming a Frontier Brain. After he parted ways with his friends, Ash decided to enter the Sinnoh League (Aipom secretly joined him and Pikachu) with him. Ash's main Sinnoh rival is Paul. During his Sinnoh travels, Ash decided to start entering Pokémon contests at the behest of his Aipom, starting with the Jubifile City contest. Under the suggestion of Hoenn Contest Master Wallace, Ash decided to enter the Wallace Cup, losing at the quarterfinals.'''


 * Bayleef (Mika Kanai) (03.0-11.0): Chikorita was originally found on Route 29. She was stubborn, especially when fighting against Ash, but after the latter saved her from Team Rocket, she decided to join him, somewhat falling in love with him. She was jealous of Ash giving too much attention to Pikachu, but they became friends after escaping from Team Rocket. Chikorita later evolved into Bayleef while battling Team Rocket outside a wind turbine facility. As Bayleef, she got so excited that she began tackling her trainer in love and excitement, but after being scolded several times for her behavior, and a battle with Team Rocket, she learned to control her excitement. For Scarlet City's Whirl Cup, Ash temporarily traded Bayleef for his Kingler; while staying at Professor Oak's laboratory, Bayleef became violent and attacked her temporary caretaker in loneliness until Ash's elimination from the Whirl Cup, to which Bayleef was immediately returned back to her trainer.


 * Buizel (Kiyotaka Fukushima) (10.0-11.0): A very powerful Buizel originally lived around Route 205 where he defeated many trainers and stole their fishing rods. After a failed attempt by Ash and Zoey at catching him, Dawn managed to catch him after saving him from Team Rocket. Due to Buizel's love of fighting, Dawn traded him for Ash's Aipom.
 * Bulbasaur (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (01.0-11.0): Originally owned by Melanie in the Hidden Village, Bulbasaur protected sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. After Ash and his friends helped Bulbasaur and Melanie fight against Team Rocket, Melanie decided to give Bulbasaur to Ash. When it appeared Bulbasaur was going to evolve into Ivysaur, he was abducted by a herd of Bulbasaur and taken to the Mysterious Garden for an evolution festival; however, he ultimately rejected evolution and continued staying Bulbasaur. He seems to have a crush on Florinda's Gloom. Bulbasaur was transferred back to Professor Oak's laboratory to solve a grass-type Pokémon feud in Oak's research facility garden. Ash's Bulbasaur was transferred to Hoenn to play with May's newly captured Bulbasaur, but thanks to Team Rocket meddling with the transporter, he ended up in their clutches. He escaped and quickly became friends with May's Bulbasaur, but he was quickly forced to return to Professor Oak's lab to stop the reignited grass Pokémon feud. Ash briefly reclaimed Bulbasaur for a second Battle Pyramid rematch.


 *  Charizard (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Billy Bob Thompson (English)) (01.0-03.0; 05.0; 09.0): Charizard was originally encountered as a Charmander on a rock on Route 24 waiting for his trainer, Damian, who had secretly abandoned him. After Ash and his friends saved him from the rain, Charmander realized the truth and rejected Damian in favor of Ash. He later evolved into Charmeleon, and into Charizard later on, but began becoming disobedient and lazy due to his trainer's lack of experience, only rarely battling (such as against an Aerodactyl and Blaine's Magmar) and following Ash's commands; this was made more apparent as his refusal to fight at the Pokémon League resulted in his trainer losing. It wouldn't be until after losing to Tad's Poliwrath that Charizard started listening to Ash, later defeating the same Poliwrath in a rematch. After Charizard was defeated by all the Charizards of the Charicific Valley in Johto, Ash allowed him to stay there for more training; since then, Charizard had been dating Liza's female Charizard: Charla. Charizard briefly returned to Ash and his friends to help them save the Dragon's Holy Land from Team Rocket, to battle against Blackthorn Gym Leader Clair, for the Silver Conference, and to battle Noland. Ash temporarily reclaimed Charizard for the Battle Factory and a second Battle Pyramid rematch. 
 * Chimchar (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Bill Rogers (English)) (10.0-11.0): Chimchar originally belonged to an abusive Pokémon trainer named Paul, who gave his fire Pokémon "special training" in the hopes of making Chimchar perform a very powerful blaze attack he performed once before; however, Chimchar had been unable to perform that move since, and during a tag-team tournament, Paul abandoned Chimchar, who decided to travel with Ash.
 * Corphish (Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese); Bill Rogers (English)) (06.0-11.0): Corphish originally attacked Ash and his friends on Dewford Island from within the sands until Ash submerged it and caught it; unfortunately, it's behavior wasn't very pleasant at first as its method of saying hello involved violence, and it ate the other Pokémon's food. Since Treecko's evolution into Grovyle, Corphish had apparently become jealous of him getting more attention from Ash. Corphish had a crush on Samantha's Mawile, even though Mawile rejected its love in favor of Brock's Lombre.
 * Cyndaquil (Yūji Ueda (Japanese); [Unknown] (English)) (03.0-11.0): Ash originally encountered Cyndaquil on Route 33 and competed against another trainer, Koji, for ownership of it.

A few days later, the egg hatched into a Phanpy, but it refused to go into its Poké Ball because it didn't have the training yet. After accidentally being attacked by Ash's Pikachu (who tried to save it from Team Rocket), it became scared of its trainer and ran away to join Team Rocket. Team Rocket tricked Phanpy into helping them steal Pikachu, then kidnapped it as well. Pikachu and Phanpy escaped, and the latter nearly ended up going over a waterfall, but it was rescued by Ash and overcame its fears of him, defeating Team Rocket shortly afterwards. For the Battle Frontier, Ash decided to take Phanpy with him. It later evolved into Donphan.
 * Glalie (Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese); Pete Zarustica (English)) (08.0-11.0): Glalie originally lived as a Snorunt on Izabe Island, where he would play pranks on visitors of the Pokémon Center (such as stealing Ash's badges and freezing him as well).

Before participating in Kanto's Battle Frontier, Ash left Torkoal at Professor Oak's lab.
 * Gligar (Katsuyuki Konishi) (11.0): Gligar originally belonged to a herd led by Gliscor that was acidentally blown out of Route 215 into a city. Before long, it attracted of the Gligar within the city, scaring the citizens out of the city (except the city's Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny). After the Gliscor was caught by Paul, Ash and his friends managed to help return the Gligar back to their home, except for one that decided to stay with Ash.
 * Heracross (Katsuyuki Konishi) (03.0-11.0): Ash's first Johto Pokémon. Ash and his friends found a horde of Heracross on Route 29 drinking tree sap out of a tree when a horde of Pinsir (who were indirectly chased away from their trees by Team Rocket) attacked.

Ash traded Heracross for one of his Tauros to take part in the Rock and Tumble One-on-One Tauros Competition. Ash temporarily reclaimed Heracross for the Battle Palace.
 * Kingler ([Unknown]) (01.0-11.0): Kingler was originally a Krabby that Ash caught at a beach near Bill's Lighthouse; however, due to Ash already having six Pokémon on hand, it was immediately transported to Professor Oak's laboratory.

In Johto, Ash temporarily traded his Bayleef for Kingler for Scarlet City's Whirl Cup

 * Noctowl (Yūji Ueda) (03.0-11.0): Ash and his friends originally encountered Noctowl being attacked by Dr. Wiseman at its bird house; it primarily used hypnosis on its enemies to escape. After a tense competition (and saving Noctowl from Team Rocket), Dr. Wiseman allowed Ash to catch it. In Johto, Ash temporarily traded Noctowl for his Snorlax so he could join the Pokémon Sumo Conference in Rikishii Town.
 *  Pidgeot (Megumi Hayashibara) (01.0-02.0): Pidgeot was originally caught in Viridian Forest and a Pidgeotto. During a battle with a Fearow (who turned out to be the exact same one that Ash attacked as a Spearrow at the beginning of the series), Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot and Ash decided to release it so it could protect the Pidgey/Pidgeotto flock that Fearow attacked, promising to return to it after finishing the Orange Islands. 
 * Pikachu (Ikue Ohtani) (01.0-11.0): The main Pokémon protagonist; Ash's starter Pokémon. Pikachu was chosen by Ash after all the starter Pokémon were taken. Pikachu hated Ash at first, but they became best friends after saving each other from a violent Spearow flock. He hates being confined in his Poké Ball, so he spends his journey traveling by Ash's side and/or on his shoulder. After being brutally defeated by Lt. Surge's Raichu, Nurse Joy offered Pikachu a Thunder Stone to evolve into Raichu, but he rejected it, later defeating the same Raichu in a rematch; Ash held onto the Thunder Stone in case Pikachu ever changed his mind about evolving. When Ash and his friends stumbled across a Pikachu heard, Pikachu contemplated staying with the herd, but when Ash decided to release him, Pikachu changed his mind and continued traveling with Ash. Pikachu's favorite food is ketchup. Staring with Hoenn, Ash would take Pikachu as his only Pokémon (leaving the rest back at Professor Oak's laboratory), just like how he began his Pokémon career. When attached to magnetic fields (such as Team Rocket's magnet), he becomes gravely ill with unneeded electricity and explodes if the electricity isn't extracted in time. After nearly dying at the hands of Sho's Raichu, Pikachu rejected the Thunder Stone again and even got rid of it; Team Rocket later found it and apparently sold it for a high price.

He usually holds a small twig in his mouth. Treecko evolved into Govyle during his battle with Guy's Loudred (later Exploud).

With the help of Jigglypuff's singing, Ash defeated and caught him. Snorlax gets extremely hungry at times and usually falls asleep once he's full. Upon Ash and his friends' arrival at Pummelo Island for the Orange League, Snorlax became too sleepy to participate, so Ash traded him with one of his Tauros. In Johto, Ash temporarily traded his Noctowl for Snorlax so he could join the Pokémon Sumo Conference in Rikishii Town. Ash switched out one of his Pokémon for Snorlax for his rematch against Blackthorn Gym Leader Clair. Ash briefly used Snorlax to battle Greta in the Battle Arena.
 *  Squirtle (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (01.0-03.0; 05.0; 10.0): Squirtle originally started off as the leader of a gang of abandoned Squirtles called the Squirtle Squad; their main goal was playing pranks on Route 25. Team Rocket's Meowth tricked the Squirtle Squad into kidnapping Ash and his friends, claiming that Ash's Pikachu belonged to Team Rocket. Then Team Rocket attacked their hideout, setting a huge fire to Route 25, but the Squirtle Squad helped put out the fire after being saved by their hostages; the lead Squirtle decided to travel with Ash, while the rest of the squad became firefighters. In Johto, Squirtle reunited with its Squirtle Squad teammates at the Pokémon Fire and Rescue Grand Prix and rejoined his old team to help train them for more firefighting. Squirtle briefly returned to assist Ash with the Silver Conference, filling in for an injured Kingler. Ash briefly reclaimed Squirtle for a second Battle Pyramid rematch. 
 * Staravia (Kiyotaka Furushima (Japanese); Sarah Natochenney (English)) (10.0-11.0): Ash's first Sinnoh Pokémon. He originally caught a Starly on Route 202 after it got into a fight with his Aipom.

Unlike many flying Pokémon, it's able to withstand electric attacks (such as Pikachu's thunderbolt and thunder) and keep flying. Team Rocket offered Taillow some rice balls in exchange for catching Ash's Pikachu, but during its battle, Ash caught it. During a PokéRinger competition, it evolved into Swellow.
 * Tauros (Katsuyuki Konishi) (01.0-11.0): A heard of thirty all-male Tauros that Ash caught (all but one by accident) at the Safari Zone.

Ash briefly used one of his Tauros for the Battle Tower.

 * Totodile (Chinami Nishimura (Japanese); Lisa Ortiz (English)) (03.0-11.0): Totodile was originally encountered by Ash and his friends around Route 34.

Brock took his siblings to see a Western Pokémon movie once. After being defeated by Ash, Flint (and Lola sometime later) returned to take care of his family, allowing Brock to follow his dream in becoming a Pokémon breeder; Brock decided to join Ash on his journey. Brock is an accomplished cook and cooks many meals for his friends. He also tends to fall in love with almost every girl and/or woman he meets (especially all the Officer Jennys and Nurse Joys), only for Misty (later Max and Brock's Croagunk) to attack him and/or pull him away (mostly by the ear) in disgust and irritation. When Ash and his friends arrived at the Orange Archipelago, Brock decided to become Professor Ivy's housekeeper; however, after some incident with Professor Ivy (presumably being rejected by her for love), he returned to Kanto in depression and became a co-housekeeper for the Ketchum residence. He then rejoined Ash's group for Johto. Brock received a Heavy Ball from Kurt in Azalea Town. Brock occasionally referees mock Pokémon battles. After the Silver Conference, Brock was forced to leave Ash and return home to take care of some family errands (leaving behind a picnic lunchbox with some cutlery); however, after discovering that his family was doing just fine, he decides to rejoin Ash in Hoenn, arriving just in time to save him and his friends from a flock of attacking Taillow. After Hoenn, Brock returned to Pewter Gym but quickly rejoined Ash for the Battle Frontier. At the behest of former coordinator-turned-breeder Yuma offering to teach him about Pokémon coordination, Brock became a fully licensed coordinator and entered his first Pokémon contest in Gardenia Town with Bonsly; however, despite losing, Brock proved to be talented enough that Yuma decided to teach up-and-coming coordinator Molly instead.

After falling into a well, he evolved into Lombre. Samantha's Mawile had a crush on Lombre, even though the latter didn't reciprocate the same feelings at first. Lombre later stole a water stone from Samantha to evolve into Ludicolo, but Mawile rejected her love for him (presumably) due to his size.

After Munchlax is framed by Team Rocket for stealing a bunch of trainers' Pokéblocks, May attempted to catch it to prove its innocence (and because of it liking her food), but Munchlax refused to fight and kept avoiding attacks by May's Combusken. After its innocence was proven, Munchlax was caught by May (after the former ate the Poké Ball). Its appetite is so big that it eats other Pokémon's food, as well as food from other humans.
 * Skitty (Megumi Hayashibara) (07.0-09.0; 11.0): Skitty was originally found fatigued by Ash and his friends on Route 111. They quickly took it to a greenhouse owned by Eliza for aromatherapy. Team Rocket attacks the greenhouse to steal the perfume but accidentally ended up kidnapping Skitty as well. Jessie became adored by it and tried to keep it, but Meowth, charmed by its cuteness and not wanting it to get hurt, helped it escape. May tried to catch it, but Skitty knocked the Poké Ball out of her hand and willingly went inside. Skitty is extremely energetic as it lets itself out of its Poké Ball and likes chasing tails (such as Pikachu's and its own). Skitty stayed at home after falling in love with Norman's greenhouse but briefly returned to May in Kanto.
 * Squirtle (Tomoe Hanba (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (08.0-09.0; 11.0): May's starter Kanto Pokémon. Due to his disliking of Poké Balls, Squirtle quickly chose to join with May. Sometime before Sinnoh, Squirtle evolved into Wartortle.
 *  Misty (Mayumi Iizuka (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (01.0-05.0): One of the four Cerulean City gym leaders and the younger sister of the Sensational Sisters (Daisy, Lily, and Violet). As a child, Misty was only given hand-me-downs while her sisters constantly received Princess Dolls. She also loved playing the tambourine. Misty dreamed of being a Pokémon magician at a young age, watching every Pokémon show that came out. Misty originally met Ash after fishing him and his Pikachu out of the water. They borrowed her bike to escape a violent Spearow flock and accidentally destroyed it along the way, prompting Misty to travel with Ash until the latter paid her back. She hates bug Pokémon (including Ash's Caterpie and a wild Weedle). When Ash arrived at the Cerulean Gym, Misty fought him and lost. Misty seems to be an expert on riddles. In Johto, Misty received a Lure Ball from Kurt in Azalea Town. She is short-tempered and can easily get angry at times (according to a Cassidy/Butch-falsified fortune-telling book, she is like a Gyarados). After the Silver Conference, Misty was forced to leave Ash and return home to helm the Cerulean Gym after her sisters for a trip around the world (leaving behind a handkerchief for Ash); she also gets back her newly fixed bike from Nurse Joy at Viridian City. Misty later came to Hoenn to visit Ash and Brock (as well as their two new traveling companions: Max and May), as well as attend the Togepi Festival, but it turned out to be a trap by Team Rocket. After releasing Togetic to the Mirage Kingdom, Misty returned to Cerulean Gym. She later arrived at Ash's house to introduce him to her Azurill. She briefly rejoined Ash for the Battle Frontier own their way to the Battle Factory but was to return to Cerulean City early. Despite her resentment of her self-proclaimed all-knowing sisters, Misty still cares about them. Misty later sent her special lure to Ash during his journey through the Battle Frontier.

 *  Goldeen (Ikue Ohtani (Japanese); Rachael Lillis (English)) (01.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Misty first used Goldeen against Team Rocket, but due to its uselessness on land, it was quickly recalled. 


 *  Horsea (Machiko Toyoshima (Japanese); Rachael Lillis (English)) (01.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Horsea was originally found by Ash and his friends in Porta Vista, where he pleaded with them to stop a Tentacool and Tentacruel retaliation attack against Nastina for destroying their coral. After the attack was quelled and Nastina was defeated, Horsea joined Misty. Upon returning to Cerulean Gym for a short visit, Misty left him under the care of her sisters. 
 *  Politoed (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Eric Stuart (English)) (02.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Misty originally met a Poliwag on an island while searching for salveyo weed to cure Ash and Tracey of Vileplume's sun spore. After it was saved by her from Team Rocket, Poliwag helped Misty find the weed and even gave some to Meowth and James to cure Jessie from the same attack. Poliwag liked Misty so much that the latter took ownership of it so they could be together. Poliwag later evolved into Poliwhirl during a friendly battle with Ash in Johto and evolved into Politoed with a King's Rock that Ash won at a Pokémon Sumo Conference in Rikishii Town. 
 *  Psyduck (Rikako Aikawa (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (01.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Psyduck was originally encountered at the Pokémon Center in HopHopHop Town after Ash and his friends cured all the hypnotized humans and Pokémon, Psyduck began following them and ended up inside Misty's Poké Ball. Psyduck is notable for causing lots of misfortune to his trainer, most notably jumping out of his Poké Ball despite Misty not choosing him for battle. He constantly has a headache but is able to fight back and use his powers when his headache is under a severe amount of stress and/or danger. Prior to the Pokémon League, Psyduck was cast as the lead star of Clevon Schpeilbunk's latest Pokémon movie, Pokémon in Love, which Ash and his friends later watched in Hollywood. Misty initially became excited when she believed Psyduck evolved into a competent Golduck, only to discover that the Golduck she had was completely different from her Psyduck; that Golduck quickly left Misty afterwards. Despite her constant irritations, Misty refuses to trade Psyduck away. 
 *  Starmie (Ikue Ohtani) (01.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Starmie was first seen losing against Ash's Pidgeotto in a Cerulean Gym battle. Upon returning to Cerulean Gym for a short visit, Misty left it under the care of her sisters. 
 *  Staryu (Shin-ichiro Miki) (01.0-05.0; 07.0-08.0): Misty's lead Pokémon. 
 *  Togetic (Satomi Koorogi) (01.0-05.0; 07.0): Togetic was originally found by Ash as an egg at a Pokémon fossil dig site in Grampa Canyon. Upon hatching into Togepi, he imprinted on Misty as his mother with Ash's Pikachu acting as his surrogate brother. While Togepi was visiting Hoenn with Misty, they were kidnapped by Team Rocket and taken to the Mirage Kingdom under the order of Colonel Hanson, who specifically wanted Togepi to usurp the royal family and take over the kingdom. While abducted by Colonel Hanson, Togepi evolved into Togetic and escaped back to his family. After Colonel Hanson's arrest, Togetic decided to stay in the Mirage Kingdom and protect both the Togepi and the royal family. 
 * Team Rocket (01.0-11.0): The primary antagonists; a trio of bumbling criminals working for the organization of the same name, led by Giovanni. Before joining Team Rocket, Jessie and James attempted to study at the Pokémon Technical Institute, but both failed the entrance exam. They also used to be members of a Sunnytown biker gang; they were respectively known as "Big Jess"/"Chainer Jessie" (known for swinging her chain above her head while riding her bike) and "Little Jim"/"Trainer James" (who always used training wheels on his bike). After being defeated by Ash's Pikachu at Viridian City's Pokémon Center, they saw him as a powerful Pokémon and made him their primary capture target ever since, but every scheme they pull off (successful or not) usually ends with Pikachu (or their capture victims) either being rescued or escaping on their own and Team Rocket "blasting off". On certain occasions, Team Rocket would reluctantly work with Ash and his friends (such as escaping the sinking St. Anne or capturing a rampaging Claydol). Despite being evil, Jessie and James are actually good-natured and kind-hearted to an extent (mostly due to their unpleasant childhoods), and they truly care about their Pokémon. Team Rocket's primary mode of transportation is a Meowth-style hot air balloon. They primarily address Ash and his friends and "twerps". Usually, when wearing disguises, Jessie and James (the latter more prominently) would cross-dress. Jessie and James attempted to take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, but both ended up with the lowest scores. In Johto, the trio was kicked out of Team Rocket for failing to pay their endless load of unpaid dues and loans, forcing them to defeat a band of Pokémon trainers (Ash and his friends) before being reinstated; they fail but are reinstated nevertheless in exchanged for their monthly paychecks (collected by a Team Rocket scout's Delibird). Every time they first appear in an episode, they usually open with a motto. After the desolations of Teams Magma and Aqua, the trio are assigned a top-secret mission. After Hoenn, Team Rocket changed their motto. Following many failures in capturing Pikachu, Team Rocket split up but reconciled after an encounter with Butch and Cassidy. After the Battle Frontier, James and Meowth contemplated giving up, but Jessie convinced them to keep working to kidnap Pikachu. Starting with Sinnoh, Team Rocket could come up with a brand-new motto.
 * James (Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (01.0-11.0): The primary male antagonist; prior to joining Team Rocket, James was originally born to overbearing millionaires and owned a Growlithe named Growlie. James' childhood mansion was made of marble (though James never understood why). On Kids Day, James would be free to take a day off from school, allowing him to swim all day and eat ice cream sandwiches. All of his childhood clothing was made out of Mareep wool, but he was constantly beaten up by his envious classmates. James was once a cheerleader as well. One day, while passing a carnival, James spotted a Chimeco and wanted one badly, but his parents wouldn't give him one, and the carnival had ended, thwarting James' chance of getting one. During the summer, James would visit relatives, Nanny and Pop-Pop in Hoenn, and he enjoyed his time there since they didn't force him to behave like a gentleman, unlike his 23 tutors. His parents arranged him to marry Jeesebelle, but her domineering behavior ultimately caused James to run away and abandon his upper-class family. Before joining Team Rocket, James originally intended to become a PokéRinger and trained under a PokéRinger master. After his parents apparently died, James was forced into returning by his teammates so they could claim his inheritance money; however, it is revealed that his parents faked their death so they could force him into marrying Jessebelle. Thankfully, Growlie was freed by Team Rocket (as well as Ash and his friends), allowing it to rescue James and help him escape back to his teammates; before fleeing, James asked Growlie to watch after his parents. His primary Team Rocket rival is Butch. James has been a victim of many cons by a Magikarp salesman. On Potpourri Island, James (under the disguise as Jameson) and Mime Jr. won a Pokémon orienteering competition, earning themselves a Pokémon Teamwork Medal.

 * Carnivine (Daisuke Skaguchi (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (10.0-11.0): James owned a Carnivine that he originally left at a summer cottage in Sinnoh. James retrieved it upon his arrival. Cacnea loves its trainer so much that it would hug him and bite his head whenever it was released from its Poké Ball.


 * Mime Jr. (Ikue Ohtani (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (09.0-11.0): Mime Jr. originally lived with Nanny and Pop-Pop, relatives of James. After James was forced to leave his ill Chimeco at their cottage for treatment, Mime Jr. decide to replace it. Mime Jr. is extremely curious and playful, inadvertently being responsible for lots of Team Rocket's failed plans. It has a habit of breaking out of its Poké Ball at the end of Team Rocket's motto and rarely spends its time in its Poké Ball. Mime Jr. is considered so cute that James cannot bring himself to make it fight.


 *  Victreebel (#1) (Rikako Aikawa) (01.0-05.0): James originally owned a Weepinbell at Nanny and Pop-Pop's mansion in Hoenn. As an adult, James left it at a Kanto breeding center (which was actually a front for Team Rocket members Cassidy and Butch). When he and Team Rocket (as well as Ash and his friends) were caught breaking into the breeding center (unaware of Team Rocket's ownership at the time), James found his Weepinbell—now evolved into Victreebel—and released it. Victreebel loves its trainer so much that it would constantly partially eat him in delight and excitement. James was forced by his teammates to trade Victreebel for a Magikarp salesman's Weepinbell (which would later evolve to a Victreebel); the two Victreebel would later escape from their respective owners, fall in love, and run off to live together. 


 *  Weezing ([Unknown] (Japanese); Michael Haigney (English)) (01.0-06.0): James' Kanto and Johto lead Pokémon. Prior to his evolution from Koffing, James received him as a Christmas present one year prior to the main series. In Hoenn, James tearfully released Weezing to allow it to help a herd of poached Ekans and Koffing escape from a Pokémon poacher named Rico. 
 * Jessie (Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese); Michele Knotz (English)) (01.0-11.0): The primary female antagonist; the self-proclaimed leader of the trio. Jessie didn't make many friends as a child for unknown reasons. She seemed to hate Princess Festivals as she wasn't able to receive any Princess Dolls as a child. She also caught one of Santa Claus' many Jynx "stealing" a toy of hers as a child (although in reality, the Jynx took Jessie's "stolen toy" to Santa Claus' workshop for repairment and later returned it to her as an adult). Jessie loves snow so much that her mother would make snow-flavored food for her as a child. She was also able to find love because of her evil personality and behavior. Jessie tried fortune telling with many methods but could never be given a true fortune. Jessie's childhood dreams were to be a doctor, an actress, and a trainer; during her theater acting days, she vowed never to fall in love but ended up falling in love with a boy named Austin. In her school years, Jessie wanted a balloon pencil case but never got one and was mocked by her classmates because of it. She was a ninja girl in her youth, using a Starmie as a weapon. In her teenage years, she enrolled in a Pokémon Nurse School in the hopes of becoming a nurse where she befriended a clumsy Chansey; she ultimately failed to become a nurse (primarily since the school was meant for Chanseys), but her clumsy Chansey friend (who would later evolve into a Blissey and work at Happy Town's Pokémon Center) gave her half of her graduation necklace to remember her by. Jessie had a very brief modeling career—making a literally small appearance in a mountain magazine. She tried being a weather girl but was fired for being too inaccurate. While training to join Team Rocket, Jessie would force Wendy to pay for their snacks. Her primary Team Rocket rival is Cassidy. Beautiful artwork seems to remind Jessie of her lonely childhood (in one word: chrysanthemum). She is very passionate about her hair and hates anyone who ruins it. In Hoenn, she began participating in Pokémon contests (usually under the disguise of Jessebella) like May but resorted to cheating on several occasions (such is the case as her first contest in Fallarbor Town).
 *  Arbok (Kōichi Sakaguchi) (01.0-06.0): Jessie's Kanto and Johto lead Pokémon. Prior to his evolution from Ekans, Jessie originally received him as a birthday gift a year prior to the main series. In Hoenn, Jessie tearfully released Arbok to allow him to help a herd of poached Ekans and Koffing escape from a Pokémon poacher named Rico.

 *  Lickitung (Chinami Nishimura (Japanese); Michael Haigney (English)) (01.0-03.0): Jessie originally caught Lickitung in O-Hina Town after it ate all of Team Rocket's food during the Princess Festival. In Palmpona, Jessie accidentally traded Lickitung for Benny's Wobbuffet. 
 * Seviper (Chie Satō (Japanese); Bil Rogers (English)) (06.0-11.0): Jessie's current lead Pokémon. Seviper originally lived in Petalburg Woods, where it stole food from travelers (like Brock and Jessie) and attacked their Pokémon. After ripping off Jessie's hair and eating it as well, the latter attacked and caught it. Like its herd, Seviper hates Zangoose and refuses to stay in its Poké Ball when battling the Zangoose.


 * Wobbuffet (Yūji Ueda (Japanese); Erica Schroeder (English)) (03.0-11.0): Wobbuffet was originally owned by a boy named Benny who was planning on trading him away in Palmpona; he ended up trading with Jessie's Lickitung by accident. Wobuffet has a habit of breaking out of his Poké Ball at random (especially at the end of Team Rocket's motto).
 * Yanmega (Kiyotaka Furushima) (11.0): Yanma was originally the target of a Pokemon trainer named Tyler, but after he weakened her around Route 213, Jessie caught Yanma before he had the chance. The Team Rocket trio sent the Yanma to Giovanni back in Kanto, but he rejected and returned it to them due to the amount of Yanma that had already been captured. Yanma later evolved into Yanmega while battling Ash and his friends.
 * Meowth (Inuko Inuyama (Japanese); Carter Cathcart (English)) (01.0-11.0): The primary Pokémon antagonist; a talking Meowth that travels with Team Rocket. Prior to joining Team Rocket, Meowth was born alone without any friends or family and constantly trying to find food. One night, Meowth watched a movie called That Darn Meowth! Inspired by the movie, Meowth moved to Hollywood where he was found and adopted by a gang of Meowth led by a Persian. With their help, he was able to find and steal actual food. During his time in the gang, he fell in love with a rich female Meowth named Meowzie, but he was rejected by her for being a street Meowth. Striving to earn Meowzie's love, Meowth tried becoming human, such as learning to walk and speak like a human. Unfortunately, Meowzie still rejected him for still being a street Meowth, prompting him to join Team Rocket to earn more money. Sometime later, while Team Rocket chased Ash and his friends to Hollywood, the street Meowth gang attempted to force Meowth back into their gang, but Meowth refused; however, he discovered that Meowzie joined the gang after being abandoned by her now-broke owner. Meowth defeated the gang in the hopes of saving Meowzie, but she still rejected him for the Persian leader, prompting a heartbroken Meowth to return to Team Rocket alone. On Golden Island in the Orange Islands, Meowth got worshipped as the "Great Meowth of Bounty" but ultimately rejected the position to reunite with his team (and after being forced into unsuccessfully performing payday). In Johto, Meowth's tail became a victim of various bitings by Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull.
