Justin's Plusle

Justin's Plusle is a -Type Pokemon, the second wild Pokemon Justin caught during his journey in the Hoenn region, and his fourteenth overall.
==Biography==
===Grand Conquest===
Plusle debuted alongside Minun in Nuzzle'n Friends as wild Pokemon drawn to Justin and Rachel as they were training. The pair used Helping Hand, which spurned Justin's Torchic to learn and master Flame Charge. When they interacted with Justin and Rachel's Pokemon, the excitable pair paralyzed them all with Nuzzle. After recovering, Justin and Rachel used Kirlia and Mudkip to battle and capture Plusle and Minun, respectively.
In the next episode, Justin tested Plusle's battle strengths against his first rival, Andrew in battle. Plusle was Justin's second Pokemon in the battle, facing Corphish. Plusle proved disobedient, wishing to play instead of battle though her playfulness allowed her to defeat Corphish. Andrew then called on Absol, who proved aggressive and subsequently prompted Plusle to listen to Justin and battle more seriously. Plusle struggled to paralyze Absol with Nuzzle but ultimately succeeded and defeated him with Electro Ball. Plusle was finally defeated by Andrew's Aipom.
Due to Plusle's Hidden Ability, Justin enlisted her to battle first in Justin's gym battle against Wattson, an Electric Gym Leader, in Zero Watts. Plusle's Lightning Rod rendered Wattson's Magnemite and Voltorb powerless. Plusle defeated the former but drew against the latter when Wattson was forced to have Voltorb use Self-Destruct to stop Plusle.
In Mauville Goes Dark!, Plusle and Minun became sick after absorbing too much electricity due to their Hidden Abilities when Mauville City's power grid malfunctioned. Justin and Rachel took their Pokemon to New Mauville where Plusle and Minun were able to release their electricity once Leader Wattson fixed the power grid. As they did, the overcharge allowed Plusle and Minun to learn Spark.
In A Petalburg Reunion, Plusle met Justin's Pokemon from Hoenn. She and Minun immediately befriended Kangaskhan and Furret but they were later frightened by Gyarados.
Plusle was later Justin's first Pokemon in his gym battle against his father. She faced Spinda and used speed tactics, but Spinda's unpredictable movements made her difficult to strike. Spinda then confused Plusle and blasted her with Psybeam.
Justin recalled Plusle and returned her to battle to face Linoone. She paralyzed Linoone with Nuzzle and defeated it with Electro Ball. Plusle was recalled a second time when faced Slaking. Plusle's role was to paralyze Slaking with Nuzzle. She then landed several Electro Balls. When she used Spark, Slaking caught Plusle and defeated her with Hammer Arm.
In Off to the Mach Races!, Plusle acted as Justin's partner in a bike race, using her electricity to help Justin's bike move faster.
When Justin and Rachel helped defend the Eon Duo on Southern Island, they called on Plusle and Minun to use Helping Hand consistently to power-up their allies' moves against Teams Magma and Aqua.
In Winona's Sky Dancers, Plusle was Justin's first Pokemon in his gym battle against Leader Winona. Plusle battled Skarmory who began to resist spark after building its defenses with Iron Defense. Justin had Plusle switch strategies and defeat Skarmory with a Nuzzle-Electro Ball combo. Plusle then battled Altaria, who used Dragon Dance to build speed and avoid Plusle's electric attacks. An Earthquake caused Plusle to lose her footing. She was knocked into the air with a heavy Sky Attack. She was left flinched and flailing in the air then was defeated by a Dragon Breath.
Justin had a rematch against Winona in Taking the World into Flight! and Plusle was against again Justin's first Pokemon. Justin had a Nuzzle-recall strategy with Plusle to paralyze Winona's bird Pokemon. Plusle also used her small body to easily bounce off pillars. Despite Winnona's own strategies and precautions, Plusle paralyzed Altaria, Skarmory, and Pelipper, and defeated Pelipper with an Electro Ball combo.
Plusle also paralyzed Swellow, Winona's final Pokemon, but this backfired as Swellow's paralysis triggered its Guts ability. Plusle was finally defeated by a Guts-enhanced Facade.
In Volatile Ceasefire!, Justin called on Plusle with Combusken and Eevee to help battle Team Aqua and Magma when they attacked Mt. Pyre. Justin and Rachel's Pokemon were ultimately defeated by Leaders Archie and Maxie.
In A Solar Attack and Lunar Defense, Plusle partnered with Gardevoir for Justin's gym battle against Leaders Liza and Tate, facing their Solrock and Lunatone. Plusle and Gardevoir landed well-timed attacks but they were weakened by Lunatone's Light Screen and Reflect while needing to counter or endure Solrock's Solar Beam and Sunny Day-enhanced Flamethrower. Justin eventually had Plusle and Gardevoir endure a heavy attack until Sunny Day faded. Plusle enhanced Gardevoir's Hypnosis to put Solrock then Lunatone to sleep. Sunny Day's disappearance coincided with Light Screen and Reflect fading soon after, and Lunatone was unable to re-establish the defense. Gardevoir and Plusle proceeded to knock out the Psychic pair before they could fully awaken, thus winning Justin the Mind Badge.
In A Water Show for a Gym Battle!, Plusle partnered with Swellow in the opening double battle portion of Justin's Sootopolis gym battle against Juan. The battle took place on a water battlefield, which scared Plusle, but she hid her fear for Justin. Plusle and Swellow battled Juan's Huntail and Gorebyss. Overcoming her fear, Plusle used Helping Hand to enhance Swellow's attacks until Gorebyss and Huntail forced the pair to separate. Plusle tried to keep battling, but she crashed into the water and floundered in a panic, revealing she could not swim.
Justin stopped the battle and immediately dove in after Plusle to get her safety. Justin fairly asked that Plusle be declared unable to battle, which Juan and Lisia, the referee, allowed. Justin got Plusle to stop crying and placed her with Rachel and Minun. Justin asked that she cheer him on for the rest of the battle, which Plusle began to do with Minun's help.
During the Ever Grande Conference, Plusle was Justin's ace during the Double Battle Rounds. She partnered with Eevee, Swellow, and Sealeo between The Helping Hand Double Feature and Slamming the Competition to advance Justin to the Top 8.
Plusle was later Justin's fifth choice during Justin's battle against Andrew between A Full Battle of Wills! and Tactical Evolution. Plusle faced Crawdaunt and comfortably defeated it with a type advantage. She then faced Mega Absol in a rematch of their first battle, but this time, Plusle was swiftly overpowered by Absol's enhanced form in her defeat.
Plusle was not needed in the semifinals as Justin advanced to the finals with only four Pokemon. In the finals, he faced Connor, and the battle took place between The Cream of the Cream of Hoenn and Coronation into the Hoenn Hall of Fame!. During the battle, Plusle was Justin's first Pokemon and faced Froslass but was defeated by her Hail tactics. 
Following the tournament, Justin began a six-month training regimen to prepare to face the Hoenn Elite Four.
==Personality and Characteristics==
Upon introduction, Plusle proved a happy, excitable Pokemon always dancing with Minun to cheer on anyone. Their overly friendly nature can prove troublesome and they like to use Nuzzle or people and Pokemon they like. This would cause them to paralyze the targets of their friendship.
Plusle proved essential in many of Justin's Double Battles in the Hoenn Region, such as his Mossdeep gym battle and the Double Battle rounds of the Ever Grande Conference. Unlike Minun, Plusle took a more offensive role in battle though still providing more power with Helping Hand.
Per her species, Plusle does not like water or rain. While Justin knew this, he did not know how bad when he uses Plusle during his gym battle against Juan, which took place on a water battlefield. Plusle was initially very scared to battle and revealed she could not swim, causing her to panic, but Justin quickly stopped the battle to save her.
