Rachel's Minun

Rachel's Minun is a -Type Pokemon, the first Pokemon Rachel captured during her journey in the Hoenn region, and her second overall.
==Biography==
===Grand Conquest===
Minun debuted in Nuzzle'n Friends! alongside Plusle. They were drawn to Rachel and Justin training their Pokemon and used Helping Hand to help Justin's Torchic learn Flame Charge. In playfulness, Minun and Plusle paralyzed the trainers and their Pokemon with Nuzzle. After they recovered, Rachel and Justin used Mudkip and Kirlia to battle and capture Minun and Plusle, respectively.
In Minun's Spectacular Encore!, Minun and Plusle cheered on Mudkip as he was preparing for the Fallarbor Contest. When Minun took particular interest in the rainbow effect of Mudkip's Water Pledge, his hands glowed a pale shade in cheering and accidentally forced Mudkip to keep repeating Water Pledge. Rachel scanned her Pokemon and soon realized Minun had learned Encore. Justin explained the effects of Encore, and Rachel made a spontaneous decision to have Minun compete in the upcoming Contest.
For the appeal stage of the Contest, Minun used Swift and smashed the ground with Charge Beam to destroy the stars in stardust and advance Rachel to the battle rounds. In the opening battle rounds, Minun's playfulness and friendliness allowed him to defeat a Lombre to advance to the finals.
Minun faced Summer's Loudred in the finals and struggled against its sonic abilities, but managed to use Encore, forcing it to use Stomp continuously. Minun then paralyzed Loudred with Nuzzle and struck with Swift. Following a collision between Charge Beam and Flamethrower, Minun defeated Loudred by points to earn Rachel her first Hoenn Ribbon.
In Mauville Goes Dark!, Minun and Plusle became sick after absorbing too much electricity due to their Hidden Abilities when Mauville City's power grid malfunctioned. Rachel and Justin took their Pokemon to New Mauville where Minun and Plusle were able to release their electricity once Leader Wattson fixed the power grid. As they did, the overcharge allowed Minun and Plusle to learn Spark.
Between Struggle for the Eon I and II!, Minun helped Rachel save a Latias from the clutches of Team Aqua, and Minun defeated Matt's Mightyena. As a result, Latios took a liking to Minun and the Electric-Type returned the affection.
In Volatile Ceasefire!, Rachel called on Minun with Marshtomp and Skitty 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.
During the Battle Palace Battle Tent, Minun battled for Rachel in the first round, facing Monica and her Salazzle. Battling without commands, Minun did not take the battle seriously and was more interested in making friends, which allowed him to defeat Salazzle. 
During the Hoenn Grand Festival, Rachel called on Minun to be her ace Double Battle Pokemon. He partnered with Jigglpuff and Skitty to advance Rachel to the Top 8. In A Festival Change in Tactic and Appeal!, Minun partnered with Marshtomp against Andre and his team of Mantine and Glameow. The battle was very tightly contested as both sides proved equal until the very end, but Minun and Marshtomp secured a close victory for Rachel to advance her to the semifinals. 
In A New Journey from a New Perspective, Rachel returned to Kalos and she brought all of her Pokemon with her. Minun and Plusle shared a very long goodbye before departing.
==Personality and Characteristics==
Minun is a very happy, energetic Pokemon who would rather play than battle. During his introduction, Minun didn't truly understand battling and thought it was another type of game. Minun subsequently had to be taught to battle, and when he learned, he became one of Rachel's best double battlers, often assuming a supportive and defensive role.
Minun is also extremely friendly, and his first instinct is to cuddle up against a new friend or even opponent is to rub up against them with Nuzzle, but this often proved problematic to his targets who are left paralyzed. 
When not battling or performing, Minun and Plusle often cheer on the sidelines for Rachel or Justin and their Pokemon. When Rachel and Justin regularly struggle with Team Aqua and Team Magma, Minun and Plusle often use Helping Hand to assist their teammates. 
Per his species, Minun does not like rain or water and therefore tries to run away when Rachel bathes him.
