==History==
===Battles Ablaze===
Bulbasaur was introduced in I Sing of Arms and the Man! along with a Charmander and Squirtle that Professor Oak planned to give to new trainers. Upon being presented with the choices for her first Pokémon to begin her travels in the Kanto region, Yazmyne chose Bulbasaur because of the three Pokemon he was the most eager to go on an adventure.
In Journey Begun!, Yazmyne began training Bulbasaur and learning more about him. After a few days of training, Bulbasaur defeated wild Pidgey, whom Yazmyne captured.
Yazmyne and Bulbasaur had their first Trainer battle against Yazmyne's fellow rookie Daniel from the Alola Region in First Battles in Virdian City!. Bulbasaur battled against Daniel's Popplio and defeated him with a type advantage. Top Coordinator and contest announcer Elena observed the battle and recommended that Yazmyne and Daniel enter the upcoming Viridian Contest with their Pokemon, which Yazmyne eventually considered. 
To compete in the Viridian Contest, Yazmyne planned to use Bulbasaur in the battle rounds, but she was too preoccupied in training her newly caught Caterpie to focus on him. In Speeding Up the Evolution Process!, Bulbasaur, understood Yazmyne's situation, set out to train on his own. He came across a colony of Grass-Type Pokemon, who were able to use Razor Leaf. Bulbasaur was unable to execute the attack and asked to be taught from the wild Pokemon. After Bulbasaur defeated a Bellsprout to prove his worth, he was welcomed to the colony and learned Razor Leaf. That night, Bulbasaur returned to Yazmyne filthy from training and showed off his new Razor Leaf. While Yazmyne was thrilled, she was quickly focused on cleaning her Pokemon. 
In First Time's the Charm!, Bulbasaur entered the Viridian Contest battle rounds after Yazmyne scantly pass the appeal stage. Bulbasaur faced a Machoke in their first round match. Bulbasaur struggled against Machoke's incredible power and Flamethrower, but after Bulbasaur wrapped Machoke with the vines of Leech Seed, Bulbasaur was able to win the battle by points. In the semifinals, Bulbasaur faced Nick's Riolu and came back from a slow start by using his vines to restrict and toy with Riolu. The semifinal grew intense and Bulbasaur won the battle on points to advance Yazmyne to the finals. On the final stage, Bulbasaur defeated a Pikachu by knockout to win Yazmyne the Viridian City Contest and her first Kanto ribbon.
Bulbasuar continued to be the main powerhouse on Yazmyne's team, helping her earn the Boulder Badge and Cascade Badge in Rock Crushers! and Calming the Cascading Waves! by defeating Forrest's Rhyhorn as well as Misty's Corsola and Politoed, taking full advantage of the type advantages he had over them. 
In Officially Rivals!, Bulbasaur recognized the new Bellsprout Daniel had captured as the same Pokemon who was a member of the colony of Grass Pokemon who helped Bulbasaur learn Razor Leaf. Meeting again, the two shook vines and ate together when their trainers were relaxing.
In The Urge to Perform!, Bulbasaur and Butterfree convinced Yazmyne to become a Coordinator since the two of them wanted to compete in Contests. Bulbasaur appeared on the appeal stage and juggled several balls with his vines to earn a modest score, but enough to place Yazmyne in the battle rounds. 
Yazmyne had Bulbasaur battle has her fourth Pokemon in a trainer battle against Megan in Treading Along the Lavender Path!. Bulbasaur went up against Megan's surprisingly tough Drifloon who used Minimize to shrink and suddenly increase in size. Yazmyne chose Bulbasaur despite the type disadvantage so Bulbasaur could use his vines to deflect Drifloon's Shadow Ball and Will-o-Wisp attacks back at it, which allowed Bulbasaur to finally defeat Drifloon with Razor Leaf. Bulbasaur continued to face Megan's final Pokemon, Nidorino, and won by continuously weakening Nidorino with Leech Seed, which also won Yazmyne the battle.
Bulbasaur suffered its first loss in An Insightful Battle! during Yazmyne's third gym battle in Lavender Town against Leader Cleo, losing to her Gastly. Yazymne still won the battle due to Butterfree and Staryu, but Bulbasaur took the defeat as a sign of weakness.
In the following episode, Bulbasaur was still furious over his first loss and he took out its anger of defeat on his comrades and Yazmyne. He eventually ran away, angry and ashamed. Bulbasaur accidentally angered a pair of Nidoking and Nidoqueen and Bulbasaur battled both of them at the same time to prove his strength and was horribly defeated, hurting his pride again. Yazmyne founds the defeated Bulbasaur who was trying to treat his wounds but was too weak to do so effectively. Bulbasaur growled at Yazmyne when she tried to treat him, but she forcibly treated him using Spinarak's String Shot and Butterfree's Confusion to keep in him place. Yazmyne convinced Bulbasaur to come back with her, but Bulbasaur only would after he defeated the Nidoqueen and Nidoking who defeated him. Yazmyne and Bulbasaur trained together and Bulbasaur learned Energy Ball in the process. Together with Staryu, Bulbasaur battled the two fully-evolved Pokemon. They still proved too strong, prompting Bulbasaur to evolve into Ivysaur to help win the battle. Following this victory, Ivysaur came across an Everstone, which he tucked into the flower on his back to prevent him from evolving again, which Yazmyne supported. 
In Stunning Creativity!, Yazmyne had her Pokemon try to make their own contest combination, in which Ivysaur used Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, but Yazmyne chose Staryu as the winner. 
In Playing Ninja I!, Ivysaur was Yazmyne's second Pokemon in her Gym Battle against Leader Janine. Ivysaur faced Janine's Koffing and struggled, not knowing any attacks to effectively counter Poison-Type Pokemon. Despite the setback, Ivysaur managed to weaken Koffing with Energy Ball before a final Energy Ball, rendered it unable to battle. Upon defeat however, Koffing used Destiny Bond on Ivysaur, knocking him out too. 
For the HopHopHop Town Contest in Claiming the Third Ribbon Prize!, Yazmyne had Ivysaur perform on the appeal stage. Ivysaur released a tornado of leaves with Razor Leaf and demonstrated his dexterity with his vine by then destroying the leaves in sparkles with Vine Whip. Ivysaur's appeal landed Yazmyne in the battle rounds. 
In Defeat's Glittering and Colorful Spores!, Yazmyne intended to use Ivysaur in her Celedon City Gym Battle against Leader Erika. When Yazmyne was down to her last Pokemon, Ivysaur expressed desire to battl, but she chose her disobedient Pidgeotto instead which angered the Seed Pokemon. After Yazmye lost the battle anyway, Ivysaur was very upset because Yazmyne did not trust him to win her the battle. Taking a respectable gap before challenging Erika to a rematch, Yazmyne and Ivysaur trained hard so Ivysaur would help Yazmyne defeat Erika's Grass Pokemon.
In Forced Evolution!, Ivysaur helped Yazmyne defeat the Eevee Brothers to reclaim her stolen Staryu who had evolved into Starmie. 
In Over the Rainbow!, Ivysaur battled first in Yazmyne's rematch against Erika and he managed to defeat the leader's Tangrowth after a lengthy battle. Ivysaur, which triggered his Overgrow Ability for the first time. Ivysaur prepared to continue, but Erika called off the battle conceding defeat as the only Pokemon Yazmyne could not defeat prior was defeated. Therefore, Erica granted Yazmyne her the Rainbow Badge.
Ivysaur's next major battle was in The Army Salute! as Yazmyne's final Pokemon during her gym battle against Lt. Surge, and he battled Surge's Electabuzz. Using his Grass-Typing and Contest skills, Ivysaur outperformed Electabuzz until the latter took a hold of Ivysaur's vines to land a direct Thunderbolt. Ivysaur endured the shock and used the connection to land a direct Energy Ball. Electabuzz lunged toward Ivysaur with Ice Punch, but Ivysaur stopped Electabuzz Leech Seed which also drained Electabuzz's energy and healed Ivysaur. Ivysaur then defeated Electabuzz with Razor Leaf to win Yazmyne the Thunder Badge.
In The Saffron Dojo Showdown!, Ivysaur battled third in Yazmyne's gym battle against Leader Koji, facing his Nidoqueen. Ivysaur and Nidoqueen engaged in a brutal tussel, which triggered Ivysaur's Overgrow Ability. The boost in power allowed Ivysaur to reel in Nidoqueen's legs, causing her to fall and leave her helpless to a point-blank Energy Ball that won Ivysaur the round. Ivysaur then battled Koji's Heracross. With minimum health, Ivysaur was defeated after a single attack, but managed to land a Leech Seed that sapped Heracross for the rest of the match.
In Do or Die Contest Version!, Ivysaur performed for Yazmyne in the battle rounds, defeating a Murkrow in the final to earn Yazmyne her fifth and final ribbon, thus qualifying her for the Kanto Grand Festival.
In All that Mixes with Ice!, Yazmyne was searching for the right partner for her newly evolved Ninetales. Of all Yazmyne's Contest Pokemon, Ivysaur proved the worst match-up with Ninetales and because of it, Yazmyne partnered them so opponents would be unprepared for their teamwork. 
During the Kanto Grand Festival, Ivysaur performed during the first rounds of appeals in One Hit Wonder!. Ivysaur fired a Leech Seed into the ground. The seeds immediately grew into a multiple branched vines that Ivysaur controlled to become into a large tree. Ivysaur's performance advanced Yazmyne to the second appeal stage. 
Ivysaur performed twice in the battle rounds of the festival. In Jostling for the Coveted Cup!, Ivysaur joined Butterfree to defeat a Pikachu and Clefairy by knockout to advance Yazmyne to the quarterfinals. In Storm Princess!, Ivysaur then competed with Ninetales in the semifinals, facing Savannah's Blastoise and Mismagius. Ivysaur and Ninetales struggled against their experienced opponents, but they managed to creep ahead in points with power, creativity, and trickery. Ivysaur and Mismagius were knocked out midway through the battle when their Energy Ball and Power Gem attacks collided at close range for an explosion. Due to Ninetales' efforts against Blastoise, however, Yazmyne still advanced to the finals. 
In Battled Town to Pidgeot!, Ivysaur battled as Yazmyne's first Pokemon in her fourth match again Dawnson during the Indigo Plateau Conference, making his tournament debut. Ivysaur faced Dawson's Typhlosion. Despite the evolutionary and type disadvantage, Ivysaur pushed Typhlosion with perfect use of Vine Whip and Razor Leaf to evade and smother Typhlosion's fire attacks while maintaining a consistent aggressive stance. Ivysaur was soon forced to endure heavy fire attacks and burned as Typhlosion developed speed with Flame Charge, but it triggered his Overgrow Ability triggered. Ivysaur beat Typhlosion more and attempted to win with an enhanced Energy Ball, but Tyhplosion countered with Blast Burn to demolish the Energy Ball and capture Ivysaur in an explosion that rendered him unable to battle.
Yazmyne ultimately defeated Dawson and took Ivysaur to the Pokemon Center to be healed after the battle. Nurse Joy, however, informed Yazmyne that Ivysaur had significant burns done to his forelegs and feet that could not be treated with a simple Rawst Berry. Ivysaur's feet were bandaged, and Nurse Joy wrote steps for treatment and a recommendation that Ivysaur be removed from competition. 
In Peaking Pokeathlete!, Yazmyne pretended to be unbothered by Ivysaur's condition to focus on her Top 16 battle against Declan. Ivsyaur continued to support his teammates from the sidelines during practice but he could not longer walk without feeling deep pain. Yazmyne was rattled and recalled Ivysaur. During Yazmyne and Declan's battle, Yazmyne could not focus and hesitated making commands in fear that her Pokemon would be injured as badly as Ivysaur, and this fear led to her defeat.
===Riau Adventures===
Despite several weeks of recovery, Ivysaur was not making much progress in his recovery, following the Indigo Plateau Conference, and required months before the burns would fully heal. Yazmyne refused to continue her travels without Ivysaur but was eventually convinced by her mother to travel to Riau.
===The Orange Saga===
Ivysaur returned in Top Class Coordinating!, tackling Yazmyne with love as he was fully healed from his burns. Elated, no matter where she went Yazmyne was certain to take Ivysaur with her to her next adventure. This would ultimately be the Orange Archipelago. They left with Eevee and Shelgon in The Orange Crew Awaits. 
When Yazmyne's Orange League journey was horribly sidelined, she had to attend a trainer school with Nick. Between PokePark Attraction I! and PokePark Attraction II!, Ivysaur joined Yazmyne during the live action portion of her final exam, where they had to traverse the Tangelo Island Pokemon Park to return to the trainer school. Ivysaur used his vines to easily retrieve items and berries while also being also to safely guide Yazmyne across cliffs. They eventually got lost, and spent the night in a tree occupied by a Corphish. Ivysaur restrained the angry Corphish as he and Yazmyne went to sleep.
The next day, Corphish guided Yazmyne and Ivysaur back to the school after they gave Corphish some berries. Yazmyne then had Ivysaur battle Corphish in order for her to capture him. Though Ivysaur's skills had dulled after being injured, he was able to defeat Corphish and allow Yazmyne to capture him.
In By the Fireplace!, Ivysaur acted as a comfort pet for Yazmyne who was reeling in from her fears of climbing the Navel Island Gym's Mountain.
A bit later, in Outdoor Athletics!, Ivysaur helped Yazmyne with her Navel Island Gym Battle. Ivysaur teamed with Electivire and Eevee during the second task of building a bobsled. Ivysaur used his sharp vines to smoothen and sharpen the ice after Eevee and Electivire shaped it. Yazmyne lost the task, finishing ninety minutes after Danny, but she still advanced to the racing round.
Ivysaur then joined Shelgon and Spritzee during the bobsled race. Ivysaur's role was to use his Vine Whip and Razor Leaf to destroy anything in the sled's path. Ivysaur's vines assisted in steering and acting as a sling to lift the sled in the air to fly and launch the sled toward the finish line. Ivysaur's help won Yazmyne her second Orange League Badge.
Ivysaur returned to the contest stage in an exhibition performance against Scyther in The Yanbera Exhibition! on Mandarin Island North. Unlike their first encounter, Ivysaur proved rusty and lost to the Mantis Pokemon despite executing a new tactic to make-up the difference. Ivysaur was defeated by knockout. 
In The Masked Meadow Champion!, Yazmyne called on Ivysaur to battle a powerful wild Hawlucha. During their battle, Yazmyne used his superior skills to edge out Hawlucha and nearly defeated before they were attacked by wild Pokemon angry at Hawlucha. Ivysaur and Hawlucha later had a rematch and Hawlucha learned from her mistakes from her previous battle. She adjusted her strategy, but so did Yazmyne and Ivysaur, allowing him to defeat her. Yazmyne subsequently captured Hawlucha.
During Yazmyne's official Trovita Island Gym Battle, Yazmyne has Ivysaur enter the Grass Test as her only Grass-Type Pokemon. The battle was had in Facing the Elemental Master!, and Ivysaur faced Rudy's Ferrothorn. Ivysaur struggled as his Grass-Type attacks had little effect on a Steel/Grass-Type Pokemon. In addition, Ferrothorn's Poison Barbs make the task more difficult. Ivysaur subsequently forced a power boost by consuming his own Energy Ball. Ivysaur overwhelmed Ferrothorn with ease, and Ferrothorn responded with an Explosion. Ivysaur defended himself with Leech Seed and survived the impact. Ferrothorn was knocked out, making Ivysaur the winner.
In Beautifly and Me!, Ivysaur played with Eevee and occasionally watched over Yazmyne's training of Beautifly. When an outraged beautifly attacked Yazmyne, Ivusaur attacked Beautifly in kind, nearly leading to a fight between him, Beautifly, Butterfree, and the Eevee. Yazmyne had Gastly put everyone to sleep with Hypnosis to stop the growing scene.
In Pokemon Triple Trouble, Ivysaur participated in Yazmyne's Kumquat Island Gym Challenge against Luana. He joined Shelgon and Gastly in the Triple Battle Round, and they faced Luana's Mamoswine, Vanilluxe, and Beartic. The team of Ice-Type Pokemon completely overwhelmed Ivysaur and his teammates who were out of sync and could not battle effectively together. They were all knocked out, this losing the gym battle for Yazmyne.
Yazmyne brought Ivysaur with her to Shamounti Island when she needed to take photographs of the Legendary Birds. Ivysaur assisted in the photograph of Articuno in Titan of Ice, teaming with Beautifly with home he previously squabbled. The two worked very well together to temporarily restrain Articuno and allow Yazmyne to photograph it. 
Ivyaur then helped with the photograph of Zapdos in Titan of Lightning by using Razor Leaf to disperse Zapdos' electrical attacks. 
During the remaining time on the islands, Ivysaur regularly trained with his old friend Butterfree as well as Beautifly, reestablishing their friendship and new bonds after they had all fought. 
Yazmyne hat her rematch against Luana in The Single Double Triple. Due to Ivysaur's teamwork with Beautifly, Yazmyne had them team together during the Double Battle challenge. They faced a Castform and Heatmor, and they used a Fire strategy. When Beautifly was pegged as the weakest link, Ivysaur was able to trap their opponents with Leech Seed. They proceeded to use a combination of Ominous Wind and Razor Leaf to deal heavy damage. Beautifly was still knocked out during the round, but Ivysaur defeated both of their opponents to win the battle.
In Mega Rampage, Salamence Mega Evolved and rampaged. Ivysaur took by Yazmyne and protected her when one of Salamence's stray attacks nearly hit her. This incident damaged Salamance and Shelgon's relationship despite Yazmyne trying to convince Ivysaur that Salamence wasn't at fault. 
Luana directed Yazmyne and Nick to Ultima to teach Yazmyne and Salamence to control his nee Mega Evolution. They arrived to Ultima's private island in The Legend of Ultima, and Ultima immediately tested their strength. Salamence Mega Evolved to face Ultima's Feraligatr, who could no Mega Evolve. For a few moments, Salamence listened to Yazmyne, but he regressed into a rampage. Feraligatr knew how to handle even the strongest Mega Pokemon and defeated Mega Salamence. 
In The Blood Soaked Crescent, Yazmyne and Salamence began their Mega Evolution. When they attempted Mega Evolution without Ultima's command, Ivysaur joined the group in finding them. When they did, Ivysaur was especially horrified to see his trainer greviously injured from Salamence's attack during another rampage he had in Mega Evolution. Ivysaur attacked Salamence with multiple Energy Balls, telling him to leave and never come back. Salamence subsequently fled to another unknown island. 
==Personality and Characteristics==
Venusaur has always been an anchor for Yazmyne even during his days as a Bulbasaur. He always took battles seriously and would act as the leader of Yazmyne's Pokemon. He was generally a serious Pokemon, but lightened up exceptionally during Contests. He developed a passion to perform after entering the Viridian Contest and convinced Yazmyne to become a Coordinatort. As Yazmyne's first Pokemon, he became a natural leader and is friendly with all of his teammates. He, though, must separate them with his vines when internal struggles come up. In addition, he had the habit of grabbing his teammates with his vines when it was time to treat their wounds, even if it stopped a battle, a bit to Yazmyne's dismay.
Upon introduction as a Bulbasaur, Venusaur was a determined, serious Pokemon, who desired to win every match. His determination proved effective and powerful as he had not lost a match until until he fell to Miss Cleo's Gastly. His pride was so hurt that he ran away from Yazmyne to train and never lose again. He evolved during this time and Yazmyne had to coach Ivysaur on taking a loss, accepting it, and moving on by becoming stronger together. Ivysaur took these words to heart, but he was determined to be strong in his current form and never evolve into Venusaur by finding an Everstone and tucking it in his leaves, a secret he kept from Yazmyne for a long time. Years later, to protect his trainer and fellow Grass-Types, Ivysaur did not care about this pride and evolved into Venusaur.
Venusaur was one of the few Pokemon who never desired Yazmyne's attention as he knew the two had a bond the other Pokemon would not overcome, something Yazmyne admitted to her parents as she said her Grass-Type was "special" and she would not even think of obtaining a new one. Their bond was later shown when Yazmyne was faced with the prospect of needing to release Venusaur to protect a large village of Grass-Type Pokemon. Yazmyne was vehemently against not traveling with her first Pokemon, but she gave in when seeing how much other Pokemon needed Venusaur more that she did though Yazmyne was unable to issue effective battle commands for a long time since she could no longer just call on her first Pokemon.
