Sadie's Glameow

**Sadie's Glameow** (Japanese: **サディのニャルマー** *Sadei's Nyarmar*) is the very first Pokémon that Sadie ever obtained.

## **New Era**

### **Background**

When Sadie was younger, she was going towards the Trainers' School as usual on a cold morning when she found Glameow in a cardboard box in an alley. She couldn't leave it that way so she took it home, but her parents said she couldn't have a Pokémon until she was a Trainer. They told her to take it to the Pokémon Center, but Sadie decided to secretly raise Glameow in a shed at her school and promised she would make it her partner when she became a Trainer. Candice eventually discovered Sadie's secret, and helped Sadie raise the kitten. The two raised Glameow together until Sadie became a Pokémon Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Sadie on her journey as her starter Pokémon.

### **Sinnoh**

Glameow first appeared when Sadie summoned her to battle a wild Buizel that Dwayne, and many other Trainers had failed to capture, and Sadie decided to try as well. Glameow jumps into the air and uses Shadow Claw, while Buizel dodges and uses Sonic Boom. Glameow uses its Iron Tail to knock away the Sonic Boom attack waves. Buizel uses Water Gun, while Glameow jumps and uses Fury Swipes, as Buizel counters with Aqua Jet. Aqua Jet and Fury Swipes collide, as the Aqua Jet sends Glameow into the ground. Buizel uses another Aqua Jet to knock Glameow out.

During Sadie's first round match-up of the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition, Glameow was chosen to team up with Derek's Slowking to battle against their opponents's Koffing and Scyther. Scyther starts things off with a Razor Wind, and Koffing attacks with a Sludge Bomb. Glameow blocks the Razor Wind with a Shock Wave and Slowking blocks the Sludge Bomb with a Safeguard. Koffing comes back with a Thunderbolt that Slowking blocks with Protect. Scyther attacks with an X-Scissor, but Glameow comes from above with a Slash attack that knocks out Scyther. Koffing uses Gyro Ball, but it is stopped by Slowking's Psychic. Slowking then slams Koffing into the ground knocking it out. The two win with a combination of Derek's defense and Sadie's attack.

Glameow was chosen to battle against a Coordinator's Beautifly in the semi-finals of the Wallace Cup. The battle starts off with Beautifly using Silver Wind, which hits Glameow effectively. Glameow takes the hit for a while before Sadie tells Glameow to jump. Beautifly uses Psychic, but Sadie tells Glameow to dodge and use Shadow Claw, but Beautifly dodges gracefully. However, Sadie anticipated this, and tells Glameow to hit the water. Rising water surrounds Beautifly. Sadie then orders Glameow to use Shock Wave, which bounces on the water and hits Beautifly. After the attack makes contact, the water is zapped away with a sparking Beautifly flying backwards. Beautifly shrugs off the electric charge. Glameow jumps out the water sparkling with an electrical charge glaring at Beautifly. Sadie commands an Iron Tail, but Beautifly uses Silver Wind on the water. Glameow charges through the towering water with Beautifly slyly coming from behind it. Beautifly uses Psychic, which sends Glameow backwards. Beautifly then follows up with Morning Sun, and Beautifly raises up and starts to glow blindingly. Beautifly uses Aerial Ace, and Sadie tells Glameow to use Shadow Claw. The two Pokémon charge at each other over the water and collide resulting in an explosion. Time runs out and the scoreboard reveals that Sadie has won the round.

In the finals, Sadie battles against Top Coordinator Jethro, with Sadie using Glameow while Jethro uses his Glaceon. Sadie starts off telling Glameow to use Shock Wave. Jethro tells Glaceon to dodge and use Secret Power, which hits Glameow, and seems to have it paralyzed for a bit. Jethro then orders Glaceon to use Ice Shard, which has Glameow in a spot. Sadie tells Glameow to go in the water and Glaceon looks menacing at it. Glameow jumps out of the water and Sadie orders it to use Secret Power. Despite the size of it, Jethro isn't phased one bit and orders Glaceon to use Mirror Coat. The two collide, but Glaceon pushes it back at Glameow, which sends it flying backwards. Glameow recovers fast and Sadie tells it to use Shock Wave. Glaceon is hit hard and Jethro loses points.

Jethro tells Glaceon to use Ice Shard, but Glameow dodges with its spinning move. Jethro is impressed but sees where Glameow will land. Before Glameow lands, Jethro orders Glaceon to use Secret Power. Sadie tries to have Glameow land before Glaceon hits, but Glaceon is too fast. Glameow is sent spinning into the air, but Sadie uses it against Jethro by having Glameow spin gracefully and landing in a pose, which surprises both Jethro and Glaceon. Jethro has Glaceon use Shadow Ball and toss it in the air. Glaceon jumps and flips twice hitting the Shadow Ball with its tail giving it momentum. Sadie isn't worried as Ghost-type attacks have zero effect on Normal-types, but the Shadow Ball wasn't being aimed at Glameow, but at the pod, and the impact sends shock waves that send Glameow flying, which impresses the judges and Marian.

Sadie tells Glameow to use Shadow Claw, but Jethro has Glaceon dodge it and use Ice Shard. Sadie counters it by having Glameow block it with Iron Tail. Sadie then has Glameow ride the waves, which gets everyone's attention and applause. Jethro tells Glaceon to use Shadow Ball and Sadie has Glameow dodge. The Shadow Ball hits the wave and becomes a huge splash of water. Sadie has Glameow use Shock Wave, and Glameow comes through the water and releases electric waves. Glaceon is hit hard again, and Jethro tells it to use Secret Power. Sadie responds by using Iron Tail. When then two attacks hit, both Pokémon are sent flying, but Jethro quickly follows up by having Glaceon use Ice Shard, which hits Glameow hard. Sadie has Glameow use Shock Wave and Jethro responds with Mirror Coat. Glaceon stands up to it for a while and eventually Glaceon and Glameow both get hit as a result. The two Pokémon are still standing after being washed back to their places and time runs out. Jethro and Sadie look up to see who won the Cup and the points couldn't be closer, but with just 5 points ahead of Sadie, Jethro has won the Wallace Cup. Sadie tells Glameow that it did a good job and Glameow feels great about being complimented.

During the final stage of the Pokémon Triathlon, Glameon was called out by Sadie to accompany her, as the rules stated that each Trainer needed to choose at least one Pokémon to race alongside them. Sadie and Glameow ultimately came in third place.

During Sadie's battle against Dwayne in the third round of the Lily of the Valley Conference, Glameow was chosen as Sadie's third and final remaining Pokémon, battling against Dwayne's Lopunny. Dwayne commands Lopunny to use Jump Kick, but Sadie orders Fake Out, which strikes first and causes Lopunny to flinch, unable to attack. Sadie then quickly follows up by ordering Thunderbolt, striking Lopunny and seemingly leaving her paralyzed. Sadie takes this opportunity to command Glameow to use Iron Tail, but at the last second, Lopunny leaps out of the way and scores a direct hit with Ice Beam. As Sadie becomes confused as she assumed Lopunny was paralyzed, Dwayne reveals that Lopunny's Ability was Limber, which prevented her from getting paralyzed. As Sadie grits her teeth, she orders Glameow to use Iron Tail again, but Lopunny displays her swift agility by leaping onto Glameow's tail and bouncing off of it towards the sky. Still airborne, Lopunny fires off Focus Blast, but Glameow dodges, by using her long ears, Lopunny quickly bounces towards Glameow and scored a direct hit with Dizzy Punch, seemingly leaving it confused. Dwayne then commands Lopunny to use Dizzy Punch again, but at the last second, Sadie tells Glameow to attack with Iron Tail, but Dwayne smiles and quickly orders Lopunny to retreat, shocking Sadie.

Dwayne explains that he knew Glameow wasn't confused, and Sadie questions him as to how he knew. Dwayne says that when a Pokémon gets confusion, small star-shaped sparks float around their head as a true sign of their confusion, but Glameow never demonstrated that, and Dwayne correctly guesses that Glameow's Ability was Own Tempo, which Sadie indeed confirms. Dwayne's cunning attention to detail impresses not only Cynthia, but also Lazuli, who mumbles that Dwayne wasn't "half bad". Dwayne then commands Lopunny to use Focus Blast, and Sadie commands Glameow to use Iron Tail to redirect the attack back towards Lopunny. However, Dwayne predicted this and orders Lopunny to use Jump Kick to send the attack back towards Glameow, who then uses Iron Tail again to redirect the attack, as the battle becomes a ping-pong battle as the Focus Blast bounces back and forth between both Pokémon. After a while, Dwayne sees that Glameow is getting even more tired, and as Lopunny bounces her Focus Blast back again, Dwayne quickly orders another Focus Blast, and as Glameow uses Iron Tail on the first to bounce it back, the second Focus Blast comes in at full speed and collides with the first Focus Blast, which explodes upon contact, catching Glameow in the blast, which knocks it out of battle, giving Dwayne the win.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

Due to Sadie taking care and raising Glameow since she was a kitten, Glameow deeply loves and admires her Trainer, and shares a strong, unbroken, bond with Sadie. Being her first Pokémon, Glameow is unquestionably Sadie's strongest and most reliable Pokémon, being used for her Trainer's most important battles.
