BW009: The Bloom Is on Axew!

Nov-11-2010

Iris and Axew have a practice battle against Cilan and Pansage. Since Cilan was a gentleman, he decided to get Pansage to use his moves lightly on Axew, sine it was Axew has never battled before.

However he loses his balance and falls down and gets caught between a wild Scolipede's two horns. A battle to stop Scolipede proves difficult due to the wild centipede's massive strength, so Iris tries to get her Excadrill to lend a hand despite it not listening to her. Although they manage to rescue Axew, the Scolipede is still angry and accidently kicks Excadrill away. This makes Excadrill spring into action and quickly defeats then send the Scolipede flying. Although the team is grateful for Excadrill's help, he still refuse to listen to Iris and turn back into its drill mode and is taken back to its Poké Ball. Later, Ash insists to have a battle with Iris. Iris (being sarcastic) tells Ash if he wants to battle so badly, just battle Pikachu. Ash follows her idea and battles Pikachu, which fails dramaticly.

* When Chili got a red and glowing face in Cress' flashback this might be a reference to Ash's anger in The Bicker the Better.
* When a still picture of Chili hugging his Pansear while his laughing and Pansear gleefully squeeling can be heard, this might be a reference to Sweet Baby James when there was still picture of James hugging Chimecho followed by James' laughing and Chimecho's "chiming" during the song Best Friends.

Skyla returns Unfezant and calls out Swanna and it used Aqua Ring as a defensive position to deflect any electric moves because it's when she did this back when she became a gym leader. She studied her grandfather's old videos on the computer when he mastered that move back in the day. The way that she did just until now. When her move cobination ends this, Pikachu still survived that and gets up but worn out. So Ash calls Tranquill out once again and battled long and hard as Tranquill used gust but to prove to no avail against the powerful move of the hurricane from Swanna. It looks like it's about to end, but Tranquill evolves into a Female Unfezant and his Female Unfezant's flying skills surpass of Skyla's Male Unfezant which will match Swanna's skill and makes it much more competitive and Swanna and Unfezant takes to the skies as they chase each other. Unfezant used Aerial Ace to take down Swanna once and for all and Ash wins the battle which earns him the Jet Badge from Skyla and she'll have no Air Battles for her that day when she's off guard. The next city gym Ash goes when Skyla told her is Icirrus City. 2 more badges to go before Ash enters the Unova League as the journey continues.

## Appearence

Banette looks like a possessed doll. Its body is a dark gray. Its mouth looks like a yellow zipper and it has a yellow star shaped tail. On the back of it's head there is a "zigzag line",but no one knows what it is or what it might use it for.

## Evolution

## Etymology

Banette's name is derived from the words "*bane*" and "marionette".

## Trivia

* Banette played a small part in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Sky's Special Episdoe "Igglybuff The Prodigy." He went exploring, along with Skorupi and Igglybuff, through the first dungeon.
* It is said that if Banette opens it's mouth, the horrible curse that it holds will come out of it.
* Banette is one of the few pure **Ghost**-type Pokémon.
* Banette's Japanese name may derive from Geppetto, a fictional character who is most famous for creating and raising Pinocchio.
