Bubbles (Dragonet)

> "...I know you care about me. I know your intentions are good. And I know you want to keep me safe. But... you're doing it too much. **I LOVE YOU**. More than anything else. But **YOU** are being too overprotective! **YOU** are being ridiculous with this petty rampage to hunt me down! **YOU** are destroying public property and scaring civilians! And **YOU** did not consider **MY** feelings!

> - Dragonet, "Behaver Yourself"

**Bubbles** (バブル-ちゃん *Baburu-chan*, ***Bubbles***?), better known by her nickname **Dragonet** (したさかん-ちゃん *Shitasakan-chan*, ***Dragonet***?), is a supporting Pokémon character appearing in seasons 4-13 of *Guardians of Harmony*, and, along with her Trainer, a supporting character in Season 8 of the sidestory GoH:FiM. She is a rude and snarky Ninja Dragonet owned by Elizabeth who is in fact very caring and kind.

## Bio

### Appearance

Dragonet is a Ninja Dragonet with a pink head and face, an azure blue main body, and red eyes with sky blue eyelids. Her fins except her pectoral fins are orange with purple tips and sea green spots while her main body has cyan and orange stripes. She often carries her (green) blade or shuriken stuck to her side. In her powerup mode, her skin noticeably darkens and she carries a big version of her Mucus Shuriken on her back.

### Personality

Dragonet is usually a rude, snarky, snide, brutally honest, and sarcastic jerk whose snarkiness even makes Cheren green with envy. She loses her temper very easily and is easily annoyed, and is not afraid to yell at somecreature if they do something really stupid, due to suffering from PTSD she acquired from being experimented on at an unauthorized lab that illegally tested personal care products on Pokémon. Despite this, however, she does truly care for her friends and is normally kind and gentle when not pissed off, and loves her daughters dearly. While she rarely admits it, she also has a gluttonous and slightly childish side as well, as she loves to eat and often begs and whines for food like a dog.

She has a very close relationship with her Trainer, though even best friends aren't perfect. Although Shitasakan-chan loves her Trainer very much, more than anything, she is often annoyed and frustrated when she obsesses over her safety (even though Ninja Dragonets can't survive on their own anyways) to an obsessive degree, scolds her excessively, or takes away her daily spoonful of cashew butter as punishment whenever she misbehaves. This is best shown when she LOSES IT at Behaver and angrily says she loves her but is at the same time pissed off that she is being too overprotective and didn't consider her feelings.

### Relationships

* **Bouncee**: The two normally get along very well and are close friends... even though Dragonet has a Hair-Trigger Temper, as shown in "Heck's Kitchen" where she gets so angry at her best friend for licking the spoon and putting it back in the food (causing cross-contamination) that she breaks the fourth wall by *pulling a frying pan out her thought balloon* and threatening to whack her with it, only to realize how much a jerk move that is and causing her to run away crying, forcing her to go apologize and make up.

## Moves Used

* Mucus Shuriken
* Return
* Mucus Gun
* Zen Headbutt
* Transform

## Spells

* **Warm Love Hug**: Her most used spell. She envelops her body in an aura of pink love magic and then hugs or makes contact with somecreature, calming them down and physically warming them up. This spell does use up a fair amount of her energy, however. However, if somecreature is about to witch out and the spell doesn't calm them down fast enough, it won't work, as shown when she attempted to use this on her Trainer to try and stop her from witching out, but it didn't work.
* **Love Trail**: This spell lets her actively "sniff" a trail of strong love and track it to the source like a bloodhound tracking a scent trail. It also lets her sense the love radiating off of others.
* **Tasty Transmutation**: This spell lets her magically transmute the strong love radiating off others into desserts like cookies or a piece of cake, which she loves to eat. However, her Trainer doesn't allow her to use this very often due to them not exactly being the healthiest thing for her.

## Pokémon Analysis Card Profile

A Ninja Dragonet with a Gentle nature, who often comes off as a jerk (sometimes even to her own daughters) but is quite nice and caring deep down. Though she loves her Trainer dearly, she is sometimes frustrated when she worries about her safety a bit *too* much. Her Element of Harmony is Love.

## Trivia

* Despite having three daughters, she is 3 years old or the Ninja Dragonet equivalent of a 14-15 year old human. This may explain why being a mother is so stressful for her.
* Her favorite food is cashew butter, and she loves it so much that her Trainer has to limit her to one spoonful a day and Pokémon-proof the cashew butter jar lid (so even if she steals the jar from Elizabeth's backpack, she can't open it) to prevent her from eating the entire jar in one sitting. If she misbehaves, she takes away her daily cashew butter spoonful as punishment.
* Despite not having a Poké Ball, she is still officially owned by Elizabeth, as the Ninja Dragonet shelter manually registered her as belonging to her instead as a compromise over her refusal to go into a Poké Ball even for a second to be caught.
* As a running gag, whenever she tries to flip somecreature off by raising her fin, Nanette will point out that she has no fingers and say "Nice try."
* Some time prior to Season 14, just before the Guardians and their Pokémon got kidnapped, she makes the difficult decision to send her daughters away with Natsuko despite their screaming and crying so they don't get kidnapped as well. While she shoves them into her arms and makes a Platonic Declaration of Love telling them to be good, when Ash tried to do the same and shove Thunders and his other Pokémon into Lola's arms, they got trapped in the crystals as well before he could.
* In the S13 episode where Sugar pisses off all the Guardians by shipping them all with each other and causes them to witch out, Dragonet herself is forced to use her magic-infused version of Return and then use Transform to turn into a copy of Nanette, to purify all of them. Unfortunately, she falls into a coma as a result for a few episodes afterwards, leaving her daughters and Trainer depressed and closed-off until she wakes up.
* In the GoH:FiM Season 8 episode "School Raze," she gets sent to Tartarus along with Casty, Bluey, Bubblebath (not the pony since she doesn't exist), and the ponies, and much to her horror, she later finds out that her Trainer and daughters have been in denial over Cozy Glow being evil and misguidedly *helped her get away*. However, they soon realize the truth and realize that they inaverdantly let a dangerous villain be on the loos
* She is the most common character to make Platonic Declarations of Love. Nanette and Jim, however, also have *quite* a few. As a result, Molly's Harmony Mark also glows so bright when she does this that it can cause blindness, such as in "Behaver Yourself" where it glows so brightly when she vents that she loves her Trainer but can't stand her right now that Nanette and Bailey become blind for several minutes.
