**Oshawott** is an Oshawott owned by Ash Ketchum, formerly Professor Juniper.

## Personality

Oshawott's behavior is similar in a way to Aipom and Bayleef as a Chikorita, often attention-seeking and sometimes interfering. This was first shown in *A Sandile Gusher of Change!*, when he wanted to travel with Ash, he jealously knocked Pikachu off Ash's shoulder and pretended that he was as close to Ash as Pikachu was and when Ash was at the Pokémon Battle Club battling another Trainer, he came out of his Poké Ball to battle, even though Ash had already chosen Pikachu. However, Oshawott promptly changed his mind to battle when he realized that his opponent was a Dewott. He has done this many other times, which shows that Oshawott enjoys battling, but only against opponents he thinks he can win against.

Oshawott acts proud and is a little boastful, but sometimes he can't back it up. He acts a little dramatic when things go wrong, or when he doesn't get his way.

Like Aipom, Oshawott seems to be a bit hyperactive.

Oshawott takes care of his scalchop, as he panics whenever he loses it and when he throws it down in anger, worried that he damaged it. He also gets very angry when someone takes his scalchop, as shown in *Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!*, when Scraggy took his scalchop.

Oshawott is a little flirtatious, as seen in *Emolga the Irresistible!*, where he fell in love with a wild Emolga and in *Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?*, where he fell in love with Misha's Purrloin. He immediately lost his feelings for Purrloin when he learned that he was a male. In *Lost at the Stamp Rally!*, he was enamoured with the dancers at a Pokémon Musical, wandering down to the stage, despite Ash telling him not to. He was briefly in love with a Vanilluxe during *Crisis at Ferroseed Research!*, until she froze him. He also fell for a Meloetta in *All for the Love of Meloetta!*. In the following episode, he was enamoured by Dawn's Buneary, until he found out she liked Pikachu. He would always get very jealous whenever another Pokémon is flirting with a Pokémon he likes, as seen when Meowth fell in love with Purrloin and Dawn's Piplup danced with Meloetta.

Oshawott is shown to be quite gluttonous, occasionally stealing food from friends and strangers. He mostly did this to Pignite, causing a rivalry between the two.

After Team Rocket was defeated, Sparky went up against Dr. Namba's Electabuzz and had trouble with it. However, Sparky destroyed the machine Dr. Namba was using and Ash's Pikachu defeated Electabuzz.

Sparky reappeared in the special *Oaknapped!*, where it tried to stop Butch and Cassidy from getting away with Professor Oak after Ritchie and the others found the location he was kidnapped.

In *The Search for the Legend*, Sparky traveled with Ritchie on the S.S. Anne to a volcanic island. They arrived at Mt. Ember and learned about Moltres residing there.
