Bubbles (Dragonet)

**Dragonet** (Japanese: *Shitasakan-chan*) is one of Nijiko's Pokémon in Pokémon Legends. Her real name is **Bubbles** (Japanese: *Baburu-chan*), but Dragonet is her nickname. She was taken in by Nijiko after she needed a permanent home due to Ninja Dragonets' domesticated status, and is one of her two signature Pokémon.

## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Fukuen Misato (Japanese)Leslie Cararra-Rudolph (English)

## Appearance

She has a pink head and face with a colbalt blue main body that has swirly orange and cyan stripes, and purple and orange fins as well as red eyes. As her powered-up form Ash-Dragonet, she gains the same black cheeks as Ash-Greninja as well as a big green shuriken on her back.

Despite having several colors on her, it is mentioned her favorite color is blue, and most of her stuff such as her toys and food dish is blue. Thus, her signature color is considered to be blue (and also since her main body is also blue).

## Personality

Dragonet tends to be rude, snarky, short-tempered, anxious, and irritable. Despite her being a huge jerk, however, she truly cares about her friends and is willing to help people in need. She is also quite useful when the heroes need to locate/find something underwater since Ninja Dragonets can survive on both land and water, such as when Nijiko and Fubuki sent her and Pumpkin Bread down to the sunken ship along with Nanette's Popplio Jessica to try and find an exit.

However, she also greatly enjoys relaxing. During the Alola (where Nijiko, her Pokémon, and Haruna are from and live when not traveling) arc, she is often seen transformed into a Tsareena lounging in the sun and enjoying being at home for once. She commonly acts as the "only sane woman" when the others of the group act stupid or clueless, contrasting with Nijiko's near-perpetual cheerfulness and niceness and Rotom's whiny, childish personality.

## Moves used

* Mucus Shuriken
* Shadow Ball
* Thunderbolt
* Sing
* Transform

## Magical abilities

She has standard Pokémon abilities as well as the standard abilities of her species (extendible shadow hands for grabbing things from afar, mucus/water blades, ability to learn every move that does not require legs, Psychic-type immunity, etc.) but her powered-up form grants her enhanced super strength, speed, etc as well as the ability to talk to Nijiko from afar (due to the point of view sharing) and share each other's point of view (and pain). She also gains enhanced senses like hearing. However, once she uses the move Return, she will have 5 minutes before de-transforming and will need to eat to transform again, and if she pushes herself too hard, both her and Nijiko can pass out.

Unlike the Greninja owned by canon character Ash Ketchum, however, she has no ability to sense abnormal/evil/negative energy at all and besides Return, can only use her giant version of Ninja Dragonets' signature attack Mucus Shuriken once while transformed before it starts the 5-minute countdown, so she must use it wisely.

## Relationships

* Niijiko: She loves Nijiko dearly and she is also the only human she feels comfortable being touched or hugged by. They also have a lot in common such as sometimes being rude jerks, being reckless when they try to help somebody, and loving the color blue.

## Trivia

* She is the only Ninja Dragonet who is (partially) addressed by her species name instead of a nickname like real-world pets, although her real name is Bubbles. In the English dub, she is referred to as "Dragonet," a clipping of "Ninja Dragonet," while in the original she simply adds "-chan" to her species name (Shitasakan).

* If she uses Return as Ash-Dragonet, it starts a 5-minute countdown before she detransforms and both she and Nijiko will have to eat for her to transform again. This also applies to Mucus Shuriken.
* Her transformation sequence in the canon version is extremely similar to Rena Rouge's transformation sequence, while in the fanon version it is extremely similar to Sailor Moon's "Moon Cosmic Power" transformation.
* In season 10 starring the main cast's children, she remains the same age due to the immortality/eternal youth serum but is now Nijiko's pet full-time like Joanna's Glameow or like a retired athlete and helps her in the patisserie along with her other Pokémon such as Rotom, Casty, Frothy, Static and Bluey, but is still perfectly capable of kicking not-so-nice people's behinds if necessary. She also tells Nijiko's daughter the reason her mother and her 3 friends haven't aged past their mid-20s and their Pokémon haven't really aged either is because they are in constant contact with her (holding her, etc, since frequent contact with her skin will start to cause the effect as long as it is frequent, while her babies drinking her milk even once makes it permanent).
