### Debut

"*A New Story Begins*"

**Bubbles** (Japanese: **バブル-ちゃん** *Baburu-chan*), usually called her nickname **Dragonet** (Japanese: **したさかん-ちゃん** *Shitasakan-chan*) is a supporting Pokémon character in the present-day sagas of *Tales of Harmony*. She always remains outside of her Poké Ball.

## Bio

### Appearance

Dragonet is a Ninja Dragonet with a pink head and face, red eyes, and a colbalt blue main body with orange and cyan stripes. Her fins (except her transparent pectoral fins) are half orange and half purple and have pale sea green spots. In her powerup mode, her skin noticeably darkens and she carries a big version of her Mucus Shuriken on her back.

In her human form, she appears as a 14 year-old girl who keeps her red eyes but has pink hair worn in pigtails combined with loops. She is shown to wear a pink frilly top with a sky blue skirt that has a white "apron," pale pink shoes with bows on them and bubblegum pink frilly socks along with pale blue stockings, and pale pink armwarmers. Her gem, shaped like a heart, is on her chest.

### Personality

Unlike other series and unlike her canceled origin fanseries, Dragonet is very nice and helpful, being caring and gentle similar to Molly. Just like her Trainer, she is very friendly and will try to help somecreature in any way possible, although she can sometimes be a bit stubborn. Though they are similar in personality, she tends to be more level-headed and down-to-earth than her and is far less dense, and while she loves her Trainer dearly and more than anything else, she is often frustrated whenever she acts too overprotective of her and is often unamused whenever she comically cries or acts childish. She also enjoys eating and can sometimes be quite gluttonous.

Despite her normally being friendly and caring, she *can* occasionally lose her temper if pushed too far, as shown when she runs off humiliated in tears so she can give birth in peace without excessive interference or coddling, or when she angrily confronts Behaver and calls her out for being too overprotective and not considering her feelings. She always stays outside her Poké Ball and refuses to go in because she wants to always be with Elizabeth - even though *all* of her Pokémon stay outside their Poké Balls anyways.

In the JTTDOH saga, however, after the villains start going after her Trainer for her soul, due to her fear of them suceeding, Dragonet starts frequently having terrifying nightmares all involving her Trainer getting her soul stolen in various scenarios, resulting in her being chronically sleep-deprived due to usually waking up in the middle of the night screaming and not being able to go back to sleep. Because of her chronic sleep deprivation combined with her constant stress from worrying, she becomes much more irritable and cranky and has a much shorter temper, and says "I love you" to her much more often. However, it is very clear that her fear and nightmares are because she loves her trainer and doesn't want to lose her. Luckily, she calms down back to her usual personality after Queen Vera gives up on trying to steal her soul.

Due to her being on Homura's side of the saga's safety-versus-freedom conflict instead of her trainer's, she and her trainer also have quite a strained relationship during the saga.

### Relationships

* **Elizabeth Storybook**: Her best friend.

## Skills

As a Ninja Dragonet, Dragonet has the ability to be able to learn any Pokémon move, though she still has to put effort into learning it like any other Pokémon. She is also able to breathe outside of water indefinitely due to a thin layer of mucus coating her skin that keeps it moist and allows her to breathe through it, but since she is a fish and has gills, she can also obviously swim and breathe underwater.

She is also a rare magic-infused Pokémon, and her specialty is love magic. Her main spell, Warm Love Hug, lets her calm somecreature down and warm them up by hugging or making contact with them.

Due to her Trainer's wish for her and her other Pokémon to never permanently leave her, she is in perfect health (except for status conditions or damage in Pokémon battles) and is always at her physical prime so she doesn't grow old and die. If she gets sick or seriously injured, she is garunteed to recover, and due to this wish, she is by extension immune to being killed by external means - for example, when Queen Vera attempts to take her, Bubblebath's, Bluey's, and Casty's souls, the blasts bounce off them and fail to take their souls. In the rewritten timeline, while Elizabeth's wish is still made, she and her daughters and the other Pokémon are granted semi-immortality anyways just like all Chosen Ones' Pokémon.

The only loophole in this wish is that it does not apply if circumstances happen to both her and her Trainer at the same time, such as when Ghetsis steals everycreature's souls except for Nova, Ha-chan, and the Sekai Heroes, and they both fade away because it was at the same time, or in TBL where the Light of Hope protected her, her Trainer, and her partymates from having their souls stolen by the AoTA by encasing them in indestructible crystal but put them into enchanted comas and eventually ended their lives (though they awaken in the rewritten timeline).

### Moves Used

* Return\*
* Mucus Shuriken

## Profile

***Bubbles** loves a lot of things. Her Trainer, her daughters, her friends, cashew butter, swimming in the WPAP... No matter how evil you are, though, or how disgusting something tastes, there's one word that will never, ever be in her vocabulary: "Hate."*

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* Despite her having multiple colors, her soul is pink with the center being blue.
* Unlike other series, she was never experimented on or injected with a serum, meaning she does not have PTSD and is not rude and short-tempered. She still was adopted from the Ninja Dragonet shelter, however, but instead ended up there because her old Trainer was arrested for Pokémon cruelty and had their Trainers' License revoked for secretly abusing their other Pokémon (but not her), and was forced to release or surrender all their Pokémon.
* It is confirmed that her birthday is August 30th, 2015, and that she was adopted a week before the Kanto saga's first episode. Her Pokémon-mates, however, aren't caught until later on.
* She technically fullfills the series's nickname requirement for Pokémon - in the English dub, by simply dropping the first word of her species name, or in the original Japanese version, by simply adding "-chan" to her species name, making her nickname the least different from her species name out of all the Magis' Pokémon. However, this is actually a subversion, as her real name is Baburu-chan/Bubbles, and Shitasakan-chan/Dragonet is her nickname for that.
* Before Lillie regains the ability to touch Pokémon, her spell Warm Love Hug doesn't work on her and instead still causes her to freeze up in terror.
* Much like Thunders, other than the adaptation of the movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back" when she gets sucked into a Clone Ball, she has not gone into her Poké Ball even one single time in the entire series. In the adaptation of "A Friendly Factory Fiasco!", however, Meowth *tries* to recall her and Thunders into their Poké Balls, but they manage to dodge the beams. In the adaptation of "Revealing the Stuff of Legend!", the two of them (obviously not counting her daughters who don't have Poké Balls) are also the only ones exempt from Kiawe telling everyone to recall their Pokémon and ride on their transformed Trainers' shoulders.
* Unlike other Pokémon who can use magic, she doesn't have a Harmonic Watch because a watch wouldn't go well with fins. Instead, her Trainer wears it.
* Similar to Molly, due to her emphasis on platonic love, she is confirmed to be aromantic.
