Ash's Primeape

**Primeape** returns to Pokémon Reset Bloodlines as one of Ash's Pokémon, only this time he remains with Ash after being captured, rather than being left with Anthony for training. Primeape has quite the mouth on him, often breaking into obscene profanity when he gets angry.

## History

### Battle Dome Tournament Arc

Primeape runs into Paul in the scrublands outside Celadon City. He battles the trainer and his Pikachu, who ends up launching him into the sky and very far away. Primeape barely survives the landing, but was soon noticed by an Arbok that planned to make him its next meal. Sabrina arrived at that time and nursed Primeape back to full health. Once his recovery was complete, his chaingin the Fighting-type to a wall in her gym telling him that he would be good bait for an "Ash Ketchum."

### Sabrina Arc

Primeape remained in chains until a Raichu appears before him. Recognizing the Raichu as the the Pikachu that had nearly killed him, he accused her of working with the crazy woman who has him imprisoned. Upon her asking him what happens to him, he told him the story of what occurred since their battle. When he mentioned that Sabrina told him he would be bait for Ash, Raichu interrupted him, saying that the boy was there, and had sent her to save him. Not believing a random boy would brave the fortress to save him, he asked who this "Ash Ketchum" really was. Raichu explained that he was her own savior and very kind, and explained asked Primeape to allow himself to be captured in a Timer Ball she had with her. Primeape chose to believe her and allowed his capture upon which he was teleported back to Professor Oak's lab.

The next day, Ash switched Primeape into his active party so that he could attempt to remind the Fighting-type of The Old Timeline, which was fortunately successful.

### Cinnabar Arc

Primeape was Ash's lead in his battle against Blaine, where he was matched against the Gym Leader's Magcargo. When the Magcargo was shown not to be a Yawn user, Primeape was switched out to avoid getting inflicted by a Burn. He was then brought out again against Blaine's Rapidash. The battle between the two was close but Primeape proved the victor in the match up, but he was quickly taken out by the Mega Houndoom Blaine brought out next.

### Indigo Training Arc

Primeape accompanied Ash, Misty and Anabel to the hills surrounding Pallet Town where they did some training, during which the Fighting-type mastered Throat Chop. He also was one of the participants in the battle against Zapdos, who attacked them during a break in their training.

### Mewtwo Arc

Primeape was one of the Pokémon cloned by Mewtwo when Ash and company visited New Island.

### Indigo Arc

Primeape was used in the fifth round of the Indigo League Conference, against Kaia. He was brought out to open the battle against Kaia's Kadabra, and while he was able to put up a decent fight was unable to beat the Psychic-type so was switched out for Pikachu before he fainted. Primeape returned in the battle against Kaia's Arcanine after Pidgeot fell to the canine. Primeape was eventually able to defeat Arcanine coming out on top and winning the battle for Ash.

Primeape was one of the Pokémon that Ash brought to battle against Dan in the quarter final match. He first came out when a Roar attack from Dan's Granbull forced Ambipom to be swapped out. Due to his confusion of being brought out unintentionally, Primeape was quickly defeated by the Fairy-type.
