When film producer Cleavon Schpielbunk wanted to cast a movie with only Pokemon in EP027, Slowpoke ended getting the part.

In EP050, Nikki's Slowpoke seemed to have gotten separated from the group. Later on, a girl named Kayla arrived with a lost Slowpoke.

When Alex showed his friends how he just bought a very rare Pokemon from Salesman, they couldn't hold back the laughter. In that moment, Alex realized that he was tricked. Later in the episode, Alex had no choice, but to use him in the Gym battle against Lily as his only left Pokemon. To the surprise of all, Alex's Magikarp defeated Lily's Seel with Hydro Pump, which brings Alex his second Badge.

In EP007, after Cerulean Cape Tournament, Lily was still impressed with Alex's Magikarp. She says it has a lot of natural talent, and offers to train it for Alex.

Alex challenged Gregory to a battle, hoping to acquire his third Badge. However, Gregory's Pikachu proved to be much more powerful, and it easily defeated Alex's Charmander.

After doing some training, Alex and Charmander returned to the Gym. During the battle, Alex's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, which gave it advantage, allowing Alex to win the match.
Charlotte

**Charlotte** is a Character of the day who appeared in EP049.

When the Pokemon were tricking Team Rocket into thinking they could talk, Clefable sat out. When Charlotte finally gained Clefable's trust, it hugged her and distracted Team Rocket by "talking".

Nikki's Horsea

**Nikki's Horsea** was Nikki's second caught Pokemon in Kanto.

## History

Horsea first appeared in EP003, where Nikki caught it in Viridian Forest.

Nikki uses Horsea often as one of her main battling Pokemon throughout most of the series.

Horsea was first used in EP007 in Cerulean Cape Tournament. It defeats Alex's Magikarp in the semifinals, but was defeated in the finals by Harry's Wartortle.

It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking S.S. Anne in EP011, carrying Salvadore from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of raging Gyarados.

Horsea next appeared in EP026, where it swam in a fountain at the David's brothers Evolution party. The guests’ Pokemon including Horsea were captured by Team Rocket. Using its ability to spray ink, Horsea left a trail on the ground, allowing Alex and the others to quickly locate Team Rocket. Horsea later sprayed ink at Cassidy to distract her, helping David recover his stolen Growlithe.

Nikki auditioned Horsea for a part in a movie in EP027. Horsea did get a part, however, by helping provide the rain effects for the final scene.

In EP050, it was used in battle against Kayla, where it lost to Kayla's Seel, before Nikki's Slowpoke took over and won.
Butch's Fearow

**Butch's Fearow** was the first Pokemon Butch was known to have.

## History

It was used constantly by Butch as his main battling Pokemon throughout Kanto. It eventually evolved into a Fearow in EP047, along with Rattata, after Butch and Cassidy were desperate for them to evolve.
Elite Four

The **Elite Four** are four Pokemon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokemon League, just short of the Pokemon League Champion.

In the anime, Alex and his friends infrequently meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies.

In Kanto, Alex has met only one Elite Four member:

* Bruno appeared in EP035
Character of the day

A **Character of the day** is a fan-made term given to a human, and sometimes Pokemon, character in the Pokemon Champions anime. This character appears in only one episode and is relatively unimportant to the series. Note that Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, or other similar characters are not considered as characters of the day, even if they had appeared in one episode only.
Sayda Island

**Sayda Island** is a location in Kanto. It is home to Sayda Lab.

Sayda Island is a heavily forested area, with a rocky, mountainous portion that is notable for being where Professor Oak found the Fossilized Aerodactyl Egg. This Egg, along with a sample of Old Amber, was used by Professor Oak and Crystal's sister, Dora, to revive an Aerodactyl, which broke free of the lab.

Sayda Island also has fruit trees, the fruit of which Aerodactyl has been depicted to enjoy eating.
Pokedex

The **Pokedex** is a digital encyclopedia created by Professor Oak as an invaluable tool to Trainers in the Pokemon world. It gives information about all Pokémon in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy.
Tangelo Island

**Tangelo Island** is located in the southwestern region of the Orange Archipelago. It is a popular tourist destination due in part to its tropical climate. Young Trainers from the region typically begin their journeys here. Professor Ivy's Lab is located nearby.

Alex, Nikki, Salvadore and Professor Oak visited the island in EP046. They crash landed in Pokemon Park, at first believing the island to be deserted. Once out of the park, they explored the nearby beachfront city. It has boardwalks and a port with many docks for tourist boats and luxury cruise liners. Palm trees line the streets, dwarfed by all the tall buildings. There they met a Pokemon Trainer named Kate.
Salvadore

**Salvadore** is an aspiring Pokemon watcher from Pewter City and a travelling partner of Alex. He is also the former Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

## In the anime

In EP004, after Alex defeated him in Gym battle, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Salvadore free to journey with Alex and Nikki.

Salvadore only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Alex that it was his dream to become a great Pokemon watcher, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Salvadore was allowed to start following this dream.
Gym

A **Gym** is a place where Pokemon Trainers go to train their Pokemon. Pokemon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their battling skills and where their Pokemon can go to gain experience.

Often specializing in a particular type, Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokemon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the Gym Leader.

Official Gyms are certified by a Pokemon League, and at least eight official Gym Badges are requested before taking the Pokemon League challenge. Gyms are vital to a Pokemon Trainer's journey; they may have to travel far and wide, as there can only be one Gym per city.
Lugia (anime)

**Lugia** is a Legendary Pokemon that Alex has sighted on his journey.

## In the anime

Alex first saw Lugia in EP004. It appeared in Pewter City after Alex's loss in Pewter Gym. He was thinking about wheter Harry was right. Maybe he is not destined to be a Pokemon Master. At that moment he saw Lugia fly in the sky. His Pokedex could not identify it and explained that many Pokemon were still unknown.

Stone Town

**Stone Town** is a small village in Kanto.

In the anime, Stone Town is located in between the Safari Zone and Cinnabar Island, at the foot of Evolution Mountain. It appeared in EP026.

The one part of Stone Town that sets it apart from other places is the fact that it is a popular place to evolve Pokemon with stones. When Alex and his friends arrived in Stone Town, they came across a party where Trainers from all around were evolving their Pokemon. The party was actually meant for David, the youngest of the brothers, who had yet to evolve his Growlithe. In the end, he decided to keep it the way it was, and the brothers eventually decided it was okay for him to do that.

David's older brothers also tried to convince Salvadore evolve his Shellder. He declined, saying he couldn't force his Pokemon to evolve.
Kayla

**Kayla** is a Water Pokemon Trainer and a rival of Nikki.

## In the anime

Kayla lives in the Orange Islands. She, like Nikki, is a Water-type Pokemon Trainer. It first appeared in EP050, where she rescued Nikki's Slowpoke after he wandered off. Realizing that they are both Water Pokemon Trainers, the two decided to have a battle to determine who is better Water Trainer.

In the battle, Nikki's Horsea lost to Kayla's Seel, but her Slowpoke evened the odds. Kayla then used her Staryu, which proved to be much more powerful than Nikki's Horsea.

With Horsea having fainted, Nikki decided to use Slowpoke. After the group defeated Team Rocket, which interrupted the battle and rescued Kayla's Staryu from them, Nikki and Kayla continued with their battle, with Kayla winning in the end. Little upset by her loss, Nikki congratulates Kayla, saying that she was better Trainer this time. That evening, as the group bids farewell to Kayla, Nikki tells her that she wants a rematch one day.
EP008

## Summary

Alex and his friends are walking towards Vermilion City. Nikki said that she hopes this is the right way. They pause for a rest, and Nikki sees an Staryu. Alex checks Staryu's data on Pokedex. Nikki sends her Horsea to fight the Staryu so she can catch it. Staryu is defeated by Bubbles.

At that moment, girl named Melanie appears. She stops Nikki, telling her that Staryu is her Pokemon. Nikki apologized, saying that she didn't know. Melanie takes them to a village.

Alex and Nikki notice the large number of Pokemon in the village and wonder if they belong to Melanie. Melanie explains that the Hidden Village is a place for abandoned or injured Pokemon to come to rest and relax. She cares for them until they are better, and then they leave. She also collects plants to use for medicine, though she says that she is unqualified to be a Pokemon doctor. Meanwhile, Butch and Cassidy try to cross the remains of the bridge, but it collapses underneath them and they fall into the river rapids.

Salvadore promises Melanie that they will not try to catch any of the Pokemon in the village. Despite her earlier attempt to catch Staryu, Nikki concurs. Salvadore and Alex tend to an Oddish, while Nikki apologizes to Staryu.

Suddenly, Team Rocket appears from behind a cloud, standing on a balloon-lifted platform, and recite their motto. They land in a clearing outside the village, and try to collect all the Pokemon in the village with a massive vacuum. As Salvadore herds everyone into the cabin, Staryu gets caught in the suction. Nikki's Horsea rescues Staryu with its Bubbles, and Alex instructs his Charmander to use Brick Break that tosses Team Rocket and their platform into the distance.

Salvadore offers to stay and help, but Melanie refuses, telling him to continue on his adventures. The trio wave goodbye to Melanie as they continue their journey towards Vermilion City.

Fuchsia City

Alex, Nikki and Salvadore arrived in Fuchsia City in EP020, where they met up with Pam again. Like Alex, Pam was in the city to challenge the Fuchsia Gym. Her battle against the Gym Leader Aya ended in a victory for her and she earned the Soul Badge. Even after winning, Pam remained in the city to watch Alex's Gym battle, which took place in the following episode. During the match, Alex was focusing too much on besting Pam and this affected his judgment. As a result, he lost in front of his rival.

In EP022, Alex re-challenged Aya. Alex knew Aya's Venonat was even stronger after evolving into Venomoth, but he somehow managed to defeat Aya and get his sixth Badge in the Kanto region.
EP001

## Summary

8 years have passed since Ash Ketchum started his Pokemon Journey. Now, 8 years later, 10-year old Alex Smith is ready to begin his Pokemon Journey. Alex wakes up in his bed, realizing that he's late. He quickly dressed and was ready to go to the Professor Oak's Laboratory. Before he left, his grandpa Chris told him the story about how he saw legendary Mew on his Pokemon Journey, when he was younger. He later told people about it, but no one wanted to believe him.

Alex ran out of the house and ran to the Professor Oak's Lab. Alex apologizes for being late. Taken into the lab, Alex sees only one Poke Ball sitting on a pedastal. Oak explains that two Pokemons were already been claimed by a Trainers who were on time. Alex picks it up, upon which point it opens and from it emerges a small reptilian Pokemon with orange body. Oak explains that the Pokemon is named Charmander. Alex is very impressed, deciding that Charmander is better that any of the other starters. Oak gives Alex 6 Poke Balls and Pokedex. Alex checks Charmander's data on his Pokedex.

Heading outside, Alex finds his grandpa ready to wish him luck as he heads out on his Pokemon Journey. Alex's grandpa gets weepy at the thought of his grandson finally leaving to start his life as a trainer. Alex says goodbye to Professor Oak and Chris.

Alex begins his long journey, walking through the Route 1. In that moment, Alex sees a fellow boy looking at him. Alex recognized him as Harry. Harry advised Alex to return home and give up on his dreams, saying that the Pokemon world is to dangerous for losers like him. Very alarmed by this, Alex yells at Harry for Pokemon Battle between them. Amused, Harry accepts Alex's challenge and sends his Squirtle in battle. Alex checks Squirtle's data on his Pokedex. Alex decides to use his Charmander. The battle started. Charmander uses Skull Bash but is defeated by Squirtle's Bubble Beam. This greatly shocks Alex, as he seems to not be able to believe the sight that has happened before his eyes. Squirtle is then recalled back to Harry, who is quite reserved of the fight he just won. Harry called Alex a loser and then went. Alex is frustrated by his battle with Harry, now forced to become stronger.

After the fire was put out, Erika gave Alex the Rainbow Badge.
EP039

## Summary

As Alex's Poliwag defeats Trainer's Vulpix in the third round with Bubble, it is revealed that Pam lost her third round match. Pam starts to cry because of her loss, while her opponent is jumping for joy because of his victory.

Nikki later arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Alex's absence while Salvadore takes care of Alex's Pokemon. She criticizes his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Alex, who is in midst of searching for a place to eat. Alex soon locates a restaurant, where he and Nikki indulge.

Afterwards, Alex and his friends search for a Pokemon Center so Alex can heal his Pokemon before the fourth round, but they find the Centers are all crowded. Noticing this, Team Rocket decides to use this opportunity to swipe Alex's Pokémon by opening a fake Pokemon Center. Butch, disguised in a nurse outfit with a face-mask, lures them into the auspicious building, where Alex submits his Pokemon for healing.

While Alex and his friends are talking, they mention a few keywords that trigger Team Rocket to recite their motto and reveal themselves. As a result, Team Rocket is forced to destroy the fake Center and flee in their balloon. Salvadore's Geodude stops them and retrieves Alex's Pokemon. After biting a hole into their balloon, Geodude sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards, the group hears that new Pokemon can now be admitted into the Pokemon Center. Alex takes this opportunity to heal his Pokemon.

Later on, Alex is now in the middle of the fourth round match with Nicole, and both Trainers are each down one Pokemon. Alex uses Snorlax for the battle, while Nicole uses Lickitung for the battle. Alex checks Lickitung's data on his Pokedex. Nicole orders Lickitung to dodge Snorlax's Hyper Beam and use Tackle, hitting Snorlax. While Alex fears that Snorlax will be exhausted, Nikki and Salvadore encourage him to keep going. Snorlax keeps attacking Lickitung with Hyper Beam until it finally manages to hit it, knocking it out.

Nicole recalls Lickitung and sends out Electabuzz. Snorlax tries an Ice Punch attack, but Nicole's Electabuzz dodges it and uses Thunder, which hit Snorlax. With Alex's plea, Snorlax tries to stand up, but unsuccessfully. Alex recalls Snorlax and sends Charizard onto the battlefield. Charizard narrowly evades Electabuzz's Brick Break attacks. Electabuzz uses Brick Break again, but Charizard dodges and uses Flamethrower, defeating Electabuzz.

## Summary

As Alex, Nikki, and Salvadore are about to reach the Safari Zone, Alex happily sings about it. Salvadore asks Alex to stop singing, but Alex ignores him. Nikki sing along, and Salvadore gives in and decides to sing as well. Just then, a man approaches from a nearby building and abruptly demands that they keep quiet. When Alex asks what the man's problem is, the man pulls out a firearm and asks whether he wants to get shot. The group hastily apologizes and the man relents, then introduces himself as Kaiser, the Safari Zone warden.

Inside the warden's office, Kaiser shows the group a basket of Safari Balls and a fishing rod. Alex is delighted and reaches out eagerly for them, but Kaiser pulls his gun out and explains the rules of the Safari Zone: all that is permitted to be used are the Safari Balls and the fishing rod. If they break the rules, his gun, nicknamed Thunderbolt, will burn them.

Later, Alex, Nikki, and Salvadore are about to enter the Safari Zone, Safari Balls and fishing rods in hand. They are confronted by Pam, who proposes a challenge to Alex: who catches more Pokemon he wins. Alex accepts the challenge, confident that he will win.

The first Pokémon that Alex and his friends see is a Tangela. Alex catches it easily with a Safari Ball. The group then hides behind bushes while Pam observes a Chansey. Pam throws a Safari Ball and succesfully catches it.

Meanwhile, Nikki shows off her lure case to the group. She takes out one and throws it into the lake. Soon after, she gets a bite from a Slowpoke, and catches it with a Safari Ball. Later, Pam asks whether Alex has caught any Pokemon. Alex answers that he catches one Pokemon just like Pam, so result is draw.

Back at the warden's office, Alex and his friends bid farewell to Kaiser, watching over him.

Salvadore's Shellder

**Salvadore's Shellder** was the fourth Pokemon acquired by Salvadore in the anime.

## History

Shellder debuted in EP019, where it was injured and Nurse Joy was supposed to deliver medicine for it over in Sunnytown, but was unable to leave the Pokemon Center because of other commitments. She gave Alex and his friends the medicine as they volunteered to deliver it to Sunnytown. After dealing with a bike gang, the group successfully arrived in Sunnytown. The Nurse Joy there fed it to a Shellder, and it became well. After that, Shellder decides to follow Salvadore and joins his team.

Later the group met the David and his brothers in EP026 who were throwing an evolution party for their younger brother David to evolve his Growlithe. Harold of the Brothers offered Salvadore a Water Stone to evolve Shellder, to which Salvadore declined, stating that he didn't want to force Shellder to evolve if it didn't want to.

Shellder auditioned for the lead role in Cleavon Schpielbunk's film, in EP027. However, it abandoned the stage once it became apparent that Cleavon Schpielbunk was impossibly picky.
Indigo Plateau

**Indigo Plateau** first appeared at the end of EP036, after Alex and his friends left for the Indigo Plateau Conference. In the following episode, Alex and the others helped to run the flame to Indigo Stadium, and they officially reached Indigo Plateau. They stayed there until the end of the tournament in EP042.

Kid's Day was represented in the anime in EP031.
EP024

## Summary

Alex, Nikki and Salvadore are on their way to Cinnabar Island. Along the way, Alex tries to catch a Pidgey, but fails. The group then spots a sign advertising an unofficial Gym that claims to house the Kanto's most powerful Pokemon. The Gym Leader has a record of 99 wins to zero losses. As Alex and his friends arrives, a Trainer rushes his way out, proclaiming that the Pokemon is too strong, making Alex's desire to defeat the Gym grow. As they enter, they saw Pam challenging a Trainer named Rick. Rick explains the rules of the match, both trainers can use only one Pokemon.

Pam decides to use her Cubone against Rick's Graveler. Alex checks Cubone and Graveler's data on his Pokedex. Graveler approaches with Tackle and Cubone dodges it. Rick then tells Graveler to use Double-Edge which knocks Cubone out. Cubone is left pretty knocked up, so Alex and his friends along with Pam rush off to get it treated at the local Pokemon Center.

At the Pokemon Center, as they are waiting for Pam's Cubone to heal, Salvadore tells Alex that he must find a really good strategy to win against Rick's Graveler. Nurse Joy then enters the room, revealing that she has a battle item X Speed that could help Alex win against Rick. At this, Alex is extremely happy.

The next day, Alex returns with confidence to the Gym. Rick is also confident after his last easy victory. Alex decides to use his Charmeleon against Rick's Graveler. The battle begins, and Alex tells Charmeleon to stick to their planned strategy. Rick's Graveler uses Double-Edge, but Alex orders Charmeleon to dodge Graveler's heavy attacks, causing Graveler to give itself recoil damage from Double-Edge. Repeated Double-Edge attempts from Graveler all miss completely, as Charmeleon is simply too fast due to X-Speed that Alex received from Nurse Joy.

Rick orders Tackle, but Charmeleon dodges. Alex orders a Brick Break, to which Rick responded by ordering a Double-Edge. The quicker Charmeleon manages to strike first, slamming into Graveler's stomach, knocking it out and winning the match. Afterwards, as Rick now has 100 wins, he ultimately decides to close his Gym down and plans to begin earning Badges. Like Alex, he too wants to be the world's greatest Pokemon Master. They part as friendly rivals, agreeing to meet in the future at the Pokemon League.

S.S. Anne

The **S.S. Anne** appeared in EP011 and EP012.

Alex, Nikki and Salvadore boarded the ship, after masked Butch and Cassidy offered them free tickets. This was part of a Team Rocket plot to steal the Pokemon of all Trainers on board. However, Alex and his friends enjoyed the S.S. Anne, which provided large amounts of food for people on board and allowed Pokemon battles below deck. While on board, Alex traded his Squirtle to a Trevor for a Machop.

Out on the open ocean, Team Rocket, including Butch and Cassidy, and a number of Team Rocket Grunts began taking the Pokrmon of everyone else on board the S.S. Anne by force. Alex led a counterattack against the Rockets, leading to a large battle and many of the members of Team Rocket being blasted off through the side of the ship.

Afterwards, the S.S. Anne started taking on water, and the passengers had to be evacuated. Alex delayed the evacuation to trade back the Machop for his Squirtle, but the moment Alex obtained Squirtle's Poke Ball, the ship jerked and the Poke Ball bounces out of his hand. When Alex went back to go get his Poke Ball, the ship jerked once more and knocked out Alex, his friends, and the Team Rocket duo. When they awoke, the S.S. Anne was upside down and underwater, balancing on a seamount.

The two groups fought at first, but Nikki took charge and began directing all of them in an emergency escape plan before the ship fell into the depths of the sea floor. They made their way through the ship to this point, and then Ash ordered his Charmeleon to burn a hole in the hull. With the help of Squirtle and Horsea, Alex and his friends were able to swim to safety, while Team Rocket nearly drowned.

Once everyone was off-board, the S.S. Anne's balance tilted, and it fell off the seamount, down towards the abyss, never to be seen again.

Arcanine was Sean's third Pokemon, which he used during his battle against Alex. It proved to be quite strong, being able to easily dodge Wartortle's Water Gun, bitting Wartortle and slamming it around until it was defeated.

Alex next chose to use Tangela, which attempted to use its Vine Whip attack on Arcanine. After dodging Tangela's Vine Whip, Tangela tried to use Constrict, but Arcanine dodges again. Soon after, Arcanine bites Tangela, slamming it to the floor and defeating it.

Alex then choses Poliwag as his third Pokemon. Poliwag proved to be worthy opponent for Arcanine, as it easily dodges Arcanine's attacks. Arcanine then uses Take Down and Poliwag counters with Double Slap. After the dust clears, both Pokemon emerge standing. They both smirk at each other before collapsing on the battlefield.

Samuel Oak, one of the most renowned Pokemon Researchers, started off his journey as a pseudo-Trainer/Watcher. Collecting Pokemon for battling but also sketching them.

Oak gave them each a Starter Pokemon, including giving Harry his Squirtle. Later that same day, Alex came to him as he was also starting his Pokemon journey and needed his first Pokemon as well. But because he was so late, the only Pokemon Oak had left was a Charmander.

Over the course of Alex and Harry's journeys, Professor Oak took care of the Pokemon they captured that were sent to his lab. He would often gloat about how much farther ahead Harry was to Alex like in EP016, which often caused Alex to be extra competitive.

In EP030, Professor Oak worked on Sayda Island with Dora. There, he revived an Aerodactyl from an Old Amber. At first the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island, but they soon gained its trust after feeding it with some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat.

During the Indigo Plateau Conference, Professor Oak became greatly disappointed when he discovered that Harry had lost in the quarterfinals, but decided to look on the bright side, telling Nikki and Salvadore that this loss might do Harry good. He had arrived with Alex's grandfather with the goal of cheering Alex on in mind.

### Orange Islands Journeys

Alex, Nikki, and Salvadore sent out Tangela, Horsea, and Geodude respectively to battle the giant Rhydon but didn't succeed. Alex fell from the cliff and Rhydon was about to attack him, but Bruno appeared and saved Alex from the attack. He was ready to catch Rhydon. When Alex and the others asked what Pokemon he was going to use, Bruno shocked them by explaining that he wasn't going to use any Pokemon.

Bruno jumped down to find out why Rhydon was violent. Bruno avoided the hits thrown by Rhydon. After a while, Bruno found the reason why Rhydon was on a rampage: a thorn had been stuck in its skin, which was hurting it. After Bruno removed the thorn, Rhydon became very thankful for him and accepted to join his team, so Bruno threw a Poke Ball at Rhydon and captured it.
