Ash's Inteleon

Ash's Inteleon is the 109th pokemon Ash caught and his 109th overall.

## **Personality:**

At first,Sobble wasn't comfortable with its Trainer but when it saw how much Goh cared for it,its feelings changed. Sobble seems to have a huge emotional need for attention,as seen in There's a New Kid in Town!,where it made several Pokemon in the Cerise Park cry. Sobble was only able to calm down after receiving a warm hug from Ash's Dragonite. Sobble has a hard time dealing with strangers,becoming quite uncomfortable when Professor Kukui tried to interact with it. However,it also had no problem in staying with Mallow during Goh and Kiawe's battle. Typical of its species,Sobble is able to blend in with its surroundings,allowing it to hide with ease and take advantage of that to battle opponents. Also typical of its species,Sobble cries a lot,to the point where its cries would cause anyone around it to also cry uncontrollably. It tends to cry so hard it gets wet with its own tears,triggering its camouflage. As seen in *Making Battles in the Sand!*,Sobble might start to cry if hit with a powerful attack,prompting a hasty withdrawal from Goh before its tears start hindering others. After its evolution however,Drizzile's personality changed drastically. Because Sobble believed it would evolve directly into Inteleon and finding itself in an entirely new form,Drizzile became depressed and withdrew,becoming aloof to anything and anyone around it.

## **History:**

### **With Goh:**

Inteleon first appeared as a Sobble at the end of **Toughing It Out**,where it was startled by Ash's training with his newly caught Farfetch'd. Using its ability to blend into its surroundings,Sobble started to steal the food that Ash,Goh and their Pokemon were eating before revealing itself. It attempted to hide in a fountain,only for Goh to blindly throw a Pokeball at it,accidentally catching it. Goh sent Sobble out soon after to battle a Silicobra that he wanted to catch. Sobble tried blending into its surroundings,but Silicobra covered it with sand,causing it to become visible before escaping. This caused Sobble to run away,with Goh unable to recall it. Heading down a river,Sobble ran into Team Rocket and was captured. When Ash and Goh came to its defense,Sobble,seeing how Goh cared for it escaped on its own. At Cerise Park,Ash has his Riolu practice his moves on Pikachu. While his Vacuum Wave misses the mark,Riolu manages to block Pikachu's Iron Tail with a Force Palm. The practice session is interrupted by Goh,with Ash agreeing to help him search for his Sobble. The boys soon get their first clue to Sobble's whereabouts after noticing several of their Pokemon sobbing uncontrollably nearby. Goh is soon overcome with tears,but manages to order his Venomoth and Butterfree use Stun Spore. The paralyzing cloud reveals Sobble is crying up in a tree. As Goh's Scyther is about to confront it,Sobble bursts into tears again. Ash orders Dragonite assist and it swoops in and cradles Sobble to settle it down.

In **Making Battles in the Sand**,Sobble joined in a battle against a wild Flygon in Mauville City. It managed to dissipate Flygon's Sandstorm with Water Gun but when it was hit by Flygon's Dragon Rush and was about to burst into tears,Goh quickly recalled it. Soon after in **Trading Friendship**,they noticed Sobble feels more comfortable with Ash rather than with Goh and he trade it for Ash's Drednaw.

### **With Ash:**

Sobble was brought to the Alola region with him and Goh after the latter learned about an Alolan Exeggutor by Ash. Ash formally introduces Goh to his close friend Professor Kukui,a teacher from the Pokemon School and part of his "Alola family". Kukui turns his attention to Goh's Raboot and the ever-nervous Sobble,adding that it's the first time he has seen them in-person. Stepping inside,Ash's Alola team enthusiastically welcome their trainer and Pikachu back with a group hug. Ash introduces them to Goh and the Pokemon rush over in an equally excited manner. Sobble was held by Lana as they watches Goh's battle against Kiawe. In **Trade,Borrow And Steal**,as Team Rocket orders their Pokemon to attack,Scolipede and Drapion are distracted by a nearby plate of the Kricketina Treat. Meowth resorts to launching a net and he manages to catch Ash,Kricketina,Pikachu,Sobble and Goh's Raboot. Sobble immediately starts crying,causing everyone else to start tearing up as well. In **Up To Your Neck**,Ash and Goh take a walk through the forest,making sure to soak up the sun after several stormy days. They come to a stop when they see a wild Marshtomp stuck in the ground. Goh scans it with his Rotom Phone,learning that Marshtomp require wet conditions to keep their skin from drying out. Acting swiftly,Ash tries to break open the hardened ground with a stick,but this fails. Goh spots a group of Marshtomp watching from afar and suggests having them use Water Gun to free their friend. The other Marshtomp however,are too timid and step backwards as Goh approaches. Ash realizes his Water type Sobble could assist,but it instead panics from the pressure and camouflages itself. In **Detective Sobble On The Case**,Sobble tried solving a crime by himself. While searching for Goh,Ash,Pikachu and Sobble encounter Zacian. Ash tries to scan it with his Rotom Phone,however the Legendary Pokemon isn't registered in the Pokedex database.

In **To Train Or Not To Train**,after arriving at school,the teacher orders Ash and Goh to leave any Pokemon in the school yard to play. As expected,Sobble is overwhelmed by his emotions and starts crying instantly at the thought of being left alone in the school yard with all the other Pokemon. Goh calls out his Cinderace to comfort Sobble,and it quickly finds the task to be daunting. Spying from the bushes,Team Rocket spots an opportunity to steal all of the students’ Pokémon and soon don school student disguises. In **Sobble Spies A Stealthy Streategy**,Ash brought Sobble with him to a movie shooting in Vermilion City,where it immediately took a liking to actress Jacqueline's Inteleon. It wanted to become brave and strong like Inteleon but it proved too cowardly during battle training. Ash came up with a method to use Sobble's cowardice for its advantage by using it as a basis for a hit-and-run strategy. When a film crew member's Gothita was stolen by Team Rocket,Ash and Goh went to rescue it but were caught in a cage,with Sobble being left to deal with Meowth and Wobbuffet by itself. Its new hit-and-run strategy proved useful in combination with its invisibility,until it got covered in chalk dust and was revealed. Despite Ash telling it to run,Sobble managed to muster enough courage to stand and fight,learning U-turn to defeat Meowth and Wobbuffet before helping Ash and Goh to escape the cage. After Team Rocket had been defeated,Jacqueline arrived at the site with the rest of the film crew and congratulated Sobble on its effort,much to its delight.

In **Not Too Close for Comfort**,after saving Oddish from a falling Sitrus Berry,Sobble evolved into Drizzile. However,seeing that it hadn't evolved into Inteleon,it became depressed and retreated into a cave in Cerise Park. When Ash and Goh found it and took it out of the cave,it camouflaged itself and fled. When they eventually found it,Goh told it how he could relate to it,based on his childhood experiences. By the next day,Drizzile had returned to Cerise Park and Ash agreed to let it stay in the cave as long as it wanted to.

Drizzile was practicing its Water Gun at night when it spotted an intruder stealing Cerise Laboratory's information. The next night,along with Ash,it caught the thief Gizmo and his Kecleon. When Ash tried to shield Drizzile from Kecleon,it remembered its time with Ash and evolved into Inteleon. It defeated Kecleon and stopped Gizmo from escaping with its newly learned Snipe Shot. With this evolution,Inteleon rejoined Ash's team.
