Ash's Leavanny: Difference between revisions

Swadloon first appeared as a Sewaddle while {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} were in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. He randomly attacked [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash tried to catch him but was not successful since Sewaddle ran away. He later reappeared and knocked Ash to the ground when the trio met [[Burgh]], the Gym Leader of the [[Castelia Gym]], who revealed that he was accompanying Sewaddle through the forest even though he was not his Pokémon. When Ash and his friends tried to say hello to Sewaddle by using the two sensory knobs on the top of his head, he {{m|Tackle}}d Ash, while he kindly said hello to {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Burgh. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Burgh then followed Sewaddle throughout the forest, watching he was eating as well as his sleeping habits.  

When Sewaddle started eating some fruit, two {{p|Woobat}} started to attack him. Ash protected Sewaddle from an {{m|Air Slash}} attack. Pikachu and Sewaddle then scared off the Woobat. Sewaddle then offered Ash some fruit, showing that he was slowly beginning to like him. Later that night, Sewaddle even went into Ash's sleeping bag with him. The next day, a {{p|Patrat}} kidnapped Sewaddle in order to heal its sick friend, as a leaf from a Sewaddle has healing properties. However, Sewaddle got away, just to get stuck on a {{p|Deerling}}'s neck and to get thrown over a cliff into a river with Ash diving in to save him. Burgh then used his {{p|Leavanny}} to save both Sewaddle and Ash from going over a waterfall. Sewaddle was very thankful but his "clothes" got messed up during the fall, but Burgh's Leavanny made him new clothes. Ash asked Sewaddle if he wanted to join him and Sewaddle happily allowed Ash to capture him. But once he was captured, his [[Poké Ball]] became sealed as Ash had seven Pokémon on him at the time. This meant Ash had to send over one of his Pokémon to [[Professor Juniper]] in order to retain Sewaddle in his party, to which he chose his {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}.

In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', Ash wanted to have Sewaddle examined by a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] so he would know how compatible he was with him. He showed him to a C-class Connaisseuse by the name of [[Burgundy]]. She confirmed that his [[ability]] is {{a|Swarm}} which she thought was a bad thing as she thought Ash would be better off with a Sewaddle with {{a|Chlorophyll}}, with no reason to back it up. When she said he should replace Sewaddle, he fired a String Shot at her in anger.

In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', he was used against [[Burgh]], where he fought against and defeated Burgh's {{p|Dwebble}}, who had previously defeated [[Ash's Tepig]]. Later, while battling his {{p|Whirlipede}}, Sewaddle evolved into {{p|Swadloon}}, while learning {{m|Energy Ball}} in the process. However, he lost to Burgh's {{p|Leavanny}} after being hit by a {{m|Leaf Storm}} and a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

As a Sewaddle, Swadloon was childish, often doing things without warning when Ash first met him, such as attacking {{AP|Pikachu}} for no reason other than to battle. He was stubborn and wouldn't admit to his feelings for Ash right away, but after he had been saved a few times, he became more comfortable with Ash and snuggled up to him. Since then, he had been very caring towards his Trainer, even to go so far as to wrap [[Burgundy]]'s head in a {{m|String Shot}} web when she suggested Ash get rid of him.  

Swadloon has also been competitive since his debut and has a strong passion for battling. He always tries his hardest, even when he was at a strong disadvantage during his battle against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} where he still refused to give up and eventually evolved. Since he has evolved, Swadloon is a bit more mature, although he still got a bit childish when he believed {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Scraggy}} took his food in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''. However, he still has a passion for battling. Swadloon also has some sewing skills as seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' where he helped make costumes for [[Luke]]'s movie with [[Luke#Leavanny|his Leavanny]].
