'''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] region. | '''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] region. | ||
==Personality== | |||
Early on, Bayleef developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval. Her personality is stubborn, passionate and sometimes violent. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash's other Pokémon receive - especially {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution. She has proven to be a powerful and tactical battler, often using her vines to restrict opponent's moves (clamping Houndoom's jaw and Machoke's arms) or even as a propeller to become airborne, a tactic later copied by Gary's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. | |||

Chikorita later was used in ''[[EP127|Once In a Blue Moon]]'' to try getting the [[GS Ball]] back. However, Chikorita only wanted to be affectionate, so when Ash told Chikorita not to, Chikorita got angry and hit Ash with her leaf. | Chikorita later was used in ''[[EP127|Once In a Blue Moon]]'' to try getting the [[GS Ball]] back.

Chikorita | Chikorita made her gym battle debut in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', where she took on [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}}. Ash showed that he believes in Chikorita by defending his choice to a disapproving Falkner, but Chikorita was outclassed by the [[Flying (type)|flying]] type, who dodged its {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then knocked it out with a {{m|Peck}} and a {{m|Tackle}}. | ||
Chikorita's jealousy of Pikachu and resentment towards Ash arose in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]''. Ash tried to withdraw Chikorita for Pikachu in battle with a Trainer's {{p|Raticate}}, but Chikorita would not allow this and the battle was suspended by the time Ash caught her. She later ran away during the night and stumbled into the territory of a group of urban Pokémon. Lashing out at the {{p|Primeape}} leader, she knocks it out and becomes the new leader. Team Rocket tries to take her and the other Pokémon with their robot made out of tires, but Ash risks himself to save her, and Chikorita returns the favour by catching him when he falls. The two then take down the robot and Chikorita forgives Ash and becomes friends with Pikachu. | |||
In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Chikorita was sent out to battle against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Spinarak}}, who had already immobilised his {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. Chikorita used {{m|Sweet Scent}} to daze Spinarak and knocked it out with {{m|Tackle}}. However, she was completely caught off guard by Bugsy's {{p|Metapod}}, which used Tackle and knocked Chikorita out. | |||
Chikorita | In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Chikorita defeated {{an|Misty}}'s powerful {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. She was almost defeated by the powerful {{m|Water Gun}}, but she dug in her heels and then managed to dodge {{m|Tackle}} and hit Staryu from behind with {{m|Vine Whip}}. By this point, she had proven to increase her battling capability significantly, taking down {{an|Jessie}}'s {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} in a single Tackle in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''. | ||

She appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' alongside Ash's other Pokémon. She was sent to Ash from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Prof. Oak's lab]] and tackled Barry. Then, she found Ash and tackled him, too. When he tried to return her to her [[Poké Ball]], she took it in her mouth, wanting to spend more time with Ash. She later helped destroy the hands of one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]], and afterwards, was sent back to Professor Oak's lab. Bayleef was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. | She appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' alongside Ash's other Pokémon.
