Clair: Difference between revisions

Clair appears in five episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]], toward the end of the [[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]] saga: ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', ''[[EP252| Fangs for Nothin']]'', ''[[EP253| Great Bowls of Fire]]'', ''[[EP254| Better Eight Than Never]]'' and ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} near [[Blackthorn City]], they discover a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discover that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who is following the Dratini down the river as it prepares to shed its skin. {{TRT}} snatches the Dratini, however, and Clair gives chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escapes, and Ash fights to protect it. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock is headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumps in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnesses its Trainer's devotion, and [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair is finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. Clair then goes on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{Badge|Rising}}.

Ash has the first strike, but the battle is cut short when Team Rocket steals the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all end up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket trick a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrive to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helps him earn him his final [[Johto League]] Badge.

Although Clair does mention [[Lance]] in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalls that he trained under her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].

|desc={{p|Gyarados}} is Clair's hidden powerhouse. It is seen guarding her Dratini. Later, during Ash's rematch with Clair, it managed to defeat [[Ash's Snorlax]] and put up a good fight against his {{p|Pikachu}}, but eventually lost to Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

|desc={{p|Kingdra}} is one of Clair's strongest Pokémon. Clair uses it in both battles with Ash. In the first battle, Ash first decided to use Pikachu, but as Pikachu's attacks didn't have that much effect on Kingdra, Ash switched to {{AP|Noctowl}}, which was easily defeated. Right after this the match interrupted as Team Rocket was trying to steal the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}.
