Blastoise | '''Gary's Blastoise''' (Japanese: '''シゲルのカメックス''' ''Shigeru's Kamex'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that [[Gary Oak]] obtained at the beginning of his travels in [[Kanto]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}. | ||
==In the anime== | |||
===Main series=== | |||
====History==== | |||
=====[[Original series]]===== | |||
[[File:Gary Squirtle.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Squirtle}}, in a flashback{{tt|*|Not known to be Gary's until EP269}}]] | |||
======Kanto====== | |||
Gary received Squirtle in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' as a [[first partner Pokémon]] from {{an|Professor Oak}}. He did not tell {{Ash}} which of the three first partner Pokémon he chose, but bragged that it was the best one. | |||
In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Squirtle appeared in a flashback, though the episode did not reveal which of the three Trainers who left before Ash owned it. [[Samurai]] remembered Gary and the others fondly as they had fought spectacular battles, with Gary's Squirtle defeating his {{p|Metapod}}. | |||
======Johto====== | |||
Finally, in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', the fully-evolved Blastoise was revealed to Ash when Gary sent it out to battle {{AP|Heracross}}. In Gary's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', its {{m|Hydro Pump}} managed to blast through the rocky terrain and [[Fainting|defeat]] Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} in a single hit. It then stalemated his {{AP|Muk}}, completely nullifying Muk's {{m|Sludge Bomb}} with its {{m|Rapid Spin}}, but unable to gain much purchase with its {{m|Skull Bash}}. After Muk smothered Blastoise with its body, Blastoise used Hydro Pump to blast Muk off and injure it. Ash pulled Muk for the type-advantaged {{AP|Bayleef}}, but Blastoise overcame her as well, deflecting {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Rapid Spin, then using its {{m|Bite}} attack on her leaf and knocking her out by throwing her aside. | |||
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Blastoise losing to Ash's Charizard]] | |||
It was recalled until the final bout when it fought against {{AP|Charizard}}, who had overcome {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Golem}} just as Blastoise had defeated Heracross and Bayleef. With a type advantage and having had a break between battles, Blastoise was quickly on the front foot, deflecting {{m|Flamethrower}} with Rapid Spin and hitting with Hydro Pump and Skull Bash. It neutralized Charizard's aerial advantage by using Hydro Pump to keep him at bay, giving Charizard no opening. | |||
Charizard and Ash thought outside the box and melted all of the rocks with powerful Flamethrower attacks. Immobilized, Blastoise had no choice but to cool the field down with Hydro Pump, but Charizard took advantage of the resulting steam to get in close to Blastoise. Even then, Blastoise proved a worthy opponent; while unable to aim its water cannons, it was still able to dodge a {{m|Dragon Rage}} attack with {{m|Withdraw}}. Charizard lifted Blastoise into the air, holding on despite Blastoise biting hard on his arm, and executed a {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Both Pokémon stared each other down, but Blastoise gave out and fainted. | |||
In ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish!]]'', Gary decided to become a {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon Researcher}} and the only Pokémon he would take on his new {{pkmn|journey}} was Blastoise. After using Blastoise to free {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}, he departed home for Pallet and then set off for future endeavors. His choice inspired Ash to begin his journey in [[Hoenn]] with only his first Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}. | |||
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===== | |||
Gary and Blastoise later appeared in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', where they helped Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} in protecting the {{p|Shieldon}} from [[J]] and her [[J's henchmen|evil minions]]. It first used {{m|Water Gun}} to stop J's henchmen's vehicle, which Pikachu disabled with {{m|Thunderbolt}} while on the soaking machine. However, it was knocked on its back by a {{p|Golbat}}'s {{m|Wing Attack}}, and Gary recalled it after {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} disturbed some {{p|Beedrill}} that drove Golbat and the henchmen away. Gary used Blastoise again in a battle against [[J's Salamence]] and {{p|Drapion}} along with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The battle ended without a result after J captured one of the Shieldon that her client had requested. | |||
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''===== | |||
Blastoise appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. | |||
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===== | |||
[[File:Gary Blastoise and Goh Cinderace.png|thumb|250px|Blastoise teaming up with {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}]] | |||
Blastoise reappeared in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', where it was used to save Ash and [[Goh]] from an {{p|Onix}} that Goh failed to catch. It was later sent out to battle a wild {{p|Moltres}}. Despite the type advantage, Blastoise was eventually defeated. | |||
In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', Gary used Blastoise during his [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]] at [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where it teamed up with [[Goh's Cinderace]] to battle [[Lyla]]'s {{p|Sandaconda}} and [[Sterling]]'s {{p|Runerigus}}. After they were defeated, the two Pokémon teamed up to fight {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, weakening them and allowing Gary to catch the Regidrago. | |||
In ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]'', Blastoise was the first Pokémon used by Gary in the battle against {{an|Mew}} alongside Goh's Cinderace, [[Danika]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}, [[Quillon]]'s {{p|Weavile}}, and [[Horace]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}. Despite doing their best, the Pokémon were defeated, forcing Gary to recall Blastoise. | |||
====Personality and characteristics==== | |||
[[File:Gary and Blastoise.png|left|thumb|250px|Gary and Blastoise]] | |||
Not much is known about the personality of Gary's Blastoise, however it was described in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind!]]'' by Gary that it was his best, showing that it was one of his favourite Pokémon, if not his favourite. It was mentioned in the same episode by Professor Oak to be his most powerful. This was shown in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', when it defeated Heracross with one move despite Heracross using rocks as a shield as well as it easily beating Bayleef and being a good match for Charizard. Its Rapid Spin can deflect powerful attacks, even super-effective ones such as Razor Leaf. | |||
Blastoise appears to have a team spirit, briefly nodding to {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}} after they manage to fulfill a [[Project Mew]] mission. | |||

This was used to weaken {{p|Regieleki}} and Regidrago enough for [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them, respectively. | |||

===I Choose You!=== | |||
[[File:Gary Oak Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|As a Squirtle in ''I Choose You!'']] | |||
Blastoise made a brief appearance as a {{p|Squirtle}} in a flashback in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline separate from the main series. Like in the main series, Squirtle was chosen by Gary to be his first partner Pokémon. | |||

==In anime novelizations== | |||
About two years before Gary was revealed to own it, [[Talent Showdown]], one of the [[Pokémon anime novelization series|book adaptations of the anime]], depicted a Blastoise under his ownership. However, due to his first partner Pokémon not being confirmed at the time of the book's release, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Venusaur}} were under his ownership as well. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | * {{Ash}} originally wanted {{p|Squirtle}} as his [[first partner Pokémon]], while Gary was the one who took it. Coincidentally, this is similar to [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]] where the rival character takes the first partner Pokémon of the main character. However, in that case it was the rival taking the first partner Pokémon Eevee by force rather than Gary showing up earlier for Squirtle. | ||
* | * Unlike in the games, instead of the rival (Gary/{{ga|Blue}}) having the first partner Pokémon with the type advantage, [[Ash's Pikachu]] has the type advantage. | ||
** However, Ash uses his {{AP|Charizard}} against Blastoise during his battle with Gary in the [[Silver Conference]], mirroring the type advantage seen in the games. | |||
* In the English dub, {{an|Misty}} seemed to be aware that Gary's first partner Pokémon was Squirtle, as when Blastoise is shown for the first time, Misty says, "Brock, could that be...?", to which Brock replies, "The same Squirtle that Gary originally received from {{an|Professor Oak}}? Yeah, that's the one." This exchange did not occur in the original Japanese version of the episode. | |||
