'''Wani-Wani''' (Japanese: '''ワニワニ''' ''Wani-Wani'') is [[Marina (Legend of Thunder)|Marina]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}}. It was her [[starter Pokémon]], obtained as a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]] on the same day that [[Vincent]] received his [[Vincent's Meganium|Chikorita]] and [[Jimmy (Legend of Thunder)|Jimmy]] received his [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|Cyndaquil]].
'''Wani-Wani''' (Japanese: '''ワニワニ''' ''Wani-Wani'') is a {{p|Feraligatr}} that {{jo|Marina}} owns and her [[first partner Pokémon]].


Unlike Jimmy's Typhlosion and Vincent's Meganium, it doesn't seem to be used as often, only appearing once as a {{p|Croconaw}} during [[The Legend of Thunder!]]. This, of course, could possibly be just in the one episode, however.
==History==
===[[Original series]]===
[[File:LoT first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Marina picking Totodile to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Wani-Wani was obtained as a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]] on the same day that [[Vincent]] received his {{TP|Vincent|Chikorita}} and {{jo|Jimmy}} received his {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil}}, as seen in the Japanese opening and ending theme "[[A New Oath]]".


It has had cameos as a Croconaw in the beginning of the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|9th movie]], and as a Feraligatr in [[DP041]].
In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', Marina used Wani-Wani to battle Jimmy's {{p|Beedrill}} after {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Pink}} was defeated. Jimmy then called Beedrill back and used his Typhlosion to battle the {{type|Water}} Pokémon. During the battle, Marina was revealed to be in sync with Wani-Wani's actions. Despite the type disadvantage, Typhlosion managed to stand up to Wani-Wani's attacks.


However, the battle ended without a winner being declared because Marina and Jimmy ended up seeing from a distance the change in climate caused by [[Team Rocket]]'s attack on {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}}. Shortly afterwards, Wani-Wani was returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}}.
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
Wani-Wani made a cameo appearance along with its Trainer in the beginning of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where Marina and her Pokémon were seen running in a plain as a {{p|Lugia}} appeared next to them.
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Wani-Wani was revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Feraligatr during an Internet broadcast of a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. It was used alongside Pink in a [[Double Performance]], during which it used {{m|Aqua Tail}} to lift Pink in the air so the Balloon Pokémon could use its {{m|Psychic}} attack to splash the water.
{{-}}
==Personality and characteristics==
Despite Wani-Wani's brief appearance in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', it was shown to be in sync with its Trainer and was able to hold its own during battle. After it evolved sometime before ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Wani-Wani was also shown to have good performing skills as Marina was able to earn the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[Image:Wani-Wani.jpg|thumb|200px|Wani-Wani as a {{p|Croconaw}} using {{m|Water Gun}}.]]
* The nickname Wani-Wani either comes from ワニノコ ''Waninoko'', {{p|Totodile}}'s Japanese name, or just from the Japanese word for {{wp|crocodile}}, 鰐 ''wani''.  
*The nickname Wani-Wani either comes from ワニノコ ''Waninoko'', {{p|Totodile}}'s Japanese name, or just from the Japanese word for [[wp:Crocodile|crocodile]], 鰐 ''wani''. Strangely, this was kept for the English dub, even though [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] is known for having a policy of Americanizing anime when they dub it.
* It is the only first partner Pokémon from ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' that wasn't in its final form in its introduction, as [[Jimmy's Typhlosion]] and [[Vincent's Meganium]] are.
*It is believed by some that Wani-Wani was actually the same Totodile seen in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]''. [[Professor Elm]] had mentioned that he was saving the Totodile for a girl starting her Pokémon journey the next day, which would, if the theory proves correct, be Marina.
