Ash's Incineroar: Difference between revisions

'''Ash's Torracat''' (Japanese: '''サトシのニャヒート''' ''Satoshi's Nyaheat'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-ninth overall.

Few details are known about Torracat's past when it was a Litten, except that it endured unknown hardships that have brought those who can understand Litten—such as {{TR|Meowth}} and [[Olivia]]—to tears. Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, the Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it, the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the berries in his shopping bag.

In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen training with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside of an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger its become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.

Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Litten still cares for it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.
