Ash's Naganadel: Difference between revisions

==History==

===As a wild Pokémon===

When Naganadel was in [[Poipole's world|its home world]] as a Poipole, it lived in a nest with multiple other {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Poipole}} and an elder {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Naganadel}}. A {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, also lived in the same world, whose light would make the world a lush and green planet. Although it would often protect the Poipole and Naganadel, one day a meteorite came crashing down and in order to protect the world from its impact, Necrozma collided with it. But in destroying the meteorite, it turned into a different form with a black appearance and fell into a crevasse. After falling, the change in Necrozma's form caused it to be encased in a spiky and crystallized cocoon and turned the lush and bright world into a desolate and dark place. The Poipole and Naganadel would huddle together and take in the remnants of light left. Poipole later left the world, attempting to find a better place to live.

In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Poipole recalled Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} after encountering a wild {{p|Chinchou}}, and went looking for him, eventually finding him at the [[Pokémon School]]. While Ash and his classmates were focusing on their lesson, Poipole attracted Pikachu's attention and lured him away, wanting to see Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} moves again. After Pikachu had shared an apple with it, Poipole started showing its affection towards him with constant nuzzling. [[Ash's Rowlet]], who was looking for Pikachu, mistook this as Pikachu being in trouble and tried to attack Poipole, only for Poipole to panic and use {{m|Toxic}} on Rowlet, {{status|poison}}ing it. After Pikachu scolded Poipole, it understood its mistake and offered to help carry Rowlet. While going through [[Hau'oli City]], the two were attacked by {{TRT}}, who tried to capture them, but were saved when Ash showed up.

In ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', Ash and his classmates visited the [[Hokulani Observatory]] to witness {{p|Minior}} showers falling from the sky and then floating back into space. When the first Minior fell, Poipole immediately became fascinated by the shining light they emitted. One Minior, however, hadn't managed to break out of its shell like the rest, so Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} carried it to the observatory. At the observatory, Poipole kept examining the Minior, until next morning, its shell finally broke, revealing an {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Orange Core}}. Poipole wanted to be friends with the Minior, but initially upset it by spraying some of its paint-like ooze on it. Poipole, however, understood that it had made Minior angry, and cheered it up by painting a picture of it on the wall. Over the course of the day, the two played a lot together, becoming good friends. The next night, another Minior shower came, reuniting Minior with its friends. However, as they started floating back up again, they began to fade away, as they couldn't survive too long without their shell. The same also happened to the Orange Core Minior that Poipole had become friends with, making Poipole sad, but it was calmed down by a gentle hug from Ash.

In ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', Ash encountered [[Mina]], an artist whose {{p|Ribombee}} is capable of detecting the emotions of others. With Ribombee's help, Mina deciphered that Poipole expressed its emotions through its paintings and that it loves Ash and considered him and everyone who lives at Professor Kukui's house to be its family. During the following night, Poipole had a dream about a dark place filled with multiple sad Poipole and a tired Naganadel, causing it to wake up and go look at the moon while crying. The next day, Ash noticed that Poipole was sad and met with Mina again to help find out what Poipole was feeling. Mina accepted and discovered that Poipole was on a mission of some kind. Later that day, Ash noticed Poipole painting a picture of "The Blinding One", which it had taken notice of in a book [[Acerola]] read to them [[SM074|previously]].
