Dr. Namba: Difference between revisions

Inside an underwater Team Rocket laboratory, Dr. Namba has some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s go to the area to spy on Lugia and report back the details of its whereabouts. The grunts do so and Dr. Namba dispatched a submarine in order to catch it. In the meantime, he had [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]] and some other grunts to fire nets at it but {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} foiled Butch and Cassidy's while [[Oliver]]'s {{p|Lanturn}} forced the grunts to retreat. Dr. Namba is then given the report by Butch and Cassidy. Afterwards, Dr. Namba wants the duo to go get something.

After Butch and Cassidy successfully got Silver, the child Lugia, it was given to Dr. Namba who proudly stands in front of it. Butch and Cassidy arrive and discussed with Dr. Namba about a plan relating with using Silver as a decoy to capture the parent Lugia. Dr. Namba agreed with them as he found it to be too easy. As the parent Lugia went on a rampage after finding out what happened to the child, Dr. Namba monitors on the screen the parent Lugia doing so.

Dr. Namba gave Butch and Cassidy a Rage Crown to increase their Pokémon's strength drastically. After the storm stopped, he brings out Silver who was still caged. Dr. Namba watched on as the parent Lugia goes to it. As Ash and the gang failed to stop Butch and Cassidy, and the parent Lugia from going to its child as it was a trap, Dr. Namba successfully managed to get both Lugia.

With both Lugia caught, Dr. Mamba caged Ash and the gang inside the lab. Dr. Namba explained his plan to them which considered the Rage Crown being part of his little experiment of amplifying energy, as well as manipulation. He decided to try the Rage Crown on both [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]]. However, before he could do so, Oliver comes in and frees Ash and his friends and Dr. Namba gets tackled by Ash. However, before they can get away, Dr. Namba trips the alarm which summons all of the members of Team Rocket.

As all of the grunts were subdued by Ash and Ritchie, Dr. Namba prevents the group from freeing the Lugia and sends out his {{p|Electabuzz}} to battle them. Ash and Ritchie use their Pikachu to take care of Electabuzz as Electabuzz was wearing the Rage Crown. During the battle, Ash noticed the Rage Crown's weakness which was the controller Dr. Namba was holding. Sparky goes to Dr. Namba and destroys the controller with its electricity. With Electabuzz powerless, both Pikachu finish it off and Electabuzz lands on Dr. Namba. After an explosion happened in the lab, Dr. Namba was seen holding on to a piece of debris on the ocean.

In the Japanese version of Dr. Namba appearances on Pokémon Chronicles, Namba demands that Butch and Cassidy capture rare Pokémon for something he calls the 'R Project', and as such, served as a recurring antagonist alongside the duo.

In ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]]'', Dr. Namba informs them in a recording to apprehend a {{p|Delcatty}} belonging to a [[Georgio|little boy]] who lived somewhere in Cerulean City. In ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', he does the same but this time, wants Butch and Cassidy to capture a Luvdisc which was located the same place as Delcatty was in.

|desc=Dr. Namba caught the parent {{p|Lugia}} by bringing out its child, Silver. The parent Lugia went to Silver but was almost stopped by Ash, Misty, Brock and Ritchie, and their Pokémon, as Butch and Cassidy defeated them using their Pokémon when they had the rage crown on.
