James's Weezing: Difference between revisions

Weezing was shown to be extremely loyal to James, caring about him a great deal and only taking orders from him. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', as a Koffing, it refused to attack Ash's Pokémon on {{MTR}}'s orders, simply because he was not James. Both Koffing and Ekans were very sad about being separated from their Trainers, and were happily crying upon being reunited with them. Also, in that episode, when Meowth orders Koffing and Ekans to attack Ash's Pokémon, they refuse, and they revealed that "Pokémon not bad guys! Pokémon do bad things because masters bad!" This shows that while Weezing and Arbok have strong bonds with their trainers, they never see themselves or any other Pokémon as villains; they only carry out evil deeds out of obedience to their Trainers. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', Koffing's evolution into Weezing was triggered simply by James's emotional tears. The only time Weezing refused to obey its trainer was in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where it refused to attack a Chansey because of how it cared for it during its operation from an injury of a scheme of stealing a group of Pokémon went wrong. This also shows that Weezing will show a great deal of gratitude to anyone who helps it from any form of circumstance. As seen in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', even though Weezing will only obey James, its loyalty does extend to the team as a whole, and it will readily protect anyone it considers an ally. It demonstrated this by stepping in when Arbok was surprised by {{p|Ponyta}}'s flames and retaliating with {{m|Smog}}, even though this proved to be a bad idea when the flames ignited the Smog.
