'''May's Wartortle''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのカメール''' ''Haruka's Kameil'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{an|May}} in [[Kanto]], and her sixth overall.

May quickly introduced it to [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where it adapted well. It was first used in the Battle Stage of the {{ci|Saffron}} Contest, defeating [[Harley]]'s {{p|Ariados}}, which was its first major accomplishment on May's team. It also managed to defeat [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] with the help of [[May's Combusken]], yet another of its many feats.

In ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', Squirtle was used in the [[Appeal|first round]] of the {{to|Wisteria}} Contest. Its performance started with it using {{m|Rapid Spin}} to spin across the stage rapidly. It proceeded with a {{m|Bubble}} attack, making a spiral of bubbles while still spinning around. After that, it used its {{m|Ice Beam}} to destroy the bubbles and create a frozen fountain. It received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|all]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]], advancing May to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

It debuted as a Wartortle in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' where it was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Wallace Cup]]. Wartortle began by using [[Rapid Spin (move)|Rapid Spin]] on the water field before finishing with its newly learned [[Aqua Tail (move)|Aqua Tail]]. The performance was good enough to advance May to the next round.

May's Squirtle is distinct from [[Ash's Squirtle]], as it is much younger and smaller, mainly because it was intended to be a [[starter Pokémon]]. Squirtle started out relatively shy and was a bit of a crybaby. It has considerably grown since its first appearance, crying less and competing in more Contests. As a Wartortle, it showed a more boisterous attitude with no signs of the tears that defined it as a Squirtle.

The two moves fuse into a water and fire whirlwind surrounded by sparks which traps the opponents. It was inspired by {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}'s tactical fusion of {{t|Fire}}- and {{type|Water}} [[Move|attacks]].
