'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon [[Abilities]]. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Professor Elm works at his laboratory in [[New Bark Town]]. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. He also has an aide who assists him in his laboratory.
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatter-brained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].


After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|Egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an {{evostone|Everstone}}.
Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research—to the point that, according to his wife, he sometimes forgets to eat. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he gives the {{player}} their first [[first partner Pokémon]].


After obtaining all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives the player a [[Master Ball]]; after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a ticket to the [[S.S. Aqua]].
In addition to their first partner Pokémon, Elm gives the player various items during the game. After the player hatches {{p|Togepi}} from the {{pkmn|Egg}} his assistant gives them in the [[Pokémon Center]]{{sup/2|GSC}}/[[Poké Mart]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} in [[Violet City]], Elm gives them an [[Everstone]]. After the player obtains all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives them a [[Master Ball]]. After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], he gives them a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to the neighboring [[Kanto]] region.
 
A man standing next to the east gate of [[Hearthome City]] states that he's a friend with Professor Elm and that his friend told him that leaving a pair of Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Day Care]], sometimes leads to Eggs being found or things that are like Eggs. The man also states that Elm was always a quiet sort and didn't really stand out.

[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|220px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]  
===Main series===
Elm was the top student of {{an|Professor Oak}}, and often argues with him over their research. Elm is also well known for his very long and unnecessary speeches. He is also absent-minded and Elm has a habit of getting incredibly wrapped up in his research that he is completely oblivious to his surroundings.
[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]  
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.


{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} first met Professor Elm in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. After a period of travel, they met up again while he was studying in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]], and finally again when Ash returns to New Bark Town.
Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.


As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, he asked Ash to deliver an {{pkmn|Egg}} that had been poached from Mt. Silver to him. This hatched into a {{AP|Larvitar}}, which Professor Elm then asked Ash to deliver to its home.
After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.


His most recent appearance was a short cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.
In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.


===Pokémon===
[[File:Professor Elm JN.png|thumb|250px|Professor Elm in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.
 
In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.
 
Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.
 
Elm was mentioned in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', when [[Professor Cerise]] told Ash and [[Goh]] about his research into Pokémon Eggs. Elm was also seen in a picture in the same episode.
 
====Character====
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.
 
In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], he was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.  


After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he shouldn't try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with "It's too late".

He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."


A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it hadn't moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|professor}} in the main series that doesn't welcome the player to the world of Pokémon at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
* Professor Elm is the only Professor to give the {{player}} a [[first partner Pokémon]], but not a [[Pokédex]].
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
** Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Professor Elm is the only Professor known to give new [[Trainer]]s a first partner Pokémon that did not give any to neither {{Ash}} nor [[Ash's friends|his companions]].
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the games, one of the townsfolk mentions that Professor Elm is the one who discovered that {{p|Pikachu}} is an evolved Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}} was introduced in [[Generation II]]).
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only professor that didn't give one of his starter Pokémon to a main character.

Professor Elm (Japanese: ウツギ博士 Dr. Utsugi) is the resident Pokémon Professor of New Bark Town in the Johto region. He specializes in Pokémon breeding, and is credited with the discovery of Pokémon Eggs. According to Professor Oak, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of Pokémon evolution." In the anime, Elm also states he studies unusual Pokémon Abilities.

Elm gives one of the three first partner Pokémon of Johto—Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile—to Ethan, KrisC, or LyraHGSS so that they will have an easier time getting to Mr. Pokémon's house.

In the core series games

Professor Elm works at his laboratory in New Bark Town. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a Pokémon Professor like his dad. He also has an aide who assists him in his laboratory.

Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research—to the point that, according to his wife, he sometimes forgets to eat. He holds Professor Oak in high regards. At the start of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, he gives the player their first first partner Pokémon.

In addition to their first partner Pokémon, Elm gives the player various items during the game. After the player hatches Togepi from the Egg his assistant gives them in the Pokémon CenterGSC/Poké MartHGSS in Violet City, Elm gives them an Everstone. After the player obtains all eight Johto Badges, Elm gives them a Master Ball. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, he gives them a ticket to the S.S. Aqua, allowing them to travel to the neighboring Kanto region.

A man standing next to the east gate of Hearthome City states that he's a friend with Professor Elm and that his friend told him that leaving a pair of Pokémon in the Pokémon Day Care, sometimes leads to Eggs being found or things that are like Eggs. The man also states that Elm was always a quiet sort and didn't really stand out.

Professor Elm gives the player their first partner Pokémon in all Johto-based core series games.

Professor Elm in the anime

Professor Elm was one of Professor Oak's top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of Abilities and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in Don't Touch That 'dile. Team Rocket infiltrated his laboratory at New Bark Town, and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a Totodile reserved for a new Trainer. Officer Jenny, Ash, and his friends later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in Around the Whirlpool while he was studying the origins of life in the Whirl Islands with Captain Marius. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-caught Corsola. Together, they docked at the Blue Point Isle, where Elm informed them about the upcoming Whirl Cup tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and Captain Marius then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In Lapras of Luxury, Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight Johto Badges. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an Egg from the nearby Marine Pokémon Laboratory. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from Mt. Silver. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from Naomi and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

The Egg hatched in Hatch Me If You Can, and the group contacted Elm after the baby Larvitar was seemingly unresponsive to Nurse Joy's treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and Delia, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the Silver Conference, and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In You're a Star, Larvitar!, Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. Eventually, Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother Tyranitar.

In A Claim to Flame!, Elm was seen watching the Silver Conference on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear Jackson's video call with Elm in Tie One On! and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, after Dr. Yung revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his Mirage Pokémon system.

Elm was mentioned in Caring for a Mystery!, when Professor Cerise told Ash and Goh about his research into Pokémon Eggs. Elm was also seen in a picture in the same episode.

Character

Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including New Bark Town's Nurse Joy. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

History

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by Joey from Professor Oak, but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the Masked Man at the Ilex Forest and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a Togepi, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild Gligar that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the Tyranitar that Silver borrowed from Lance).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

Emerald arc

In Epilogue, he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the Battle Frontier.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

He is seen in Gold's flashback while Professor Oak gives Gold the task of meeting with Lance who has information about Team Rocket and their plan of obtaining Arceus.

Diamond & Pearl arc

In Knowledge of the Unown II, both Professor Elm and Joey make a cameo. Elm is seen talking with Professor Rowan via videophone.
