'''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') is a major character who appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. He is a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] who was [[Time travel|transported]] by {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} from 40 years in the past to {{Ash}}'s time by accident.

==In the movies==
[[File:Sammy Oak.png|thumb|left|250px|Sam]]
Forty years ago, Sam traveled through the woods near [[Arborville]] and met a woman named [[Towa]], who told him about the "Voice of the Forest", and that if he did hear it, he should not move or else he would be sent to another time. Sam was also told about a rare Pokémon living there. With that said, Towa gave Sam a piece of bread as a parting gift. While continuing his travels in the forest, a {{OBP|Pokémon poacher|M04}} went chasing after {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}, wishing to capture it. Sam defended Celebi from the poacher, and shortly afterwards, the Pokémon teleported itself and Sam into the future.
 
During the present day, Sam landed in the same area that he got teleported from, outside a Celebi shrine. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in the area and found Sam unconscious. Ash took him back to Arborville, where Sam woke up to find out that Celebi had disappeared. After an aged Towa explained the situation to them, and returned the sketchbook that Sam had dropped as he was whisked away into the future, Sam and the group went into the forest and found Celebi where the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] was destroying the forest. The Marauder encountered the group, but they escaped.
 
The Marauder sent {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Sneasel}} after them. However, Sam and Ash battled the two Pokémon and were able to defeat them. Sam and the group arrived in a foggy portion of the [[Lake of Life]] and were able to heal Celebi with the water. As Celebi recovered, Ash and Sam played with it, having fun. Celebi then led the group to a [[Berry]] tree.
 
Later, Sam and the others encountered the Iron-Masked Marauder again. Despite their efforts, the Marauder managed to capture Celebi in a [[Dark Ball]]. Sam and Ash tried in vain to get the corrupted Celebi to stop as the Marauder commanded it to destroy the forest. However Celebi was unable to break free of the Marauder's control and began rampaging through the forest. As Celebi prepared to finish off Sam and Ash, but {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} arrived and saved the two Trainers. Suicune was then attacked by a monstrous ball's tendril, which sent all three of them flying. They were caught by a trapped [[Jessie]], who told them where Celebi was. Upon reaching it, Sam reminded Celebi about the fun times they shared, despite Celebi relentlessly attacking them in the process. The memories spurred Celebi to break free from the Marauder's control, destroying its Dark Ball in the process.

However, expending too much energy drained Celebi's life force, and it fell unconscious and began to wither away. Sam took it to the Lake of Life to restore it, but the waters had no effect, even after Suicune used its powers to purify the lake. After a brief period of mourning, however, the Celebi from all across time arrived and succeeded in reviving the fallen Celebi. The Iron-Masked Marauder emerged shortly after, and attempted again to capture Celebi, but he was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} and subdued by the other forest Pokémon. Celebi then prepared to [[Time travel|travel back to the past]], and after exchanging farewells with Ash, Sam joined it and returned to his own time.
 
Later, Ash expressed his sadness to {{an|Professor Oak}} about Sam leaving, to which Professor Oak assured Ash that he and Sam will always be friends. After the call, {{an|Misty}} wondered how Professor Oak knew Sam's name when they hadn't mentioned it to him. At his lab, Professor Oak was seen looking at a faded version of Sam's sketchbook.
 
Sam briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s.
 
===Character===
Sam is an incredibly bright and pure-hearted individual. He was shown to have some skills in {{pkmn|Watcher|Pokémon watching}}, similar to {{Tracey}}, as revealed by the detailed sketches in his sketchbook. After rescuing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} from a {{OBP|Pokémon poacher|M04}}, he developed a [[friendship|bond]] with it.
