A Castform, nicknamed Popo, belongs to {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Previously, she belonged to [[Mr. Stone]], who was injured in an attack by [[Team Aqua]]. Popo was then given to [[Gabby and Ty]] to be cared for while he was being healed. She later decided to travel with Ruby when he began traveling with the reporters because she was lonely. Until he was reunited with {{p|Ralts|Ruru}}, Popo was Ruby's Smart [[Contest]] Pokémon. | A Castform, nicknamed Popo, belongs to {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
