Randall: Difference between revisions

While the other kids were enjoying playing with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}'s Pokémon, Ash noticed Randy in the distance running away. The principal got him to see the Pokémon, but he was reluctant to get close to {{AP|Froakie}} or {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, even when assured by Ash and {{an|Bonnie}} there was nothing to be afraid of. Randy then revealed his fear of Pokémon was due to a previous incident. Before then, he had been quite curious of Pokémon. But when he tried to bond with a {{p|Hoppip}}, it jumped away in shock. Unknown to him, the real reason the Hoppip jumped away was not because of his presence, but because a {{p|Beedrill}} appeared right behind him, scaring it. Even with more reassurance from Ash and co., Randy was still convinced that Pokémon were scary. Suddenly, {{TRT}} pulled up in front of the school disguised as children's entertainers, causing everyone to run up to the entertainment, with Randy being dragged along and up on stage. When Team Rocket's scheme was revealed, everyone else escaped, but Randy, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}, Froakie, and Premier's {{p|Sylveon}} were left in the stage truck on their getaway. While in the truck, when he realized Sylveon and other Pokémon were friends and not tricksters, Randy finally got over his fear of Pokémon. Therefore, he desired to help save the captive Pokémon with Ash, which they both accomplished with force. After Ash defeated Team Rocket, Premier took them back to the kindergarten. After sharing his story of saving Pikachu and Sylveon to the class, Randy reiterated that Froakie and the other Pokémon were his friends, which Ash seconds. Upon bidding farewell to Ash and friends, both agreed to have a battle in the future.

Although he was not comfortable around Pokémon before, he began to have second thoughts about Pikachu when he realized how much it needed his help. By the end of the episode, he declared Pikachu, along with the other Pokémon, to be his friends.}}

|desc=As with the other Pokémon, Randy was timid around Froakie. However, when both of them were left behind in the truck due to isolation from the group, they took a liking to each other. This was strengthened when Froakie helped in freeing Pikachu and Sylveon. At the end of the episode, the two exchanged a handshake as they bid farewell. }}
