Mayor of Trovitopolis: Difference between revisions

{{Unknown name}}

The '''Mayor of Trovitopolis''' (Japanese: '''ビッグシティの市長''' ''Mayor of Big City'') is a [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''.

While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were heading through [[Trovitopolis]] on the way to [[Trovita Island]], they landed in the sewers after one of {{TRT}}'s attempts to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} went wrong. The Trovitopolis [[Officer Jenny]] found them down there after [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] got kidnapped by a creature. After Ash and his friends got out of the sewers, they were locked in jail. The paranoid mayor wanted to get rid of the creature in the sewers to improve his chances in the next election, and hired a personal SWAT team to carry out his needs by guarding every sewer entrance in the city. However, after sealing all the exits in the sewers, it turned out the mayor cared more about winning the next election than what was going on down below, emphasizing his selfish, egocentric, power-hungry and cruel nature.

As Ash and his friends were looking for Bulbasaur, {{an|Misty}} and her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} were captured, too. It later turned out a {{p|Bulbasaur}} that was [[Giant Pokémon|twice its normal size]] was the creature wreaking havoc. It was driven by loneliness, having been abandoned by the mayor when he was a child, and was looking for someone to keep it company. Ash, Misty, and {{Tracey}} then showed the whole town that the monster was the Bulbasaur that the mayor abandoned, after the pipes burst and flooded Trovitopolis City Hall.

|desc=When he was a child, the mayor received a {{p|Bulbasaur}}. However, rather than care for it like any other {{pkmn|Trainer}}, all he was focused on was getting Bulbasaur to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. When this didn't happen quick enough, he cruelly dumped Bulbasaur into a sewer and abandoned it without a second thought. Bulbasaur cried out sadly as the wooden raft floated down to the sewer.
