Kenny (Sinnoh): Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Kenny was revealed to own a {{p|Breloom}}. He was invited by Ash to finish the battle they started in Floaroma Town, but declined the offer saying he was going to see {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. He decided to battle Ash at the [[Solaceon Ruins]], right in front of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] statues. Using his Breloom against [[Ash's Turtwig]], Kenny was glad the damage was being kept to a minimum, since it was a battle between two {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. He was more focused on showing off the attacks of his Pokémon, just like Dawn anticipated. Ash was struck by a move in particular, {{m|Energy Ball}}, and asked Kenny to teach the attack to his Turtwig. Kenny said he would only do so if he was defeated. Ash agreed, but their battle was interrupted once again when the stairs where Dawn was sitting on began to lift and they had to run to help her. They all ended up inside the Solaceon Ruins, where Kenny became frightened by the illusions caused by the resident {{p|Unown}}. After hearing from Ash that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} must remain calm to pass confidence to their Pokémon, Kenny pulled himself together and began looking for Dawn. While searching for her, he used his Prinplup and Breloom to snap the Unown that kept appearing along the way out of their confusion. Eventually, he found her, and after seeing Piplup convincing the Unown to bring everything back to normal, he left the ruins along with Dawn and the others. Upon leaving, Ash asked him about their battle, to which Kenny replied agreeing to teach Turtwig Energy Ball as long as Ash did not tell Dawn how scared he was at the ruins.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Kenny was seen helping Ash teach Turtwig the move Energy Ball. Later, he participated in the [[Solaceon Town]] Pokémon Contest. Using Breloom for the appeals, Kenny impressed the judges enough for them to grant him a place in the second round. He then used Prinplup in the Battle Stage, and the Penguin Pokémon quickly advanced him to the finals, where he faced [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. Kenny was determined to win, but Jessilina managed to use his techniques to benefit her Pokémon and this led Kenny to a defeat.

Kenny made short cameos in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on TV. He then made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', appearing in [[Marian]]'s news report about Coordinators alongside [[Nando]].

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', he entered the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest in hopes of getting his fourth Ribbon. He declared war against Dawn and said he would complete the requirement for the [[Grand Festival]] before her. He used his {{p|Machoke}} in the Appeals Round, and the unique performance given by the {{pkmn|category|Superpower Pokémon}} easily put him in the second round. Using his reliable Prinplup, he made it to the finals, where he found himself up against Dawn once again. After turning the battle into a {{wp|Table tennis|ping-pong}} match, Kenny was able to defeat Dawn and her {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, thus winning the Contest.

Kenny entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', where it was revealed that his Prinplup had [[Evolution|evolved]] into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}. During the Appeals Round, he used Empoleon alongside his {{p|Floatzel}}, and while the appeal started well, the Emperor Pokémon's {{m|Flash Cannon}} proved to be too powerful and Floatzel was sent flying. As a result, Kenny didn't make it past the round, leading to an early exit from the competition. Upset about his loss, Kenny decided not to remain for the rest of the Grand Festival, and after bidding farewell to Dawn and her friends, Kenny left [[Lake Valor]] to begin his training anew. He made a brief cameo in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals.

He made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
