James's Mareanie: Difference between revisions

==In the anime==

===History===

Prior to being caught by James, Mareanie formed a crush on a {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Toxapex|differently colored Mareanie}} after he saved her from a {{p|Tentacruel}}. Later on, though, Mareanie spotted her crush giving a {{p|Corsola}}'s horn to another Mareanie, leaving her heartbroken.

Mareanie debuted in ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'', in which she encountered James when he was wearing a scuba diving helmet resembling a Corsola. She latched onto his helmet, mistaking it for a real Corsola, causing it to crack and flood with water. After James reunited with {{TRT}}, Mareanie latched onto his head and injected him with poison which caused him to resemble a {{p|Mareanie}}, causing Mareanie to become smitten with James. Later, during a battle with {{Ash}}, Mareanie jumped in to help Team Rocket and launched a {{m|Spike Cannon}} towards {{AP|Pikachu}}. With Mareanie's help, Team Rocket gained the upperhand against Ash, {{status|poisoning}} his {{AP|Rowlet}} and dealing serious damage to Pikachu. As [[Jessie's Mimikyu]] was about to launch one final attack, {{an|Bewear}} suddenly appeared from the water and took Team Rocket away with it. After being dropped off at [[Bewear's den]], James asked Mareanie to join his team, which she accepted. After catching her, James called her back out, and Mareanie affectionately latched onto his head, making him look like a Mareanie once more.

In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', Mareanie assisted Team Rocket in their quest to obtain a [[Darkinium Z]]. She battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, which protected the [[Z-Crystal]]. Mareanie attacked with Spike Cannon, agitating it to follow them away from the Darkinium Z. She was then quickly defeated by Raticate's powerful attacks.

In ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', Mareanie was reunited with her former crush, which evolved into {{p|Toxapex}} and fought James for her affections. She later ran away from Team Rocket after she overheard James talking about leaving her with Toxapex, and found sanctuary with Ash at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. The next morning, while walking along the beach, she was attacked by another Tentacruel, but she was saved by James. Despite their reunion, James still insisted on {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} Mareanie, leaving her in tears. However, James was then challenged to a fight by Toxapex to make Mareanie happy, which ended in a tie. Following the fight, Mareanie decided to stay with James, which he accepted.
