Growlie: Difference between revisions

As a child, Growlie was James's only friend on [[James's parents|his parents']] estate. The two were inseparable, and Growlie often comforted James whenever he had problems, especially with his parents and arranged fiancée, [[Jessebelle]]. When the stresses of home became too much, James ran away, leaving Growlie behind at the mansion. Growlie lives in an extravagant doghouse, which was so large that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} mistook it for being the family's actual mansion. {{an|Misty}} even commented, to her later embarrassment, that it was the largest mansion she had ever seen.

Years later, in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his parents' home after hearing that they had died. However, this turned out to be a hoax, designed to trick James into marrying Jessebelle. After the deception was revealed, Jessebelle trapped James in the family's dungeon. Ash, {{ashfr}}, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} released Growlie from his doghouse, allowing Growlie to burst into the dungeon and rescue its long-lost master. The two were thrilled to see each other, but their reunion was cut short by Jessebelle, who subsequently attacked with her {{p|Vileplume}}. After defeating the Vileplume and temporarily chasing Jessebelle off the estate, James once again left home, thereby giving up his inheritance and continuing to live with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}. Before he left, he told Growlie to stay behind and watch after his parents, which greatly saddened the Puppy Pokémon.
