Brock's Ludicolo: Difference between revisions

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====

=====Hoenn=====

Before joining Brock's [[party]] in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'', Lotad belonged to a group of Lotad that lived near the [[Pretty Petal flower shop]] between [[Petalburg City]] and [[Rustboro City]]. It was somewhat dense compared to the other Lotad that watered the shop's garden, but thanks to some encouragement from Brock, it was eventually able to water the plants as well. Soon after, it joined Brock's team after rescuing its fellow Lotad from {{TRT}}.

During the events of ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', Lotad rescued some {{p|Mudkip}}, one of which Brock captured. Since then, the two {{t|Water}} types would often be used together, usually to launch a dual Water Gun attack.  

Lotad evolved in ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home!]]'', after falling into an empty well. The people of the nearby village claimed {{p|Lombre}} as their "Water Lord," and hoped that it would be able to end the drought blamed on a {{p|Solrock}}. It later did by cooling the Solrock down with Water Gun and creating enough steam to make rain clouds. As a Lombre, it continued to be used often alongside {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Because it looks similar to a sombrero-wearing human, Lombre has performed alongside Brock in his [[Takeshi's Paradise]] outfit.

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', Lombre was used in a mock battle alongside Mudkip against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}} to help {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} train as a [[Battle judge|referee]]. Lombre was quickly pushed into a tough position and Brock had it play dead to give Jimmy an easy judgement. As Jimmy wondered what to do, Ash commanded Swellow to attack Lombre, who retaliated with Razor Leaf. The attack failed to knock out Swellow, and it and Mudkip attacked with duel Water Guns, which Corphish blocked. Jimmy declared Corphish unable to battle, though it sprung back up immediately after. His teacher scolded him for the rash judgement and the battle was put to an end.

In ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', a {{p|Mawile}} became infatuated with a seemingly uninterested Lombre. Brock wished Lombre to reciprocate so that he could get closer to Mawile's Trainer, [[Samantha]], but Lombre appeared apathetic. Later, while Mawile and Samantha were performing onstage, Lombre searched through Samantha's belongings, discovering a [[Water Stone]]. The contact with the Water Stone triggered its evolution into {{p|Ludicolo}}, as well as a change in personality. As a Ludicolo, it now was much more friendly and energetic, and was now willing to return Mawile's affection. Unfortunately for Ludicolo (and Brock), Mawile wanted nothing to do with the fully evolved Pokémon and moved on to other Pokémon, namely a {{p|Psyduck}}. Although surprised, Ludicolo quickly bounced back to its happy state and took Brock with it.
