'''Wani-Wani''' (Japanese: '''ワニワニ''' ''Wani-Wani'') is a {{p|Feraligatr}} that {{jo|Marina}} owns and her [[first partner Pokémon]].

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
[[File:LoT first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Marina picking Totodile to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Wani-Wani was obtained as a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]] on the same day that [[Vincent]] received his {{TP|Vincent|Chikorita}} and {{jo|Jimmy}} received his {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil}}, as seen in the Japanese opening and ending theme "[[A New Oath]]".

In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', Marina used Wani-Wani to battle Jimmy's {{p|Beedrill}} after {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Pink}} was defeated. Jimmy then called Beedrill back and used his Typhlosion to battle the {{type|Water}} Pokémon. During the battle, Marina was revealed to be in sync with Wani-Wani's actions. Despite the type disadvantage, Typhlosion managed to stand up to Wani-Wani's attacks.

However, the battle ended without a winner being declared because Marina and Jimmy ended up seeing from a distance the change in climate caused by [[Team Rocket]]'s attack on {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}}. Shortly afterwards, Wani-Wani was returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
Wani-Wani made a cameo appearance along with its Trainer in the beginning of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where Marina and her Pokémon were seen running in a plain as a {{p|Lugia}} appeared next to them.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Wani-Wani was revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Feraligatr during an Internet broadcast of a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. It was used alongside Pink in a [[Double Performance]], during which it used {{m|Aqua Tail}} to lift Pink in the air so the Balloon Pokémon could use its {{m|Psychic}} attack to splash the water.

==Personality and characteristics==
Despite Wani-Wani's brief appearance in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', it was shown to be in sync with its Trainer and was able to hold its own during battle. After it evolved sometime before ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Wani-Wani was also shown to have good performing skills as Marina was able to earn the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

==Trivia==
* The nickname Wani-Wani either comes from ワニノコ ''Waninoko'', {{p|Totodile}}'s Japanese name, or just from the Japanese word for {{wp|crocodile}}, 鰐 ''wani''. 
* It is the only first partner Pokémon from ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' that wasn't in its final form in its introduction, as [[Jimmy's Typhlosion]] and [[Vincent's Meganium]] are.
