Ash's Mijumaru (Japanese: サトシのミジュマル Satoshi's Mijumaru) is the second Pokémon that Ash caught in the Isshu region.

History

Ash first met Mijumaru in Professor Araragi's laboratory in BW001, under her ownership. It took an interest in Ash after he called it cute and began following him, watching from behind a tree when Ash was battling against Shooti, then making sure he was okay after Zekrom restored Pikachu's electricity. It continued to follow him after he set out on his journey, mostly staying out of sight.

In BW002, it reappeared after Ash's Mamepato was defeated, rescuing Pikachu and Kibago from Team Rocket by throwing its shell, popping Team Rocket's balloon. Shortly afterward, Mijumaru used Water Gun on Jessie's Koromori saving Pikachu and Kibago again.

In BW003, Mijumaru showed its interest in traveling with Ash and successfully convinced Ash to take it with him on his journey. When Ash tried to catch it with a Poké Ball, it failed as it was still under Professor Araragi's ownership. He immediately called Araragi and requested she send him Mijumaru's Poké Ball. Later on, Mijumaru helped Ash from a hot spring geyser by using Water Gun. Finally, Ash officially called it back to its Poké Ball in order to prevent it from falling into the hot water.

Trivia

• Mijumaru's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after DP190, featuring all the Isshu starters.
• Similar to Aipom and Gible, it followed Ash behind his back and debuted few episodes earlier before its official capture.
• Mijumaru is the first Starter Pokémon that Ash has captured first in its region and isn't the region's Grass-type starter.
