Count Pumpk

Count Pumpk (Japanese: パンプ伯爵 Count Pump) is a character of the day from A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?.

During the Gourgeist Festival, Count Pumpk was looking at participants from his castle. He spotted Team Rocket and was impressed by Jessie's Pumpkaboo. When he showed her to his own Pumpkaboo, he fell in love with her immediately. Because of this, Count Pumpk had his steward invite Team Rocket for a meal at his castle. He introduced himself to the trio and told them he wanted Jessie's Pumpkaboo. Jessie saw a chance in this to swindle the count, and told him that her Pumpkaboo had been threatened by Ash's Pikachu. If Count Pumpk would be able to get Pikachu for them, Jessie would consider trading her Pumpkaboo to him. As such, he sent his steward after Ash and his friends.

Ash and his friends ultimately bursted into Count Pumpk's castle. Still thinking they were bad people, the count had his steward imprison them. Following this, the count proposed Jessie to trade her Pumpkaboo to him now. When she claimed she didn't want to trade it away, Count Pumpk offered her a Mawile. Imagining she could Mega Evolve the Mawile, she agreed. After the trade, Pumpkaboo evolved into Gourgeist. The count's own Pumpkbaoo suddenly lost all interest in her, and Jessie regretted the trade as she remembered the good times she had had with Pumpkaboo. Count Pumpk then agreed to reverse the trade. During all this, Ash and his friends managed to escape. They revealed to the count and his steward that Team Rocket were the bad people instead. After they managed to blast Team Rocket off, Count Pumpk and his steward apologized to them. He then invited them for dinner as they watched the fireworks of the Gourgeist Festival.
