Rocky

Rocky (Japanese: イワシミズ Iwashimizu) is a character of the day who appeared in Training Wrecks. His English voice actor is David Chen and his Japanese voice actor is 千葉進歩 Susumu Chiba.

Rocky makes his home on Muscle Island. He enjoys exercising, and using Pokémon to help him. Another one of his hobbies is battling. In fact, when Ash and his friends visited the island, Rocky challenged Ash to a Double battle.

Using his Walrein and Quagsire, Rocky was able to get the upper hand in his battle against the young Pokémon Trainer by having the half-Ground Quagsire block all of Pikachu's Electric moves and having his Walrein use Ice Ball. However, Ash was able to deduce that the speed of the Ice Ball slowed down every turn. Using it to his advantage, he was able to defeat Rocky.

Rocky was proud to have battled Ash, and wished him luck in the future.

Rocky's name is both a reference to Rocky Balboa and his Japanese name, which means water trickling from between rocks.
