Melvin
Melvin (Japanese: マギー McGee) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime. His English voice actor is Ted Lewis and his Japanese voice actor is 葉月パル Pal Hazuki.
Melvin's only appearance was in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. He was a struggling magician who always had bad luck. When Misty ran into him at the carnival, his assistant had just quit on him. Feeling bad for him, she became his new assistant, but it didn't improve his magic show.
When Ash was questioning Melvin about what good his Exeggcute was, they used Hypnosis on him, putting him under Melvin's control. He had Ash weaken a group of Exeggutor, which Melvin proceeded to capture. He planned to use them to hypnotize everybody at the carnival into attending his show.
However, after his own Exeggcute evolved into Exeggutor, it hypnotized the other Exeggutor into stampeding throughout the carnival, destroying everything in sight. Melvin didn't know what to do, but with the help of Misty and Ash's Charmander, he was able to create his own fire to snap the Exeggutor out of their hypnosis and return everything back to normal.
Pokémon
This listing is of Melvin's Pokémon in the anime:
Melvin originally used this Exeggutor as an Exeggcute in his magic show. After Exeggcute hypnotized Ash, Melvin decided to use him to catch himself multiple Exeggutor. When Team Rocket arrives in order to steal the Coconut Pokémon, Exeggcute evolves* into another Exeggutor. When the Exeggutor hypnotized each other, they started rampaging away. When all of the Exeggutor were freed from the hypnosis, Melvin's original Exeggutor returned back to him, making him very happy. They were together saying goodbye when Ash and friends left.
Status unknown
Melvin caught these multiple Exeggutor with the help of hypnotized Ash and his Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander. When the Exeggutor started marching around under of their own hypnosis, Melvin helped Ash's Charmander with his "Raging Fire" magic trick to wake them up. After this the Exeggutor walked away. However, it isn't especially metioned that they were released, so it's possible that Melvin still owns them.
