This Alakazam is a psychic-type Pokémon owned by Salon Maiden Anabel.
Biography[]
Alakazam was first used by Anabel when they were battling Team Rocket. It reflected Team Rocket's attacks with using Psychic and used Psychic also to get Anabel and Ash Ketchum to land. Jessie's Seviper and James' Cacnea were about to attack Alakazam but Alakazam used Psybeam, cancelling their attacks and confusing them. Alakazam was later used again in Anabel's battle against Ash and Ash's Corphish. Alakazam used Psychic to counter Corphish's Crabhammer and tossed Corphish into the air. While in the air, Corphish used Bubble Beam but Alakazam was able to counter it with Psybeam, creating a lot of smoke.
While Ash and Corphish were waiting for the smoke to disappear, Anabel ordered Alakazam through telepathy to locate Corphish's location. Alakazam was able to locate Corphish's location and Anabel then ordered it to use Focus Punch. Alakazam went through the smoke and attacked Corphish with Focus Punch, surprising both Ash and Corphish. Corphish recovered from the attack and used Crabhammer. Alakazam however was able to counter it with Focus Punch and then used Psybeam, knocking Corphish out.
Alakazam later also faced Ash's Tauros, dodging Tauros' Take Down attacks. It used Psychic to knock Tauros down, damage it with Focus Punch and defeat it with Psybeam. Ash's last Pokémon was his Pikachu, but before facing it, Alakazam used Recover to restore its health. Pikachu used Iron Tail, for which Alakazam countered the attack with Focus Punch and then attacked with Psybeam. This was able to hit Pikachu and confuse it, causing it to miss while using Volt Tackle. After Pikachu's confusion was over, Pikachu used Thunderbolt and Alakazam used Psybeam - both at max power - but Alakazam was defeated by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.[1]
Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon, and went against Corphish once again. The two sides clashed using Crabhammer and Focus Punch. After using Psybeam to stop Bubble Beam, Alakazam used Psychic to levitate Corphish, stopping its ViceGrip attack. However, as Corphish was thrown away, it launched Bubble Beam, striking Alakazam, who simply used Recover. After using Crabhammer and Focus Punch, Corphish evaded and attacked Alakazam, who quickly fired Psybeam, causing it to become confused. This time, Corphish quickly snapped as it countered Alakazam's Focus Punch with Crabhammer. Ash called Corphish back and sent it immediately out (to cure its confusion) and defeat Alakazam with Bubble Beam.[2]
