Biography[]
Pokémon the Series: The Beginning[]
Otoshi was a Pokémon Trainer who met Ash and his friends on their way to the Indigo Plateau. Otoshi and Ash had a battle, under the terms that the loser had to give up their Gym Badges to the winner. Otoshi used his main Pokémon during the battle, a Marowak, which defeated Ash's Bulbasaur though lost to his Pikachu.
Though Ash was the victor, Otoshi admitted he had no Gym Badges to give since they had been stolen. Otoshi was accused of cheating at first before he clarified that a talking Meowth had stolen his Gym Badges. Ash and his friends immediately knew that the Team Rocket trio was responsible and decided to help him.
Otoshi was briefly abandoned by his Marowak, who was frustrated that he lost the Gym Badges, after all their hard work to obtaining them, and deemed Otoshi too irresponsible for losing his Gym Badges, in additional to being gullible enough to have fallen for the blatant trap of fruit in the middle of a path.
When Otoshi and Ash's group later confronted the Team Rocket trio, Otoshi decided he would use his Doduo to fight Jessie and her Arbok. Otoshi was told by Jessie that if he won, she would return his Gym Badges to him. However, Otoshi lost the battle, so Jessie made an attempt to capture his Doduo before Marowak entered the scene and blocked her from doing so. Marowak forgave Otoshi for losing the Gym Badges and defeated Team Rocket, then Otoshi got his Gym Badges back. Otoshi said goodbye to Ash's group and headed to the Indigo Pokémon League, though Ash and his friends neither saw nor mentioned Otoshi again.
