Season 1 Episode 13: Rat King

Dr. Falco: Darn it! That's not it!

Gothitelle: Falco, please calm down.

Dr. Falco: I'm trying, Gothitelle. But I can't get it. All these formulas for my psychic neuro-chemical aren't working. I hope this one will work this time.

Gothitelle: Right.

He apparently succeeds, but some of the lab rats (that he's been experimenting on/with) then chew through some power lines hanging near the ceiling and the lab subsequently catches on fire.

Gothitelle: Falco! Psy... huh?!

Falco is severely injured, but thanks to his neuro-chemical, he is able to telepathically communicate with the rats and survive.

Dr. Falco: I'm fine, Gothitelle. I'm just fine. (chuckles evilly)

Raph: Hey, Don. Are you going to teach that kid how to be you?

Donnie: Shut up.

Raph: Just saying.

Donnie: Look, it's not my fault he thinks I'm his dad. But everytime I have to leave, he keeps crying until I take him with me. It can be quite annoying sometimes.

Raph: Uh-huh. Whatever.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Splinter and Ninetales: Begin.

At first, Splinter and Kitsune manages to dodge all of their attacks and evade them, but then Leo and Undertow (who is the very last ones standing) finally manages to strike Splinter and Kitsune in the face, but hesitates and once again is defeated.

Vaporeon: Why did we hesitate?!

Ninetales: Because you were afraid that you have harm us very badly. Hesitation isn't always an option. You have to do what you have to do to make things right. Remember that.

Vaporeon and Leo: Hai, Kitsune!

Ninetales: Good. That should be it for today.

Everyone: Whew!

Sandro: That was quite the workout. But Kitsune's right. Hesitation isn't always an option.

Flareon: We know that! But you know, we're so good at this! We don't need Splinter or Kitsune to teach us anymore!

Sandro: That's a bad idea. You need them to teach you. After all, there are so many techniques he haven't shown you until you're much older.

Jolteon: He's a point there...

Sandro: See? Ninjutsu has many skills that are too advanced. And plus, what if you need their advice? It can always help you on things you can't simply do on your own.

Espeon: Have to agree on that...

Sandro: So that's why it's best you should still have your Sensei. Think about it.

White Camilla Clan...

Tsubaki: (dodging)

Maia: Hold still, Lady Tsubaki! (slashing)

Tsubaki: (blocking and dodging) No can do, Maia. (dodges)

Thalia: Take this! (throws throwing stars)

Tsubaki: (blocks with tree branch) Nice one, Thalia.

Aello: Now's my chance! (attacks)

Tsubaki: (dodges) But not fast enough.

Diana: Gotcha! (gets dodged by Tsubaki) What?!

Tsubaki: (chuckles)

Diana: Darn it!

Ritsu: Got you, mom! (strikes Tsubaki)

Tsubaki: Great job, my son. You certainly have improved.

Ritsu: Thanks! (smiles)

Tsubaki: (smiles) Okay, everyone. That should be enough training for today. You can all take a break.

Everyone: Hai!

Ayre: That was some good training.

Bronte: Yeah...

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Diana: We have learn so much! I don't think there's nothing else to teach.

Ritsu: No, there still is. Ninjutsu have many different forms. There's never one to teach. After all, without mom, we would never be able to defeat my dad. The Shredder...

Merope: We know... But is there something else she could teach us?

Ritsu: I don't know but there's always possibilities. I know of it. But don't worry! I want to get stronger! Stronger then my dad! I have to!

Diana: And you have us!

Thalia: We'll defeat the Foot Clan!

Maia and Merope: Right!

Meanwhile, Falco, now severely deformed, living amid millions of rats, and now living underground.

Dr. Falco: Fellow rats, I am your ruler! I am the Rat King! You will all bow down to me! (rats bow down) Good. Onto business, this city treats you all as outcasts! As peasants. As pests. They'll make sure you're destroyed. But not anymore! We will claim New York as ours and everyone will be my slaves to the rats! So my brethren, go out there and claim the city as your own! Show the citizens the power of the rats! (laughing evilly)

The Rat King is a fictional character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles multimedia franchise. The character was created by Jim Lawson and first appeared in the comic Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 written by Jim Lawson and has made various appearances since, in the comic books and other media, such as animated series' and video games. The Rat King was born and raised in Boston and later migrated to New York, he remains one of the more enigmatic characters in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with various appearances depicting him as either a villain, a neutral character and even an ally of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Rat King has distinguishable attire, which consists of filthy, tattered rags and, most prominently, various bandages covering his body. The Rat King has apparent telepathic influence over rats. The Rat King appeared in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, voiced by Jeffrey Combs. In this series, the Rat King was introduced as Victor Falco, a scientist working on a neurochemical that allows him to read thoughts, and ultimately, to anticipate every move the Turtles make. He first appeared in "Monkey Brains," where the Turtles discovered that Falco had been experimenting on his partner, Dr. Tyler Rockwell, and turned him into a humanoid mutant chimpanzee that can read emotions, with Donatello defeating him in a fight by utilizing Splinter's earlier lessons about how to avoid thinking in a fight. In "I, Monster," Falco went into hiding to continue his research in a rat-infested lab before he is subjected to a explosion caused when one of the rats gnawed through an electrical wire that fell into the neurochemical. While explosion left Falco blind and horribly disfigured, it gave him the means to telepathically control rats and see through their eyes. Now gaunt and corpse-like, Falco dubbed himself The Rat King and tried to use his new psychic abilities to manipulate Splinter into fighting and killing his own mutated turtle sons, but Splinter regain control of himself and knocks out Rat King with nothing but two fingers, whose unconscious body was carried away by his rats. In "Of Rats and Men," The Rat King returns and used his abilities to access Splinter's mind for knowledge of the mutagen to create an army of mutant rats under his control. Despite his increasing control of Splinter as he used him to attack the Turtles, Splinter continued to resist Rat King's control, which was broken when Michaelangelo threw his "ice cream kitty" at him, attacking him and breaking his control over Splinter. Though the Rat King had the advantage over Splinter by using both his sight and his pet rat "Aristotle", Splinter managed to remove the Rat King's advantage with their fight concluded when the Rat King's last attempt on Splinter caused him to fall off a high ledge to his death. The Rat King makes a final appearance in "Darkest Plight," after a wounded Splinter ended up falling into the chasm. Rat King proceeds to torture Splinter until he is defeated, revealed to be the product of a fever-induced dream when Splinter comes to and finds the real Rat King's skeletal remains.

Meanwhile...

Personality:

Quiet:

Moris never seems to yell or scream much. She is due mostly from not socializing with people, being to concentrated on her gaming, and muteness (she use to be mute, she started to speak when she was 10).

Laid back:

A perfect day for Moris is relaxing. She never really seems to do anything besides gaming.

Patient:

Moris tries her best to be patient with people, no matter who they are (MIKEY). Reason for this is because Moris believes that everyone wants and needs patience in their lives, soo she uhh.. decided to ahem... be that patient.

Ill tempered:

Once Moris reaches to that point, she becomes STRAIGHT UP METAL. LiKE IM NOT EVEN JOKING. .METAL. You know what, don't even try to make her angry, she'll like break . . .body. Heck she might even kill you. So like I said don't try to MAKE HER ANGRY. I REPEAT, DONT TRY TO MAKE HER ANGRY. I REPEAT AGAIN, DONT TRY TO MAKE HER ANGRY. I REPEAT ONE LAST TIME, DONT TRY TO MAKE HER ANGRY.

Simple minded:

Moris tends to get embaressed when something big happens to her, so she tries her hardest to keep everything... Simple.

Boyish:

Instead of shopping for cute clothes, painting nails, doing girlish stuff, she wears boyish clothes, play video games, etc, etc, and etc. She feel like feminism doesn't suit her well.

Rita: The rat?

Moris: Yes. The rat. He was gone by the time I woke up.

Rita: Maybe you forgot to lock the cage up.

Moris: Maybe. But even if I was so tired, I always lock the cage up. I do it every night. I'm gonna go out and find him before anything bad happens to him. (gets dressed and leaves) Huh?

Moris saws tons of rats running.

Moris: Whoa. Never thought this could happen. But, something doesn't seem right. As if someone or something has program them into this.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Rarity (hanging onto pole): (screaming) Rats?! I hate rats! Someone do something!

Rarity is a white-coated unicorn with violet, curled hair who is based on the "G1" ponies Glory and Sparkler[24] and named after the "G3" pony. She is a ladylike fashionista who speaks with a Mid-Atlantic accent and runs a haute couture salon in Ponyville called Carousel Boutique. Despite her vain and melodramatic tendencies, she has a generous spirit and strives to create dresses that capture their wearers' inner beauty.[25[26] She owns a pet persian cat named Opalescence, commonly nicknamed Opal. Faust's original idea for Rarity's Element of Harmony was "inspiration", but it was changed to "generosity" after the production team deemed the former "too much of a thinker, especially for kids." Faust was pleased with the change, saying it "really helped pull [Rarity] away from the stereotypical, unlikable debutante."[8] She cites Audrey Hepburn as her biggest influence for Rarity[27] and also says that Tabitha St. Germain's performance "added a humor to Rarity that was unexpected and wonderful."[22]

April (hanging onto pole): What's going on?! Why are they so many rats?!

Rockruff: I don't know but we need to call them! Now!

April: Right! This is becoming an epidemic! (starts calling)

Dennis: Everyone, get to a high place!

Claire: And quickly! No time to stop! All roads are closed!

Fluttershy: Whoa... This is too much. Um, excuse me. May I... oh. Oh, excuse me. Excuse me?

Bunnelby: They're not listening!

Fluttershy: Don't worry. I got this. Element of Kindness! Huh?

Bunnelby: It didn't work?! Impossible!

Moris: That's because they're being mind-controlled.

Bunnelby: Mind-controlled?!

Moris: Yup. I could tell by the frequency.

Fluttershy: Frequency?

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Oktokki: Wow... Too many jwi... {Translation: rats...}

Kito: A little too many to count. This is quite strange. Does rats usually come out during the day?

Oktokki: Ani. {Translation: No.} They come out during the night since they're nocturnal. But they do appear in dark places where there's no sun like in the sewers.

Kito: I see...

Felicia: Looks like you saw what happen!

Together: Huh?!

Maia: We all did.

Aello: This is ridiculous! Why are these rats attacking New York like this?!

Thalia: I don't know! Maybe they have lost their cheese and they're angry about it!

Diana: Get serious, Thalia! If we don't stop these rats, New York will be infested by them!

Cindy: Agree!

April: Guys! So glad you come! We need help!

Mikoto: And fast!

Donnie: Hold on, everyone!

An-D: Alrea'y doin' dhat, dude!

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Tiffany: Just hold on! (starts dancing gracefully to control plants) Now just hold on to the vines and you'll be okay.

Mikoto: And you promise not to drop us?

Tiffany: I always promise. Just grab on!

Everyone: Right! (grabs onto vine and Tiffany puts them on rooftop)

Donnie: Are you okay, April?!

April: I'm fine. No worries.

Rosabella: And we're fine too. Thank you.

Rosabella Beauty is a 2014-introduced and all-around character. She is part of Beauty and the Beast as the next Beauty, and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she's a Rebel because she believes that her destiny is not as important as helping others - for example, helping beasts and fighting for equality. As an animal-lover, Rosabella is more than willing to give up her Happily Ever After for her own personal beliefs. Rosabella is a passionate young girl with a tender heart for creatures, especially beasts who are treated badly by Fairy Tale society. She fights for what she wants, and selflessly campaigns for the better treatment of beastly students. She considers all animals beautiful, no matter how homely they may appear. In addition to her activist spirit, Rosabella is bookish, intelligent, and intuitive. She enjoys reading and writing when she isn't campaigning for animal rights. She has the magical ability to see people for who they really are, in the form of colored auras she can decipher. She's also an effective leader and organizer for her causes, and is able to appeal to people's true senses. Rosabella has wavy, brown hair streaked with pinkish auburn-red pulled away from her round face. She has olive skin and dark brown eyes (light pinkish-amber pink eyes in the webisodes), with plump cheeks and angled brows. She's usually wearing glasses, and accentuating her outfits with faux fur - as she stands strong against the use of real fur, due to beast cruelty. Rosabella also has darker red streaks in her hair in the webisodes. Rosabella normally hangs around in Book End as a window of opportunity to catch people's attention whenever she takes up her role as an animal rights activist. She does a lot of protests about animals. She is also part of the Royal Student Council.

Leo: And you are...?

Rosabella: Rosabella Beauty.

Ashlynn: And Ashlynn Ella.

Ashlynn Ella is s 2013-introduced and all-around character. She is part of Cinderella as the next Cinderella, and she is a student at Ever After High. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Royal side out of a general belief that destiny is the way to go, even though she loves Hunter Huntsman, who is a rebel and from a different fairytale. Ashlynn's interests are divided over three topics: shoes, nature, and Hunter Huntsman. She holds a job at The Glass Slipper both to indulge her obsession and to enforce the humble, hard-working attitude her mother instilled in her. Ashlynn enjoys long strolls in the Enchanted Forest and getting her hands dirty with earth and plant material, even if it is not befitting one of royal heritage. She has a unique ability to communicate with animals, who help her out sometimes. She shares this interest with Hunter, whom she dates despite not being allowed to, to the mixed feelings of the other students. Ashlynn is shy and soft spoken but has a big heart and is always ready to help. A huge fan of nature and animals, she loves to speak to the squirrels and bunnies but also takes time to stop and smell the roses. Ashlynn also likes to be punctual, since if she arrives late her dress transforms into rags. Though she will go from rags to riches like her mother Cinderella, Ashlynn is by no means superficial instead she is humble and down to earth and does not wish to follow her destiny simply because of a pretty ball gown, but instead because she believes it's the right thing. She is a Libra, as her birthday is October 14th, and she is very friendly, especially with animals. Ashlynn has long strawberry blond hair pulled into a pumpkin-shaped bump and tied with a braid. She has emerald green eyes, peach skin, and pink lipstick. Her theme colors are aquamarine and coral pink. Ashlynn enjoys combining floral color or patterns to her outfit, as this shows that she's a nature enthusiast. While Ashlynn seems like an archetypal princess at first glance, she's actually a fairly hardworking girl with nature-loving interests that many seem to scoff at. She considers it her responsibility to care for the world around her, likely thanks in part to her magical ability to talk to animals, plants, and other fairy tale creatures that inhabit the forests of the Fairy Tale world. Ashlynn spends much of her free time with Hunter in the Enchanted Forest, either just relaxing romantically or caring for the plants and woodland creatures. Ashlynn also has a notable obsession with shoes, working at the Glass Slipper to indulge her love for footwear.

Raph: Rosabella and Ashlynn? You don't seem to belong here. Those outfits are...

Rarity: Beautifully gorgeous! I love the design and the decor! Definitely has the princess feel!

Rosabella: Oh thank you.

Fluttershy: Guys, this is my friend Rarity.

Rarity: Charmed to meet you.

Fluttershy: And this person is Moris. She says she can communicate with rats.

Mikey: You can?! Awesome!

Kathleen: Yeah~desu!

Raph: You gotta be joking.

Moris: No joke. You see, these rats are being controlled by someone or something. I don't know who or what it is but it's as if they're being programmed into this. My pet rat Derpy is missing so I believe someone or something is controlling him.

Leo: I see... How could you tell?

Moris: Frequency. That's all.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Angela: Frequency?

Moris: (nods) Do you know any rats in particular?

Everyone: (gasps) Splinter and Tsubaki!

Ritsu: Mom's in trouble! We gotta get back and save her before she gets mind-controlled too!

Leo: As well as Splinter.

Mikey: Let's go!

Everyone: Right!

Back in the Sewer Lair...

Splinter: (sleeping)

Ninetales: (sleeping then wakes up) I sense some kind of presence. I know you're here. Nothing to hide, coward.

Rat King: So you have sense my presence, young Pokemon. Impressive. It's just like they said.

Splinter: Who are you?

Rat King: I am the Rat King. Your master. Your ruler.

Ninetales: What do you want?!

Rat King: Do I have to remind you of your past life and everything you have been through? Unleash your inner-rat and join me.

Splinter: Never! I will never join you!

Rat King: I see... But you will one way or another. You'll see...

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Tsubaki...

Tsubaki: (meditating) Hm? What's this? Who are you and what are your intentions?

Rat King: I am the Rat King. Your master. Your ruler. I see you have a son eh?

Tsubaki: I know what you're trying to do. I won't join you. Not for the sake of my son. I love him dearly. And that goes to the rest of my family.

Rat King: I see... But you will join me one way or another. Unleash your inner-rat.

Tsubaki: No! I won't! I refuse!

Rat King: What a stubborn rat you are. But even the most stubborn will succumb to my mind-control. You'll see.

Tsubaki: (opens eyes)

Ritsu: Mom!

Tsubaki: Ritsu? I'm so glad you're here. I saw someone that goes by the name of Rat King. He's trying to control both me and Splinter's minds.

Maia: So that's the person who's behind this.

Thalia: How cruel!

Tsubaki: Ritsu, may I speak to you alone?

Ritsu: Sure thing, mom. (after the others left)

Tsubaki: Ritsu, if I suddenly attack you, I want you to know that I'm being controlled by the Rat King. Also, if anything happens to me when I'm being in controlled, I should tell you that I will always love you no matter what. You understand?

Ritsu: Yeah, mom. I know you. You wouldn't attack me without reason. And I love you too. (smiles)

Tsubaki: (smiles) That's good to hear. I don't want you to worry so much about me, okay?

Ritsu: I know, mom. But we need to stop the Rat King somehow. You should head to the lair and we'll go with the others.

Tsubaki: I believe it's for the best.

Ritsu: Right.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Lair...

Ky: This is gonna be awesome! We're going to meet AND fight the Rat King!

Kaddy: But remember, this is for Splinter and Tsubaki's sake.

April: You sure you can look after them?

Spongebob: NO problem! Spongebob Squarepants, reporting for duty! (chuckles)

Rockruff: Hm? Hey, who's the kid here?!

Donnie: What kid?! (attempts to hide Galileo) I don't see no kid!

Rockruff: (pushes Galileo) Care to explain?

Donnie: Um... Well... You see...

April: Aw, he's so adorable. Does he have a name?

Mikey: Galileo! That's his name! I name it myself!

April: Galileo? So cute! (picks up) It's so adorable!

Donnie: Uh, yeah! Adorable! But you see, whenever I tried to leave, he starts crying.

April: Well, maybe you should give him something. Something that... reminds him of you.

Espeon: I know what you're talking about! (uses Psychic to levitate blanket) Donnie's old blanket! That should keep him calm for a moment.

Jolteon: Why didn't I think of that?! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Ryuko: Now come on! We better hurry!

Everyone: Right!

Rosabella: We'll stay here and watch them.

Ashlynn: Make it back safely!

Everyone: We will!

Fluttershy: Poor rats... This "Rat King" must be stopped immediately.

Rarity: But where is he hiding at, darling?! He could be anywhere!

Leo: Just focus and keep your eyes peeled. You'll never know who's here or... (shrieks)

Leona: (shrieks) I'm so sorry I scared you like that!

Leo: I didn't expect anyone to be down here!

Maria: We didn't mean to trepass but...

Stella: We have to hide from those rats that's terrorizing New York! Duh!

An-D: Stella! Wha' are ya doin' here?!

Stella: An-D?! You know them?!

Shiny Rockruff: (chuckles) Of course we do! We know them longer then you do! After all, we have to keep it a secret from everyone. Including you.

Felistar: But we're good at keeping secrets!

Vaporeon: But we found that humans treat mutants if they don't know we exist.

Stella: I see...

Stella R.: Wait, you're name is Stella? I'm Stella!

Stella: What a coincidence!

Stella R.: Coincidence, indeed.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Melany: Guys, check it out.

Chloe: A junction underground? Cool...

Ky: So is this the right directions?!

Cindy: Don't know! But it's a long way down!

Fluttershy: R-R-R-Right.

Moris: (grunts)

Leona: Something wrong?

Moris: The frequency... There's a gigantic wave of rats coming this way...

Everyone: Gigantic?!

Moris: Yup. It's coming this way now.

A gigantic wave of rats appears.

Leo: How is that...?

April: Just run~!

Moris: No. I know how to deal with them.

Flareon: With what?! Mouse traps?! Cheese?!

Moris: Music. Derpy always listen to my taste of music. (plugs off headphones and turns on music) This is Nightcore singing Titanium.

Kathleen: Oh~, I love this music! (starts dancing)

Maria: Huh? It's working?

Rarity: She's actually stopping them!

Moris: (picks up Derpy) Derpy, there you are. I thought I would never find you. (listening) I know. I already forgiven you. Nothing to worry about.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Mikey and An-D: Cool...

Oktokki: Geuga mwolagohadeongayo?! {Translation: What's he saying?!}

Moris: I didn't even ask first. Just wait. So do you know where we could find the Rat King? (listening) You do? Where? Follow you? Okay. Derpy says you should follow him. He knows the way to the Rat King.

Kito: That was quick.

Back in the Lair...

Rosabella: How are they?

Ashlynn: Good so far. But I'm getting worried.

Ninetales: Me too. Hope they have made it in time.

Splinter's and Tsubaki's Minds...

Tsubaki: Rat King, we won't join you!

Rat King: Really? You're no longer needed. Your paths in life is now determined only by my hands.

Tsubaki: Never!

Rat King: What?! You have blocked your mind?!

Tsubaki: Yes! I won't let you control me! Yoshi, block your mind before...!

Rat King: Too late.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Finally, the fiend manages to take full control over Splinter and has rendered him helpless to find to defend himself in any way, shape, or form.

Tsubaki: No!

Rat King: Yes!

Reality...

Ninetales: Splinter?

Tsubaki: He's in control of the Rat King! (blocks attack)

Rosabella: Oh no!

Tsubaki: Hamato Yoshi, snap out of it!

Rat King: Splinter, come to your master.

Splinter leaves.

Spongebob: Follow...!

Edd: That rat! Hurry!

Meanwhile...

Moris: Is this the place?

Rarity: Whoa... Everything's so old and worn-out. It needs an upgrade.

Tiffany: Agree.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Melody (in a cage): Hey! Can you help me?!

Melody Piper is a 2013-introduced and all-around character. She is the daughter of the Pied Piper from Pied Piper of Hamelin. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Rebel side because she wants music to bring people together instead of luring one another away which happens in her story. Her father encourages Melody to follow her heart and pursue her love of music such as being an inspirational DJ, which to Melody, is just a stepping stone in the process of what she truly wants music to become. Melody is a DJ with considerable talent, if the fact that she's Briar Beauty's favorite is anything to go by. She doesn't seem to care about Headmaster Grimm and his rules much as she interrupts him to start the party and skip the speech. She always wants everybody to have a good time. She doesn't speak much but lets her music do it for her, like controlling her dragon or consoling Daring. Melody has lavender-white hair streaked dark purple, violet-brown eyes, and olive skin. Melody's type of style is noticed as classy, yet edgy, spunky, and a hint of rebel rocker. She enjoys splashing some black accents in her clothing and ornate patterns with musical notes. Being Ever After's most inspiring DJ, Melody's interests are comprised of creating mixes or changing them. In her spare time, she usually hangs around her dorm and listens or downloads music. According to Melody's diary, she and her father are both Rebels "at heart", but despite both of them being "both Rebels at heart", Melody has advanced to write her own destiny, while her father got trapped using a flute to summon mice and rats.

Kathleen: Who are you?!

Melody: I'm Melody Piper.

Mikey: Melody Piper?! Isn't that from that story...?

Melody: Peter Piper? He's my dad.

Jolteon: Dad?!

Melody: Yup. Look, I can control the rats but I need to get out of here.

Fluttershy: Just hold on! We're coming! (flies to cage)

Melody: Thanks but you better hurry up before...

Pinky: Rat King, we have intruders! Narf!

Pinky (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is another genetically modified mouse who shares the same cage as Brain at Acme Labs. Although intelligent in his own right, Pinky is an extremely unstable and hyperactive mouse. He has several verbal tics, such as "narf", "zort", "poit", and "troz" (the last of which he started saying after noticing it was "zort in the mirror"). Pinky's appearance is the complete opposite of Brain's—while Brain is short, has a crooked tail and pink eyes, and speaks in a deeper, more eloquent manner, Pinky has a straight tail, blue eyes, and a severe overbite, is taller than the Brain, and speaks in a higher pitched voice with a Cockney accent. Pinky's name was inadvertently given to him by Brain himself: when insulting the two scientists responsible for their gene splicing while talking to himself, Brain claimed the scientists had "less knowledge in both their heads than I do in my... pinky!" Pinky then responded with "Yes?", believing Brain was referring to him.[8] Pinky is more open-minded, kinder, and happier than the Brain. Troubles never ruin his day, arguably because he is too scatter-brained to notice them. He steadfastly helps Brain toward world domination, even though Brain usually berates, belittles, and abuses him. Pinky actually seems to enjoy this, laughing after he is hit. He is obsessed with trivia, spending a lot of time watching television in the lab and following popular culture fads. Sometimes Pinky even finds non-rational solutions to problems. An entire episode (entitled "The Pinky P.O.V.") even shows a typical night of attempted world domination from his point of view, showing his thought process and how he comes to the strange, seemingly nonsensical responses to the Brain's famous question, "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Pinky often points out flaws in the Brain's plans, which the Brain consistently ignores. The issues Pinky brings up can ironically lead to the downfall of the given night's plot. He is also arguably Brain's moral compass and only real friend. When Pinky sold his soul to get Brain the world in "A Pinky and the Brain Halloween", Brain saved him because he missed him and the world was not worth ruling without him. Pinky also has shown signs of intelligence despite his supposed childish stupidity. In "Welcome to the Jungle", Pinky was able to survive using his instincts and become a leader to Brain, who, despite his intelligence, could not survive in the wild on his own. And in "The Pink Candidate", when Pinky became President, he later began citing various constitutional amendments and legal problems that would bar Brain from his latest plot to take over the world. When Brain attempted to pressure him into helping, Pinky refused, claiming that the plan "goes against everything I've come to stand for."

Brain: And lots of them.

The Brain (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) looks and sounds a little like Orson Welles. In "What Ever Happened to Baby Brain", Brain actually crosses paths with Welles (voiced by Jim Cummings), who is working as a busboy in a Hollywood restaurant; they find themselves inadvertently yelling in unison, "Things will be different when I take over the world!" In "Project B.R.A.I.N." Brain's name is the backronym for the eponymous project: "Biological Recombinant Algorithmic Intelligence Nexus".[8] His tail is bent like a staircase—he often uses it to pick the lock of the cage—and his head is large and wide, housing his abnormally large brain. He is highly intelligent and develops complex plans for global domination using politics, cultural references, and his own inventions toward his goal. He seems coldly unemotional, speaking in a snarky deadpan. Nevertheless, Brain has a subtle sense of humor and has even fallen in love; with Trudie in the episode "The Third Mouse" and with Billie in "The World Can Wait".[11] Due to his stature and megalomania, Brain has been compared to Don Quixote[12] and a pop culture depiction of Napoleon Bonaparte.[13] Brain sees his inevitable rise to power as good for the world, and not mere megalomania. In Wakko's Wish, he said to Pinky "We're on our way to fame, fortune and a world that's a better place for all." Many of the Brain's plots had the endgame of winning over the people's hearts and having them make him their ruler. However, his motives are not pure. In one episode, Brain finds himself hypnotized by a psychologist he had planned to manipulate for one of his schemes, who turns out to be none other than Sigmund Freud. There Brain reveals that he originally lived with his parents in a tin can at the base of a tree in a large field. When he was young, ACME researchers captured Brain and took him from his home, and the last he saw of it was a picture of the world on the side of the can. Dr. Freud speculates that Brain's hunger to take over the world is misplaced, and that all he really wants is to go back home to his parents.[14] According to the creators, Brain wants to take over the world not for the sake of being a dictator, like his rival Snowball, but because he believes that he could do a much better job of it than the people currently in charge. Brain has even helped save the world by doing everything in his power to prevent Snowball's evil schemes, knowing that a world under Snowball's rule would be the worst-case scenario.

Moris: Help us out, Rattle.

Rattata: Rattata!

Rattata is a small, quadruped rodent Pokémon. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents, its teeth grow continuously throughout its life and must be worn down by gnawing. The top half of its body is light purple, while the lower half is cream-colored. It has a pair of thin, cream-colored whiskers and a long tail that curls at the tip. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream fur on its stomach. Females have shorter whiskers and lighter fur color. Rattata can live wherever it can find food, which it searches for most of the day. Thanks to its sharp fangs, it is able to eat nearly anything. When it is threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. Its large teeth are also useful when using its former signature moves, Hyper Fang and Super Fang. Its hardiness lets it live in many environments, although it mainly lives on plains and savannas. Because it reproduces so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area.

Moris: Use Scratch.

Rattata: Scratch! (Splinter dodges)

Ninetales: Flamethrower! (Splinter dodges) He's quick.

Leona: Let's go, Siren!

Lapras: Lapras!

Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a plesiosaur. It has a spotted, blue hide with a cream underside. Its neck is long, and it has large black eyes. There is a short horn in the middle of its forehead and curled ears placed farther back on its head. Instead of legs, it has four flippers with the foremost pair being larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs. Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. However, this docility has made it an easy target for hunters, who have nearly driven it to extinction. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. It has been known to travel the seas in large pods. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In the anime it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. Lapras is native to the seas.
