Number 6 (Japanese:6番No. 6) is one of Ethan's Pokémon that is used to store and power local towns with electricity, but it was not loyal like the others. It is identifiable due to its uniquely bent magnets. It first appeared as aMagnemite with the group in Ethan's care. When they were set free to relax, all of the Magnemite went off in different directions. But later, when the Magnemite were all rallied back together thanks to Ethan'sJolteon which used its electricity to attract them, Number 6 wandered off, but was soon corralled by Jolteon.

However, none of the Magnemite obey Ash and wander off.Pikachu manages to do Jolteon's job and brings all the Magnemite back, except Number 6. Ash finds it near a stream butTeam Rocket is also there. They use static electricity to pull all of the Magnemite, including Number 6, which Ash is still holding onto.

Trivia

  • Ethan's name and appearance is based on the character Ethan Edwards from the 1956 western classicThe Searchers, starring legendary action heroJohn Wayne, who played Ethan Edwards in the film. Ethan's Japanese name, フォードFord, is a homage to the legendary director ofThe Searchers and many other westerns,John Ford. But unlike Wayne's character in the western classic, who is a rugged, despicable anti-hero, Ethan is kind and gentle. John Wayne starred in many films directed by John Ford.
