Willow is a Treecko in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. She is Chamomile's partner and the cofounder of Team Rose Thorn.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
Episode 1: Waking Up on the Other Side
On the outskirts of the Tiny Woods, Willow found an unconscious Skitty and roused him. She was relieved to find him all right, though confused at his claim that he was human and his apparent amnesia. He remembers that his name is Chamomile, which Willow chuckles at before a frantic Butterfree comes by, worrying about her son Caterpie who fell into a fissure. At Willow's prompting, she and Chamomile head into the Tiny Woods to save him.
Chamomile's Fake Out makes quick work of most Pokémon in their path, whether asleep or awake, and with Willow's Quick Attack and Dragon Breath attacks backing him up, they reach the third basement without a scratch, finding Caterpie crying. They return him to his mother and receive thanks from both of them; when they leave, Willow asks Chamomile what he'll do next, and after receiving no response, leads him to a hut to live in and proposes to form a Rescue Team to help Pokémon like Caterpie. Chamomile refuses at first, but caves to Willow's begging and she gives him a red scarf to commemorate the occasion, donning a blue one herself. Chamomile chooses the name Team Rose Thorn and promises to do their best beginning the next day.
Episode 2: Another Dynamo Duo
Excited about founding the team, Willow arrived at Chamomile's new home at dawn to wait for him, but dozed off. Chamomile woke her later that morning, and she chuckles and apologizes for falling asleep. After an exuberant exclamation to begin the rescue team, she sheepishly added that they didn't have any requests yet. She checked the house's mailbox and found the rescue team starter kit, including a badge and toolbox, but no requests. Promptly, a Pelliper arrived and delivered a message to the mailbox, requesting help for a pair of Magnemite stuck together in Thunderwave Cave. Chamomile declined the offer twice, but once again conceded out of a desire to earn Willow's friendship.
Arriving at the cave, they found two Magnemite waiting outside, who told them that their friends were in the sixth basement. Team Rose Thorn entered and had little trouble with the hostile Pokémon within; Chamomile spent a bit of time and stamina playing around with Willow, chasing her back and headbutting her gently, which also helped them practice maneuvering around each other. With this continued practice, they navigated through their opponents with ease, Willow often hanging back to pick up items or line up her Dragon Breath attacks. Almost halfway through, Chamomile grew to Level 6, and shortly thereafter, he gave Willow leadership for a bit. Chamomile took out a Poochyena as Willow approached it, allowing Willow to grow to Level 6 as well. Chamomile cautioned that they should be careful and Willow cautioned against female Nidoran and encouraged them forward.
It grew a bit difficult near the end as Willow ran out of Dragon Breath and Chamomile took a few hits, getting paralyzed by an Elekid and coming close to fainting with hunger on the final stretch. Willow took command, gently pushing Willow partway there and allowing him to walk on his own as they reached the sixth basement, rescued the trapped Magnemite, and returned home.
Willow confessed afterward that she was glad it had gone well but had been very nervous since it was their first time. Tired, she returned to the Overgrown Forest in the east, and Chamomile retired to his bed as well.
Why Emile Chose Treecko
Artwork of Chamomile and Willow as seen in Episode 1: Waking Up on the Other Side.
Emile spent several minutes offscreen debating his partner Pokémon from the 13 options available; he wanted to choose something good but interesting to watch, which ruled out Mudkip, as well as an option he was unlikely to be able to use in a future LP, which ruled out Charmander and Squirtle. He ultimately decided on this unorthodox Grass-type, which is lightning-fast, a heavy hitter, focuses more on draining foes' HP than inflicting them with status conditions, and has Dragon Breath as a starting move, a ranged attack that few Pokémon resist.
Moves
- Quick Attack (Episode 1—Present)
- Absorb (Episode 1—Present)
- Dragon Breath (Episode 1—Present)
- Iron Tail (Episode 1—Present)
Nickname Origin
Initially, Emile planned on not giving Willow a nickname, but everyone he spoke to before the LP dissuaded him and encouraged him to insert his creativity into the adventure. Willow is a female name that comes from willow trees, which Emile thought was appropriate for a wood gecko.[1]
Trivia
Willow's dialogue avatar.
- Willow is the second of the Generation III starters that Emile has used, the first being Moegami, his Pokemon Emerald starter.
- Emile had the choice to choose either a male or female companion, and he chose female since Treecko as a species was rarely thought of as female, which complemented Chamomile being a male Skitty.[1]
