Karna

Karna

Karna (Japanese: カーナ Khana) is a character of the day who appeared in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. She is a Poké Ball developer who lives in the Galar region.

History

In The Stolen Treasure, Karna was an unseen character, negotiating with Tepen over the phone for one of the Ancient Poké Balls that belonged to Liko and Roy. This situation made Liko, Roy and Friede think that everything was a situation created by the Explorers. When the situation was resolved, Tepen revealed the real identity of his contractor and where her warehouse was located.

In Orla and the Poké Ball Smith, Karna met Orla, Friede, Liko and Roy when one of their machines malfunctioned, very hospitable, Roy showed Karna the Poké Ball belonging to Rayquaza that is in his possession. As the day went on, Karna and Orla repaired the machines in Karna's workshop, who suggested that Orla start helping Karna permanently. During a situation involving a horde of Galarian Weezing, Karna and Orla joined forces to increase the factory's production so that the Poison Gas Pokémon can feed on the pollution generated by the chimneys. After everything returned to normal, Orla revealed to Karna that she couldn't help her, and Karna understood, but gave Orla one of her creations, a special Poké Ball.

Character

In the past, Karna was taught by her former master that the Poké Ball should bring out the best in each Pokémon. Karna took this teaching with her by creating several varieties of Poké Ball, each with a specific purpose. Karna quickly became friends with Orla, largely because of their common interests.
