Lila

For the Frontier Brain whose Japanese name is often read as Lila, see Salon Maiden Anabel.

Lila (Japanese: ユリ Yuri) is the character of the day in Battling the Generation Gap!. She is voiced by 冬馬由美 Yumi Tōma in Japanese and Sarah Natochenny in English. Her hometown is Celestic Town, where she is also known as the "Tiger Lily of Celestic Town".

It was revealed that she was once Johanna's old rival. She first appeared as a child in a flashback battling Johanna in a Contest, in which she won her fourth ribbon. She was also the first person to ever defeat Johanna in contests. However she got the offer of studying for becoming a Pokémon stylist abroad and decided to quit being a Coordinator after discussing it with Johanna. She started her own fashion store as well. She also designed Wallace's outfit for contests.

After watching her rival's daughter, Dawn participating in Contests she decided to enter a contest once more. She entered the Celestic Town as did Dawn where she aimed to battle her similarly to how she battled against her mother. Both of them made it to the finals and after a hard fought battle, Dawn won the Celestic Ribbon.

After the contest, Lila let Ash and the others pick out outfits from her shop free of charge.

Trivia

• It is confirmed that Lila's Delcatty is a male because in its battle with Dawn's Ambipom, its Cute Charm ability went into effect on Ambipom, who is female, one of the few instances that a Pokémon's gender is confirmed.
• Her title of "Tiger Lily" may have come from her Pokémon, Delcatty, based from a feline (like a tiger), and Cherrim, based on a plant (like a lily).
