Lara Laramie (Japanese: フウコ・ララミー Fūko Laramie) is a character of the day in the episode The Flame Pokémon-athon and an adapted character for the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. Her English voice actress is Lisa Ortiz and her Japanese voice actor is Yuri Shiratori.

In the anime

Lara and her family own the Laramie Ranch, an area just outside of the Kanto Safari Zone. Lara and her Ponyta and Growlithe helps guard the ranch from Pokémon poachers.

Lara was going to enter a race with her Ponyta when Team Rocket, working for Dario, caused an accident that lead to her breaking her arm. Lara was saddened, but quickly realized that Ash could ride her Ponyta in the race.

Ash and Ponyta entered the race, and they were able to successfully defeat Dario, and all the other trainers, and win the race. In the process, Lara's Ponyta evolved into a Rapidash.

In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Lara appeared in the same role in Electric Tale of Pikachu. As in the anime, she was injured and Ash rode her Ponyta, evolving it into Rapidash in the process. The only differences between the two plots are that, in the manga, Dario injured Lara without Team Rocket's involvement, Ash volunteers to ride without Lara asking him, and Ponyta immediately allows Ash to ride it rather than being afraid of him.
