Professor Ivy's assistants
Professor Ivy's assistants, also known collectively as the triplets (Japanese: ウチキド博士の助手の三つ子 Dr. Uchikido's triplet assisants) are three women who live with Professor Ivy on Valencia Island and help with her research work. Their individual Japanese names are ミナミ Minami, ツナミ Tsunami and コナミ Konami. Their individual English names are unknown, since they are not mentioned in the anime. They appeared in Poké Ball Peril. Minami's Japanese voice actor is 大谷育江 Ikue Ohtani, Tsunami's Japanese voice actor is かないみか Mika Kanai, and Konami's Japanese voice actor is こおろぎさとみ Satomi Kōrogi.
Though they are useful as research assistance, the three women are not particularly good at domestic duties. Their need for someone to handle the cooking and cleaning around the house reminded Brock of his family, which is one reason why he stayed behind as an assistant for Professor Ivy instead of traveling with Ash through the Orange Islands.
