Unfortunately for Rhonda, the camera had run out of batteries so she could not cover the story.

History

Rhonda made her debut appearance in The Champ Twins!, where she was seen doing a story on a Pokémon Training Camp, focusing on two of the camp's Trainers and their ability to test the strength of any Trainer they challenge. She asked Ryan and Bryan to take a few shots of their Tag Battle with Ash and Dawn and, when the two teams agreed, she and the Sinnoh Now crew began covering their battle, which ended in a loss for Ash and Dawn. Later, the crew was seen filming Team Rocket while they were trying to escape with Bryan's Croconaw and Ryan's Quilava. Ash and Dawn appeared at that moment and managed to send them blasting off with the help of their Turtwig and Piplup. After that, Ash and Dawn had another Tag Battle with Ryan and Bryan, with Rhonda once again filming. They were able to defeat the twin brothers this time, breaking their winning streak. Much to their delight, Rhonda later said she would not air the first battle because the last one had much better combinations.

Rhonda seems to be a very dedicated and determined reporter, going to lengths to get her story, but hates having to do one of her crewman's work if they can't do it themselves, confirmed in Mass Hip-Po-Sis. An example was in Our Cup Runneth Over!, where she hid in the bushes with her crew so she could keep an eye on Wallace. Unfortunately for Rhonda, the camera had run out of batteries so she could not cover the story. Rhonda later appeared in Beating the Bustle and Hustle! to cover the auditions for Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle that were being held near Lake Acuity, not realizing it was actually a Team Rocket scheme to steal all the participants' Pokémon.
