[[File:Sakura Kimono.png|thumb|left|220px|Sakura in full costume]] | |||
Sakura debuted in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. She struck a friendship with {{an|Misty}} after learning both were both the youngest in their families and had similar experiences with their older sisters. While she was training to be a [[Kimono Girl]] like her sisters, she dreamed of becoming a [[Pokémon Trainer]] instead and looked forward to challenging the [[Johto League]]. She even considered joining {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after witnessing Ash's group battling her sisters, she decided she wanted to train by herself first before embarking on her own journey. | |||
In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the group | In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Sakura reunited with the group while passing through [[Ecruteak City]]. By this time, her {{p|Eevee}} had [[Evolution|evolved]] into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}. She used Espeon in a battle against [[Misty's Corsola]], though she lost the match. She later helped the group to save her sisters' stolen Pokémon from {{TRT}}. Afterwards, she decided she was ready to go on her own journey, and with her sisters' permission, she began her journey towards [[Violet City]]. | ||
In ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', Sakura was revealed to be challenging Gyms. She visited Misty in [[Cerulean City]] and mentioned that she already had three Gym Badges by that point: the {{badge|Storm}}, the {{badge|Zephyr}}, and the {{badge|Hive}}. After she helped Misty in rescuing [[Kinso]]'s stolen Badges from the [[Gym Badge thieves]], Sakura had a battle against Misty's Corsola once again. This time, Espeon was victorious, thus earning Sakura her fourth Badge, the {{badge|Cascade}}. | |||
=== | ====Character==== | ||
Sakura shares a lot of parallels with {{an|Misty}}. In particular, she desired independence because she felt she never fit in with many of her sisters' activities and training regiments as [[Kimono Girl]]s. Her encounter with Misty eventually motivated her to go on her own journey. By the end of ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Sakura put her training into practice, leading the offensive against {{TRT}} and recovering her sisters' stolen Pokémon, in the process showing how far she had come as a Trainer compared to her old lifestyle. | |||

Sakura (Japanese: サクラ Sakura), known as Sayo in the English language versions of the games, is a Pokémon Trainer who lives with her sisters, the Kimono Sisters, in Ecruteak City.
In the anime
Main series
Sakura debuted in Trouble's Brewing. She struck a friendship with Misty after learning both were both the youngest in their families and had similar experiences with their older sisters. While she was training to be a Kimono Girl like her sisters, she dreamed of becoming a Pokémon Trainer instead and looked forward to challenging the Johto League. She even considered joining Ash and his friends on their journey. However, after witnessing Ash's group battling her sisters, she decided she wanted to train by herself first before embarking on her own journey.
In Espeon, Not Included, Sakura reunited with the group while passing through Ecruteak City. By this time, her Eevee had evolved into an Espeon. She used Espeon in a battle against Misty's Corsola, though she lost the match. She later helped the group to save her sisters' stolen Pokémon from Team Rocket. Afterwards, she decided she was ready to go on her own journey, and with her sisters' permission, she began her journey towards Violet City.
In The Blue Badge of Courage, Sakura was revealed to be challenging Gyms. She visited Misty in Cerulean City and mentioned that she already had three Gym Badges by that point: the Storm Badge, the Zephyr Badge, and the Hive Badge. After she helped Misty in rescuing Kinso's stolen Badges from the Gym Badge thieves, Sakura had a battle against Misty's Corsola once again. This time, Espeon was victorious, thus earning Sakura her fourth Badge, the Cascade Badge.
Character
Sakura shares a lot of parallels with Misty. In particular, she desired independence because she felt she never fit in with many of her sisters' activities and training regiments as Kimono Girls. Her encounter with Misty eventually motivated her to go on her own journey. By the end of Espeon, Not Included, Sakura put her training into practice, leading the offensive against Team Rocket and recovering her sisters' stolen Pokémon, in the process showing how far she had come as a Trainer compared to her old lifestyle.
