Shauna (Japanese: サナ Sana) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime. She is a Pokémon Performer from Vaniville Town and a rival of Serena. She first appeared in Summer of Discovery!.
History
Shauna made her debut appearance in Summer of Discovery!, where she first met Ash and his friends. She had seen the PokéVision video that Serena filmed in Lumiose City and recognized her from it. She later used her Bulbasaur to battle Serena's Fennekin and managed to win despite the type disadvantage.
In Day Three Blockbusters!, she informed Serena about Pokémon Showcases, which led to Serena wanting to become a Pokémon Performer as well.
In Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!, Shauna, along with Tierno and Trevor, decided to put the race on hold to help Ash, Serena, and Clemont find Bonnie. The group later encountered a mysterious Pokémon with an X mark on their way back to the camp. Although they arrived too late at the camp to win any points in the race, they declared that helping their friends was totally worth it.
In Battling Into the Hall of Fame!, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor participated in a Team Battle with Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, respectively. Their opponents were their new friends and rivals, Ash, Serena, and Clemont and their respective starter Pokémon. Shauna was defeated after a hard battle against Pikachu and Clemont's Chespin leaving Tierno and Squirtle alone.
Shauna reappeared in Dreaming a Performer's Dream!. She had arranged a meeting with Ash and his friends in Lagoon Town. She told the group that Aria would give an exhibition performance at a Pokémon Showcase there. As such, she was in the crowd at the Pokémon Showcase together with Ash and his friends, having her Bulbasaur watch it too. After the show, Shauna announced to Serena that she had registered for an upcoming Pokémon Showcase. She then left to train for the Showcase, promising to stay in contact with Serena.
She reappeared in A Showcase Debut!, where she participated in the Rookie Class Pokémon Showcase that was being held in Coumarine City. In the first round, she competed against Jessie and Armelle using her Bulbasaur, which was decorated with flowers. She earned the most votes from the audience and advanced to the second round, where she performed together with her Bulbasaur and Flabébé. After the round was over, Shauna was declared the winner of the tournament, earning her first Princess Key.
She appeared in a PokéVision in Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!, recapping her victory in Coumarine.
She reappeared in XY079, where she watched Serena compete in the Dendemille Town Pokémon Showcase along with Tierno and Trevor. After Serena's victory she is seen celebrating.
Character
Shauna is shown to have a very energetic personality, much like her game counterpart. She loves making PokéVision videos with her Pokémon. She and her friends became fans of Serena after seeing the PokéVision video she made in A PokéVision of Things to Come!. She dreams of becoming a famous Pokémon Performer and ultimately Kalos Queen, like Aria.
