Wanda (Japanese: ミチル Michiru) is Wally's cousin and lives in Verdanturf Town.

In the Games

Wanda had a boyfriend who lived in Rustboro City. The two were waiting for the Rusturf Tunnel to be completed so they could visit eachother regularly.

However, the construction disturbed the local Whismur who lived in the tunnel, so construction was canceled.

Wanda's boyfriend tried to dig the tunnel himself, and almost completed it. After the main character of Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire, or Pokémon Emerald gets the Dynamobadge, they can use Rock Smash to complete the tunnel and open a path to Route 116.

Wanda and her boyfriend are thankfully reunited and give the protagonist HM04, Strength, as a token of gratitude.

In the Pokémon Special Manga

Ruby was entered in a Pokémon Contest in Verdanturf Town when he thought he saw Wally in the audience.

Anxious to meet him again, he follows "Wally" outside and stops him from getting on a bus by having his Feebas cover the entrance with Ice Beam, angering many people.

And after all that, it turns out that it was just Wanda, Wally's cousin all along! They looked so much alike that people often mistaken them as siblings but not cousins. Wanda tells Ruby that Wally was in Verdanturf, but now he's moved to a hospital. This leaves Ruby despondent as his Ralts was still with Wally.

In this manga, Wanda's boyfriend is named Ryūji. He was the head of the Rusturf Tunnel construction crew, who stopped the construction as they noticed they were disturbing the Whismur. He was once trapped when the rock layers in the tunnel collapsed due to the earthquakes, but was saved by Ruby and his Marshtomp.
