Whitney (Japanese: アカネ Akane, lit. "dark red") is the Gym Leader of the Goldenrod City Gym. She hands out the Plain Badge to trainers who defeat her. She is a young girl who uses Normal-type Pokémon.

Whitney's English name means "white islands". It was problably chosen because "white" relates to being without color, plain. etc.

In the Anime

Whitney is a sweet but ditzy young lady. She easily gets lost in her own home town.

Ash challenged her to a Gym match, but was unable to stop her Miltank, who constantly used Rollout to deflect attacks.

After his defeat, Whitney invited Ash to her uncle's dairy, where many Miltank were raised to produce milk for consumption.

Ash, Brock, and Misty spent the day taking care of the dairy's many Miltank.

After Ash stoped a barrel-shaped robot piloted by Team Rocket, he came up with a strategy to defeat Miltank. He used Totodile and Cyndaquil to slow it down, then had Pikachu knock it out. With that, Ash won the Plain Badge.
