Erica

- For the Gym Leader, please see Erika.
Erica (Japanese: エリコ Eriko) is a Pokémon coordinator who appeared in the anime. She is voiced by Amy Birnbaum in English and 千葉千恵巳 Chiemi Chiba in Japanese.
Erica's first appearance was in Mean with Envy. She and her boyfriend Joshua were training for the Pacifidlog contest. Erica hoped that she and Joshua would be the first couple to become winners in the Pacifidlog's contest.
Much to Erica's chagrin, May began training with Joshua. They were only doing so as friends, but Erica refused to believe May's story. She was convinced that May was going to steal Joshua away from her.
During the contest in Pacifidlog Jam, Joshua faced off against May. Erica hoped that Joshua would defeat her, but she was stunned when May ended up defeating him. Now more than ever, Erica wanted to defeat May. However, when May defeated Erica, the coordinator had a change of heart. She told May that she was jealous of her, and that she shouldn't have been.
She and Joshua both had cameos during the Hoenn Grand Festival.

Trivia
- Her yellow-colored headband and hairstyle have caused many fans to compare her to Haruhi Suzumiya. Coincidentally, the first episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was broadcast in Japan the day after the episode Erica first appeared in was broadcast in the United States.
- Her hairstyle is very similar to that of Erika's, coincidently.
