Katie (Japanese: カエデ Kaede) was the first opponent Ash battled in the Ever Grande Conference Victory Tournament. Her English voice actress is Andi Whaley and her Japanese voice actress is 沢海陽子 Yōko Sōmi. She appeared in Shocks and Bonds and A Judgment Brawl.

Katie is the pride of Lilycove City, where her fashion and flair have given her the nickname "cool beauty". Her hobbies include playing the clarinet and her favorite food is spicy spaghetti with Tamato Berries. In battle, she most commonly uses Venomoth and Golduck and is known for carefully analyzing her opponent's moves.

Just like any other beautiful girl, Brock develops a crush on Katie, listing down her hobbies, likes and dislikes instead of useful info, with Brock saying that he wanted a date with Katie.

Katie's battle style was different from many other typical Trainers in the anime. Instead of sticking with one Pokémon in battle until it fainted, she would switch out her Pokémon for a stronger one if hers had a disadvantage. It was due to this strategy that she nearly defeated Ash in the first part of their battle.

During their battle, she took out two of Ash's Pokémon without having any of hers faint. Ash finally was able to take out her Dugtrio with his Glalie. However, the Ice-type was soon defeated by her Misdreavus' Destiny Bond.

However, Ash was able to turn the battle in his favor using his three remaining Pokémon. His Corphish took out her Golduck, and from there, he eventually defeated Katie and moved on in the Victory Tournament.
