Madeleine

Madeleine (Japanese: みやび Miyabi) is the character of the day in Enlighten Up!. Her English voice actress is Veronica Taylor and her Japanese voice actress is 伊藤美紀 Miki Itō.

She is a nun who lives in a temple in Johto between Mahogany Town and Blackthorn City. She is the follower of a religion similar to Buddhism in which the founder meditated along with Slowpoke until he cleared his head of all worldly thoughts and found enlightenment.

Apparently, she meditated along with Gary, spurring on Ash to attempt the temple training as well, although he wasn't successful.
