'''Pepper''' (Japanese: '''カラトウ''' ''Karatō'') is a minor recurring character who first appeared in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]''. They<ref>Unconfirmed gender</ref> are a {{tc|Student}} of [[Naranja Academy]] who is infatuated with {{p|Scovillain}}. Despite their name, they cannot handle spicy food.

==History==
As [[Liko]] was looking for [[Laquium]] Signs, she came across meeting Pepper who was trying to find their missing Scovillain that was missing a day before. Before leaving, they asked Liko to let them know if she happened to find their Scovillain.

Liko ran to find that Pepper's Scovillain was attacking multiple small Pokémon. Using {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} as a distraction, {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} took her chance to heal the injured Pokémon. Afterwards, Liko removed the effects of the Laquium with the help of [[Pagogo]].

Pepper applied to be a tester for the Strong Sphere, which was granted by [[Exceed]]. However, after using it too much, the sphere ran out of Laquium and they sent it back to the company for recharging.

Pepper reappeared in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'', where they were seen handing in their Strong Sphere to an Exceed employee.
