(Japanese: アオイ Aoi) is a recurring character in the anime who first appeared in DP088. She is voiced by 日野未歩 Miho Hino in Japanese.

She shares many personality traits with Ash, including a love of food and sleeping during class. She also developed a fierce rivalry with him, and both battled their respective Pokémon in training, resulting in a tie. Together, they also got reprimanded by Rowan and his aide several times for being troublemakers, usually because Aoi said or did something to make Ash mad.

Aoi was surprised when she discovered Ash's training style (encouraging a Pokémon after it had attacked him) and quickly adapted it into a form of training with her Monferno which, somewhat like Maylene, involved her dodging Monferno's Ember and Mach Punch attacks.

During the events of DP090, Ash saved Aoi from being sucked into a black hole by a demon. From that point she developed a crush on him. In the next episode she got embarrassed when Ash tried to shake hands with her and she ran away.

Aoi and Ash competed fiercely during the triathlon portion of the summer school session. However it was Ash who crossed the finish line first with her in close second. The night before they left the summer school, they vowed to meet each other again.

She will appear again in DP098.

Trivia

Their moment together

• Much like Anabel, Ash thought Aoi was a boy.
• Her name in Japanese can mean "blue" or "hollyhock".
• Like Ash, Aoi has an Electric Pokémon, Shinx. But whether or not it is her first Pokémon is unknown. She also prefers to keep it outside its Poké Ball much like Ash does with Pikachu.
• Similar to how Ash's Charmeleon didn't obey him, Aoi's Monferno at first doesn't obey her and even uses its fire attacks on her.
• She is yet another girl who has a Template:S on Ash.
