* At her house, before receiving the Dream Mist
:''"You're going to meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova region. Am I right? Oh, the stairs are right here!"''
:''"My room is upstairs here. Come on, go upstairs!"''
:''"So like I said, I'm Fennel, and as you can see, I'm a scientist. In fact, the subject I'm researching is Trainers! Professor Juniper is my friend from college. She asked me to help you guys."''
:''"So! I'll give you something to help you. This is a [[HM01|Hidden Machine]] for you!"''
:''"There are some moves that a Pokémon can use even when it is not fighting! With this Hidden Machine, you can teach your Pokémon a move called Cut. It can cut down a small tree. And you can use the Hidden Machine as many times as you want, like a [[TM]]. Isn't that great? But it's difficult to make a Pokémon forget a hidden move once it learns it."''
:''"And I'd like to ask you a favor, too! There is a place called the Dreamyard on the outskirts of Striaton City. I'd like some of the Dream Mist that a Pokémon there called Munna gives off. With that, I'll be able to use Game Sync to collect save files of various Trainers!"''
 
* At her house, after receiving the Dream Mist
:''"Ta-da! Thanks to you, I got some Dream Mist, and now I can collect save files of various Trainers! Thank you very much! As a token of my appreciation, I will give you this [[C-Gear]] to use! The C-Gear is a device related to communications, such as Infrared Connection or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."''
::'''If the player turns on the C-Gear''': ''"You see! The C-Gear was activated, and that screen showed up! If you touch the "?" icon at the bottom-right of the screen, you can read about the C-Gear."''
::'''If the player does not turn on the C-Gear''': ''"If you want to turn on the C-Gear, touch the Power symbol at the bottom right of the screen. Then, after turning on the power, if you touch the "?" icon at the bottom right of the screen, you can read about the C-Gear."''
:''"About Game Sync... I'd like to explain a little more about the system to collect Trainers' save files. Do you have time to learn more?"''
::'''No''': ''"I am sorry! I am so happy, so I will explain about it! Because, thanks to you, we can do a great thing!"''
:''"Now Game Sync can retrieve memories of sleeping Pokémon using Dream Mist! That's right! We can collect save files of Trainers from all over the world!"''
:''"What's more, we learned that if you use Game Sync to make a Pokémon sleep, it will have dreams. Then, when you wake up that Pokémon, its dream becomes the reality in a space called Entralink in the middle of the Unova region."''
:''"Isn't Game Sync interesting? If you like, please send your save file. I've summed up the details in the PC, so please check it if you get a chance!"''
 
* At her house, after using Game Sync for the first time
:''"Oh, thank you! You also sent your save file. I saw it while I was researching Trainers! Isn't Game Sync great?"''
 
'''At [[Dreamyard]]'''
:''"Oh!"''
:''"I couldn't wait, so I came over! ...Is that Musharna?!"''
:''"Did something happen?"''
:''"I think I followed that... See, Musharna evolves from Munna. So, seeing Munna in trouble, it used its power-- making dreams into reality-- to save Munna. Which means...wait a second!"''
:''"Is this Dream Mist?! With this, I can complete my research! You two come to my house later, OK?"''

Fennel debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''. She used to work as a Scientist in the [[Dreamyard]], a once research facility, along with her {{TP|Fennel|Munna}} and two unnamed scientists, researching a {{p|Musharna}}'s [[Dream Mist]] for a cleaner energy source. However, due to people's evil thoughts and desires on the project (which were essentially dreams), Musharna got corrupted and its Dream Mist turned black, causing an energy overload and creating a giant explosion, destroying the whole facility. Fennel, Munna, and the scientists survived from the explosion, but there was no sign of Musharna.

She used to work as a Scientist in the [[Dreamyard]], once a research facility, along with her {{TP|Fennel|Munna}} and two unnamed scientists, researching a {{p|Musharna}}'s [[Dream Mist]] for a cleaner energy source. However, due to people's evil thoughts and desires for the project (which were essentially dreams), Musharna was corrupted and its Dream Mist turned black, causing an energy overload and creating a giant explosion that destroyed the whole facility. Fennel, Munna, and the scientists survived the explosion, but there was no sign of Musharna.
After the incident, she now lives as an independent scientist. She noticed Munna was sensing something, as its eyes started glowing pink, and rushed to the [[Pokémon Center]], where she found [[Iris's Axew]], who was put to {{status|sleep}} by Musharna's Dream Mist. She used Munna to wake it up by sucking off the Dream Mist to reveal Axew's dreams. The pink mist spread all around [[Striaton City]] and the group, now including {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, rushed to the Dreamyard.

Fennel is bright and gentle natured.

History

Fennel debuted in Dreams by the Yard Full!. She used to work as a Scientist in the Dreamyard, once a research facility, along with her Munna and two unnamed scientists, researching a Musharna's Dream Mist for a cleaner energy source. However, due to people's evil thoughts and desires for the project (which were essentially dreams), Musharna was corrupted and its Dream Mist turned black, causing an energy overload and creating a giant explosion that destroyed the whole facility. Fennel, Munna, and the scientists survived the explosion, but there was no sign of Musharna. After the incident, she now lives as an independent scientist. She noticed Munna was sensing something, as its eyes started glowing pink, and rushed to the Pokémon Center, where she found Iris's Axew, who was put to sleep by Musharna's Dream Mist. She used Munna to wake it up by sucking off the Dream Mist to reveal Axew's dreams. The pink mist spread all around Striaton City and the group, now including Ash and his friends, rushed to the Dreamyard.

When they got there, they discovered that Team Rocket had awakened Musharna and captured it using one of their mechas, but Munna's Psychic and Pikachu's Volt Tackle destroyed the machine and they freed Musharna. After that, Fennel, Munna, and Musharna were reunited.

Fennel appeared again in Archeops In The Modern World!, where she, Munna, Musharna, and Professor Juniper revived an Archen from a Plume Fossil. The scientific breakthrough was already yielding results, with Archen's cry having never been documented before. Later Archen evolved into an Archeops. After Ash and his friends had stopped Team Rocket from stealing the First Bird Pokémon, she was reunited with other members of her species.

She appeared in a flashback in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!.

Character

Fennel is bright and gentle natured. She enjoys scientific discoveries and making breakthroughs, but is especially cautious of any ethical conflicts arising from her research following her Musharna's disappearance after the explosion at the Pokémon Energy Laboratory many years ago.

Plume Fossil → Archen → Archeops
Professor Juniper's Archeops
Professor Juniper's Archeops

Fennel worked with Professor Juniper to revive an Archen from a Plume Fossil in a lab between Castelia City and Nimbasa Town. Archen quickly proved to be a handful and refused to eat modern Pokémon food. She soon formed a bond with Ash and his Tranquill as they attempted to teach Archen to fly.

Some ancient seeds were attached to Archen when she was revived and were unknowingly planted in the lab. Cry after cry, the seeds grew and grew until the vines had made the lab completely inaccessible. The vines then began blossoming with fruit, and Archen quickly ran up and helped herself to her first meal since being revived. She then evolved into Archeops and in turn, gained the ability to fly. However, Team Rocket attempted to capture Archeops and, in the process, destroyed the habitat she had created. Luckily, a flock of Archeops had heard her call and arrived to take her with them. After saying a farewell to her new friends , Archeops flew off to live with her own kind.

Archeops's only known moves are Dragon Breath and Peck.

History

Black & White arc

Fennel is a scientist who researches dreams and the energy they emit with her sister, Amanita. She is friends with Professor Juniper and went to university with her and Professor Burnet. Fennel is first seen in Fussing and Fighting, where she talks to Professor Juniper over a video phone to inform her about Dream Mist. The call is interrupted when Professor Juniper's first partner Pokémon begin fighting with each other.

In Battle at the Dreamyard, Black and White encountered Fennel and Amanita while traveling on their journey. After Black is attacked and knocked unconscious by an unseen Pokémon, Fennel and Amanita assist White carry him to Fennel's laboratory. Fennel explains to them that she is researching Pokémon Trainers and the energy that dreams possess. After learning that Black has lost his Munna—a Pokémon that is connected to her research—Fennel offers to help look for it.

They eventually find Black's Munna, Musha, in the hands of some Team Plasma Grunts at the Dreamyard. Black then battles the Team Plasma members and defeats them, rescuing his Musha in the process. With his Musha rescued, Fennel is able to take some of his Dream Mist for her research. Afterwards, Fennel and Amanita say their goodbyes to Black and White.

In A Wretched Reunion, Fennel travels to Route 6 alongside Professor Juniper. There, they witness Musha choosing to leave Black, which caused the latter to pass out from shock. In Dream a Little Dream, Fennel, Amanita, Professor Juniper, and White look after Black at the Pokémon League gates while they watch the tournament.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

In Pink Slip, Fennel hides in her home alongside Amanita, Professor Juniper, Bianca, and Cedric Juniper to escape the Plasma Frigate freezing Unova's cities. There, Fennel reveals that after researching the Dream Mist for two years, she managed to discover another dimension known as the Pokémon Dream World. She hypothesizes that this may have been where Black went to after being sealed into the Light Stone. To confirm this, Fennel has White sent to the Entralink, where the real world and Dream World are most connected. The operation proves to be a success as White manages to find and obtain the Light Stone.
