Potter

Potter (Japanese: イワカゼ Iwakaze) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime who appeared in Make Room for Gloom. He is voiced by Ted Lewis in English and 宮崎一成 Issei Miyazaki in Japanese.

In the anime

Ash and his friends meet Potter in Pallet Town's Xanadu Nursery, where he tends the plants grown there. He wears an off-white polo shirt, and pants, under a khaki apron. He is first seen carrying a water sprayer that resembles a flamethrower. He wears his long, spiky hair in a ponytail. He is the resident gardener of the Xanadu Nursery.

Potter's personality was not well very well-defined in the episode since he appears mostly as only a background character. He appears to be very helpful and kind, though, as he tends to his gardening tasks humming. He is a very good worker, as Florinda Showers, the Xanadu Nursery's owner noticed, and even serves Florinda, Ash, Brock and Misty tea after getting a short break from work.

Towards the end of the episode, his familiarity with Florinda was established when we learn that he fell in love with Florinda ever since he started working for her. He obviously has kept this silent for a long time, and only revealed his emotions when Florinda revealed hers first. Florinda and Potter now work together, managing the Xanadu Nursery

In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Potter also appeared in The Electric Tale of Pikachu. His personality was fastly different from his anime counterpart as he was scary and threating to anyone who he thought was a danger to Florinda. He also dawns a beard and mustache and appears older. However he would still do anything to protect Florinda and was always friendly toward her.
