Billy Jo: Difference between revisions

(Japanese: ルー Roo) is a character appearing in Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1) and Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2) of the Pokémon anime.

She is a guitarist playing with Roxie and Cook in the band "The Koffing", which is quite well known in Unova and provides music during Roxie's Gym Battles. When Ash came to the Virbank Gym, Roxie introduced Roo as someone with a "venomous personality".

She once went on tour with the band through Kanto but mentioned to Ash that the audiences there weren't as upbeat as those in Unova.
