Cassandra

Cassandra (Japanese: キヨミ Kiyomi) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime. She appeared in The Problem with Paras. Her English voice actress is Lisa Ortiz and her Japanese voice actress is 吉田古奈美 Konami Yoshida.

Cassandra and her grandmother owned a medicine shop in Mossgreen Village. When Ash and his friends met up with her, she was trying to get her Paras to evolve, because she needed Parasect's mushroom to make a specific type of medicine. In an attempt to help her Paras evolve, Ash battled with it using his Pikachu, Squirtle and Charmeleon. However, all he did was end up scaring it off.

Meowth then decided to help Paras evolve by using Arbok and Weezing. He believed that this would also give him a good home with Cassandra. Thanks in part to Team Rocket, Paras ended up evolving and Cassandra was able to make the medicine she needed.

As for Meowth, his luck ran out when Cassandra's grandmother found a Persian sleeping in the backyard and kept it instead.
