'''Florinda Showers''' (Japanese: '''リンドウ・ムラサメ''' ''Lindow Murasame'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', as well as in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].


Florinda owns the [[Xanadu Nursery]], after inheriting it from her still living parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She has very long purple hair and bright amethyst eyes. She wears a yellow, almost gown-like sun dress and a green jacket on top.
==In the anime==
Florinda owns the [[Xanadu Nursery]], after inheriting it from her parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She is also an expert on plants of the [[Pokémon world]], and those with special properties that can affect {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She cares very much for her plants, declaring that they are like "children" to her, and cares as much for her Gloom. Since she runs the Nursery for her parents, she feels that they expect a lot from her, thus giving her a few confidence issues. She is very sweet and gentle, but too self-pitying. Her employee is [[Potter]], who she has a crush on and who has a crush on her, though both are unaware of each other's feelings.

Her confidence issues seem to have begun when she tried using a [[Leaf Stone]] on her {{p|Gloom}}. She thought that even with the Evolution Stone, she was not able to [[evolution|evolve]] her Gloom because of not {{pkmn|training}} it properly enough, although she already helped it develop an antidote for some of the plants that exist in the garden. She reciprocated these confidence issues with her running the nursery. She later discovered that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by {{an|Brock}}, who had become smitten with her. They then realized that it was {{TRT}}'s doing, though Florinda blamed herself for being so gullible, even calling herself useless.

Although Brock had helped her, Florinda's true love was [[Potter]], an employee at the Xanadu Nursery. She asked if he wanted to help her manage it, and he agreed, both realizing that they had fallen in love with each other. This portion also contained a funny scene, in which Brock is anguished by Florinda's declaration of love to Potter. Since Brock helped Florinda regain her confidence, he naturally thought that he had won the affection of Florinda, but it actually did not happen.
 
Potter and Florinda now manage the Xanadu Nursery, working hand-in-hand to take care of the plants contained within it.
 
After her Gloom cured [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] from an encounter with some of the plants, the two seemed to develop a certain affection for each other, with Bulbasaur rubbing against Gloom and Gloom clearly blushing, but nothing apparently came of it.

Florinda

Florinda Showers (Japanese: リンドウ・ムラサメ Lindow Murasame) is a character of the day who appeared in Make Room for Gloom, as well as in The Electric Tale of Pikachu.

In the anime

Florinda owns the Xanadu Nursery, after inheriting it from her parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She is also an expert on plants of the Pokémon world, and those with special properties that can affect Pokémon. She cares very much for her plants, declaring that they are like "children" to her, and cares as much for her Gloom. Since she runs the Nursery for her parents, she feels that they expect a lot from her, thus giving her a few confidence issues. She is very sweet and gentle, but too self-pitying. Her employee is Potter, who she has a crush on and who has a crush on her, though both are unaware of each other's feelings.

Her confidence issues seem to have begun when she tried using a Leaf Stone on her Gloom. She thought that even with the Evolution Stone, she was not able to evolve her Gloom because of not training it properly enough, although she already helped it develop an antidote for some of the plants that exist in the garden. She reciprocated these confidence issues with her running the nursery. She later discovered that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by Brock, who had become smitten with her. They then realized that it was Team Rocket's doing, though Florinda blamed herself for being so gullible, even calling herself useless.

She had trained her Gloom well enough and thoroughly properly, though, and she realized her potential when Team Rocket stole Ash's Pikachu and paralyzed everyone except for her and her Gloom with Stun Stem, a plant located in the nursery. With some encouragement from Brock, Florinda gathered the confidence she needed to defeat Team Rocket and save Pikachu. Afterwards, she learns of Potter's feelings for her and reciprocates them, much to Brock's dismay.

Florinda's Gloom
Gloom
Florinda Showers' Gloom lived at the Xanadu Nursery. It first appeared when Brock thought he saw a beautiful woman, though all Ash saw was Gloom. It later appeared when Ash's Bulbasaur sniffed "Stun Stem", paralyzing it. Since Gloom had already developed an immunity to the plant, it helped Bulbasaur to the treatment room. In the end, Bulbasaur recovered with the help of a liquid in Gloom's flower. It was revealed that its owner wanted to evolve it with a Leaf Stone, but it did not work; the Leaf Stone turned out to be fake.

When Team Rocket attacked, using a powder made from the Stun Stem to stop the group, Florinda and Gloom were the only ones unaffected. Gloom confronted Team Rocket as they sent out Arbok and Weezing. Gloom initially couldn't see anything from the smoke Weezing caused, but it used Double Team to confuse them. It then finished them off with a Solar Beam, sending them blasting off.

It reappeared in Bulbasaur's flashback in Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!.

Gloom's known moves are Double Team and Solar Beam.
