Forsythia

Forsythia (Japanese: ツボミ Tsubomi) is the character of the day in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan. Her Japanese voice actress is 浅野真澄 Masumi Asano and her English voice actress is Stacia Newcomb.

She lives in Floaroma Town where she cares for her berry orchard with the help of her Pokémon - Roserade and Lotad. She also teaches Poffin cooking classes. Ash, Dawn, and Brock saw a flyer advertising her Poffin classes and paid a visit to her home.

She explained to them how to cook the Poffin. Dawn and Brock were having no trouble at all with making theirs but Ash couldn't get it right and ended up burning them. When Dawn fed her Poffin to her Pokémon, however, they ended up hating it. She couldn't understand why and said she used her mother's recipe. Forsythia then went on to explain that all Pokémon have different tastes just like people do.

Ash asked why Forsythia's Roserade was so shy. She told a story on how she met it when it was a Budew in a Pokémon Center, after it had gotten into a fight with a couple of other Pokémon. It liked the look of the bouquet of flowers and became friends with her. As a sign of their friendship, Forsythia gave Budew her red scarf.

Forsythia in her youth

The story was interrupted when Team Rocket came barreling through her garden in a tank, stealing all of her berries. When Roserade saw how upset Forsythia was over this it ran back into her house and wrapped the scarf around its face. It came back out and attacked Team Rocket using Magical Leaf. Team Rocket then found out from Lotad that without the scarf Roserade didn't have the confidence to fight so Meowth and Mime Jr. removed it.

They were about to run off with Roserade and the berries but Forsythia jumped in front of the tank and told Roserade that it didn't need the scarf to believe in itself. With that, Roserade escaped and used a beautiful Petal Dance attack against Team Rocket. After they were gone, Roserade's Sunny Day combined with Lotad's Water Sport, and Forsythia's garden began to regrow.

Forsythia also made a brief cameo in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events! along with her Pokémon.
