'''Kaede''' (Japanese: '''カエデ''' ''Kaede'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]] in the manga series ''[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]''. Her Pokémon is a {{p|Gloom}} (referred to as a "Dark Gloom", as the series is based on the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon TCG]]).

==History==
Kaede is childhood friends with [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. Even though Kaede is a member of Team Rocket, Erika seems to be oblivious to this. Since Erika is unaware of Kaede's occupation, the two remain friends. 

Kaede is severely allergic to pollen, flowers, and seemingly Grass type Pokémon in general. Because of this, Kaede is often pictured frowning, looking tired and clutching her runny nose. Even though she is allergic to Grass types, she still visits Erika and spends time with her. Erika, however, does not seem to realize that Kaede's frequent sneezing is because of allergies to her gym and Pokémon.

To make matters worse, Kaede's only Pokémon is a Grass type. She met this Pokémon, an {{p|Oddish}}, as a young girl. The Oddish later evolved into a {{p|Gloom}}.
