Lauren: Difference between revisions

This article is about a character featured in the Pokémon anime who has not yet debuted in the English language dub. As such, their information may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.

Misaki

(Japanese: ミサキ Misaki) is a character of the day who appeared in JN008. Her hometown is Snowpoint City.

Misaki first appeared when she contacted the Cerise Laboratory after her Piplup found its way to Vermilion City and was brought to the Institute by Ash and Goh. The two arranged to bring it to Sinnoh for her. Misaki met them soon after they arrived and was reunited with her Piplup. Afterwards, she explained why Piplup swam away.

Misaki later watched as Piplup and her Croagunk participated in the Pokémon Drift Ice Race. The race was soon interrupted by Team Rocket, who captured all of the participating Pokémon before attacking the ship with their Beartic, causing Misaki to cling to the ship and making her lose her glasses. She was saved from falling into the water below when Piplup and Croagunk worked together to cut from the ship a life raft for her to land on. She later waved goodbye to Ash and Goh as they returned to Kanto, only for her glasses to fall into the ocean once again, though they were picked up by a Psyduck.

Pokémon

		Piplup
		Piplup is Misaki's first known Pokémon. She first met Piplup a year ago when her glasses fell into the ocean and Piplup retrieved them for her. It later swam away when a Croagunk did the same thing, winning Misaki's affections. Afterwards, Piplup arrived at the port of Vermilion City, where it was found by Ash and Goh. They took it to the Cerise Laboratory, where they were soon contacted by Misaki. Ash and Goh took it to Sinnoh and returned it to Misaki. Still annoyed at Croagunk, Piplup entered the two in the Pokémon Drift Ice Race to see who was the better swimmer. However, the race was interrupted by Team Rocket, who captured the other Pokémon participants, but Piplup continued racing against Croagunk, only stopping when Misaki's glasses fell into the ocean. Piplup helped save Misaki after she was knocked off the ship by cutting free a life raft for her to safely fall into, before retrieving the glasses. Piplup was later shocked when Misaki's glasses fell into the ocean, and a Psyduck retrieved them. None of Piplup's moves are known.

		Croagunk
		Croagunk is Misaki's second known Pokémon. Like Piplup, Misaki first met Croagunk when her glasses fell into the ocean and Croagunk retrieved them for her, one month prior. This caused Piplup to become jealous, and it swam away. When Piplup was returned to Misaki, Piplup was still jealous, so it entered itself and Croagunk into the Pokémon Drift Ice Race to see who was the better swimmer. The race was interrupted by Team Rocket who captured the other Pokémon, but Croagunk continued racing against Piplup, only stopping when Misaki's glasses fell into the ocean. Croagunk helped save Misaki after she was knocked off the ship by cutting free a life raft for her to safely fall into, before retrieving the glasses. Croagunk was later shocked when Misaki's glasses fell into the ocean, and a Psyduck retrieved them. Croagunk's only known move is Poison Jab.
