White (Japanese: ホワイト White) is the fifteenth main character of the manga series Pokémon Adventures and one of the female main characters for the Black & White arc.

Character

White as a child

White is the representative of the BW Agency, a company that has a large supply of Pokémon actors that can be used for commercials, plays, movies, and stunts. Whenever her company's reputation is put on the line, she will do anything to prevent its name from being ruined.

White is reluctant to battle, as shown when she started to panic when Black said that she may need to fight in his battle with N and when Gigi was attacked by N's Purrloin, instead of attacking back, she scolded it for attacking an actress. Unlike Black, she does not possess a Pokédex, and until Black showed it to her, she did not know what it was.

When it comes to show business, White is an expert. She is extremely talented in organizing and planning along with recruiting people to join the BW Agency.

It is later revealed that as a child, White viewed a musical—which were human-only at that point—and saw a Cubchoo walk up on the stage. After seeing how the people enjoyed seeing the Cubchoo take part in the musical, she wanted to make something that Pokémon who loved to perform could do.

History

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

White first appears watching the shooting for a Xtransceiver commercial when she encounters Black shouting out his ambition to become a Master Trainer. When she discovers he has a male Tepig, she decides to hire him, due to her believing she had needed to bring only a female Tepig, only to learn she really needed both genders. When Black is suspected of sabotaging White's commercial shooting, she tries to prove his innocence (actually just trying to not get him arrested, due to the fact that if he was arrested, so would his Tepig) and watches as he finds the real culprit, a Galvantula, and defeating it at the cost of the shooting equipment. She pays for the destroyed equipment and states that she hired Black for her company, forcing him to call her "Boss."

The night after, White and Black camp outside and are attacked by an unseen Pokémon. Using his abilities, Black finds out that the Pokémon attacking them is a Timburr that is helping a group of people in knight uniforms known as Team Plasma build a stage. The next day, White and Black witness one of Team Plasma's "sages", Ghetsis, make a speech that causes the people around them to start releasing their Pokémon.

When an enraged Black tries to stop them from making anymore speeches, White stops him because it isn't his business. While they talk about whether or not Team Plasma is correct, White is called away for business reasons. After talking to the director, White returns to back where Black was only to find him in battle with someone else. In the ensuing battle White learns that the person Black is fighting is named N and he has the ability to hear the voices of Pokémon, allowing him to communicate with them.

After Black is defeated, White becomes convinced that N is a part of Team Plasma and becomes disgusted at their actions. Black denies this and states that even if he is a part of Team Plasma, N is a good person. Afterwards, they travel to Striaton City so Black can challenge the Gym; while Black challenges the Gym, White goes off somewhere else. After the Gym battle, White meets Black's childhood friends, Cheren and Bianca and advertises her BW Agency to them; the two groups then go their separate ways.

After encountering Fennel and Amanita at the Site of Dreams, White and Black arrive in Nacrene City. After advertising her BW Agency and convincing an accordion player to appear in one of the Agency's shows, White and the others find that the accordion had been stolen. As Black uses his abilities to find the thieves, a Scraggy and Scrafty, White explains to everyone else about how Black can use his Munna to increase his senses. After the thieves were defeated and the shooting went off without a hitch, White gives Black his Tep back and he goes off to his Gym battle. After Black leaves, the director gives White an offer to plan a campaign in Nimbasa City.

Later, while Black is having his Gym battle, White and the director discuss with the mayor of Nimbasa City about what they can come up with to make the city livelier. After hearing some ideas, White nervously comes up with the idea of a musical, an idea that the mayor loved. After White returns to Black who had just defeated the Nacrene Gym, she excitedly exclaims her joy about the mayor using her idea to make Nimbasa a tourist attraction and drags him out of the Gym so they can prepare to leave.

White after losing Gigi to N

Afterwards, White and Black go through the Pinwheel Forest where they are attacked by an unseen Pokémon that rips up their clothes. After traveling through the Skyarrow Bridge, White and Black encounter the Battle Company's president disguised as janitor Geoff who tells them that the Pokémon that had attacked them was Virizion. After saying goodbye to Geoff, they arrive in Castelia City.

After arriving in Castelia, White notices that Black's Tep is about to evolve into a Pignite and forcefully prevents this from happening as to prevent the Tep and Gigi duo from being broken.

After leaving Castelia, White and Black arrive in Route 4 but cannot progress to Nimbasa because of a powerful sandstorm. After getting some supplies to help them get out of the sandstorm, White finds an unconscious Black and an unconscious Plasma Grunt at the gateway and has Black's Brav carry them to Nimbasa. After explaining the situation to Black after he wakes up, she drags him to the building where the Pokémon Musical will be held. White goes and starts organizing the Musical by having the BW Agency's Pokémon do a rehearsal; her skills in organization shocks Black in the process.

After the Musical goes on, White notices how all of the people and Pokémon have come closer together and it brings a tear to her eyes. Suddenly, White is knocked by a mysterious figure and is pushed into the Nimbasa rollercoaster. As she regains her composure, White notices that the person who pushed her was in fact, N. When N asks her about why she created the Pokémon Musical, White reveals her reasons to him.

N replies that some Pokémon may like to perform but by only focusing on that part of the Pokémon, their other traits will be suppressed. In Gigi's case, N refers to her ability to battle and evolve. N then has his Servine attack Gigi in order to have her fight back and show just how strong she is to White. N comes to the conclusion that by focusing on Gigi's talents in performing, White had been neglecting her true strengths in battle, a fact that Gigi agrees to.

When White decides that it is time to escape, she attempts to jump off the Ferris wheel and asks Gigi to do the same. Surprisingly, Gigi goes to N's side, shocking White who falls out of the car and onto the ground below. Gigi and N watch from the car as White lies on the ground, crying because of Gigi's betrayal.

White is next seen unconscious, being carried by Marshal, one the Elite Four, and gives White to Black. He says to get her to a hospital, because he has important things to do. Black notices that the Servine is still following her and wonders why.

While at the hospital, Black is seen, not understanding what happened to her. She wakes up and sees the Servine by the curtain and screams, later she tells Black what happened to her and is found by Baker Chris. Black being annoyed by her tells her to go away, and Chris asks him if that is such a good idea. She than explains that she knows a lot of information about people around the area, like where did Marshal have to go with Alder. After Black figures out the answer to her question, she brings Black and White to the Battle Subway where they find Alder and Marshal fighting.
