Dash (Japanese: ボッコ Bocco) is a minor recurring character who first appeared in Hatenna and the Otherworldly. She is Dot's doppelgänger.
History
Dash is a Trainer who came from her home region to study at Naranja Academy in the Tera Training course. While traveling with her friends Niko and Rob, the group became lost in the same forest as Liko, Roy, and Dot. After wandering aimlessly for a while, Niko used a vine from a nearby tree to replace a broken strap on her handbag. This sparked the fury of an Annihilape, as the vine was how it reached its food supply. The group was chased by Annihilape for days until they met Liko and her friends. Despite Roy's insistence that they battle the wild Pokémon together, Dash and her friends fled out the forest.
In Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four, Dash and her friends were welcomed by Clavell and Jacq along with the other students who had submitted their school reports and thus completed the first part of the training course.
In The Terapagos I Don't Know, Dash, Niko, and Rob participated in Clavell's speech that started the second part of Tera Training.
In Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!, Dash participated in the final part of the Tera Training course, where it was revealed that she failed the Usage test. Although sad that her Tera Orb would be taken away, Dash was happy to learn she'd be able to use it one last time in the upcoming Tera Training Student Battle Tournament.
In The Strong Sphere, just over a year later, Dash took part in a battle at the Exceed Testing Center. She battled against a Trainer's Electivire using her Swanna. Using Exceed's Strong Sphere, Dash was able to win the match.
She reappeared in a flashback in Roy vs. Friede: Wings of Fire!.
In HZ126, Dash reappeared at Naranja Academy and solemnly watched as her friends battled, lamenting her inferiority to them. Returning to her dormitory, Dash received a parcel containing a Strong Sphere as a thank-you gift for testing it, and became excited, only to discover that they had been banned in the Academy. Because of this, Dash challenged Liko to a battle where if Dash won, the ban against the Strong Sphere's would be lifted. Battling against Liko's Meowscarada, she used the Strong Sphere on her Swanna, causing it to repeatedly injure itself despite Dash's pleas. Right after the battle, Dash realized the harm the Strong Sphere does to Pokémon and decided to give up the item. She then opened up her friends about her insecurities, and while they were talking, Dash decided she would try Tera Training again.
In HZ136, Dash, Niko, and Rob were seen helping take away discarded Strong Spheres after Spinel was defeated and his crimes were exposed to the public.
Character
In relation to Niko and Rob, Dash is more shy and reserved. After failing her Tera Training test while her two friends Niko and Rob passed, Dash became deeply insecure of her strength as a Trainer, and worried that she was falling behind the two. Her inferiority towards her friends caused her to become obsessed with the Strong Sphere following her test battle victory with it, to the point where she felt that it was her only way of getting stronger. She became obsessed to the point where she became angry and resentful when she saw that they had been banned at Naranja Academy, blaming Liko and even challenging her to a battle in order to lift the ban. It wasn't until Dash saw the effect the sphere had on her Swanna that she realized what she was doing, becoming tearful upon seeing her Pokémon in pain and vowing to give up the item for good, accepting that it wasn't worth becoming stronger at the expense of her Pokemon. After confiding in her friends about her insecurities, she became inspired to improve as a Trainer the correct way and try Tera Training again.
