Kricketina Kylie
Kricketina Kylie (Japanese: コロトックコロミ Korotock Koromi) is a character of the day who appeared in Trade, Borrow, and Steal!. She is a Bug-type Trainer from Sinnoh and calls herself the "Bug-type Queen of Sinnoh" (Japanese: シンオウのむしポケクイーン Sinnoh Bug Poké Queen). Having caught all of the Bug-type Pokémon found in Sinnoh, Kricketina is now on a journey to catch Bug types from other regions across the world.
She attended a Pokémon Trade Event held at the Vermilion City Pokémon Center in the hopes of receiving new Bug Pokémon. There, she met Ash and Goh. At first, Goh mistook her for a Kricketune but soon realized his mistake. Kricketina received a notification about a challenger in the World Coronation Series, who turned out to be Ash. They had a battle, with Ash using Pikachu against Kricketina's Heracross and winning, causing Kricketina's ranking to drop.
Upon learning that Goh owned a Pinsir, Kricketina wanted him to trade it for her Heracross, but Goh was reluctant. Instead, he agreed to help Kricketina find a Pinsir of her own from Vermilion Forest. After a long search, Kricketina decided to use a batch of her "Kricketina Treats", a stirred mixture, to attract a Pinsir. In the forest, Ash, Goh, and Kricketina ended up encountering Team Rocket, who Goh defeated using Kricketina's Heracross after she had gotten caught in their net along with Ash. Afterwards, a Pinsir was attracted to the "Kricketina Treats", but since Kricketina was still trapped in the net, Goh caught it instead. Afterwards, Kricketina suggested trading her Heracross for this new Pinsir, which Goh agreed to do.
She reappeared in a flashback in Sobble Spies a Stealthy Strategy!.
