Yuko (Adventures)
Yuko (Japanese: ユウコ Yūko) is a recurring character in the Adventures manga. She is a student at the Aspertia City Trainers' School.
History
Yuko debuted in The Transfer Student. She, Yuki, and Maya were first seen greeting Blake as he went to class. Yuko told him that their room changed. Later, Cheren held a miniature tournament where his students battled each other in two groups separated by gender. Yuko and her friends congradulated Blake for winning against Hugh.
In Movie Panic, Yuko went on a class trip to Pokéstar Studios. Whitley hung out with the girls to avoid Blake, but said she would rather be a spectator. Yuko told Whitley that she should star in a film with the rest of them. When Blake entered the film set to stop the rouge Mecha Tyrannitar, she swooned along with the rest of the class. After returning to school, Yuko and the other girls discussed their plans for the upcoming school festival. After Maya suggested inviting a live performer, Yuko mentioned Roxie as an option. Hugh interrupted their conversation to remind the girls they had to return to their dorms, Yuko claimed that he should understand girls because he has a little sister. Hers, Maya's, and Yuki's continued comments about Hugh's sister angered him into attacking them, until Leo stopped him. Yuko and the others angrily left while telling Hugh they wanted him to get expelled. Several days later, in Legendary Tornadus, Yuko and the other girls rushed to ask Whitley if she was okay after she screamed from a nightmare. As the class set up the choir tornament, Yuko expressed disgust at Hugh observing and intimidating the girls. She also seemed surprised when Blake took Whitley with him to check on the delivery truck.
In Choir Tournament, Yuko competed in the Autumn Choir Tournament as a member of Team Jigglypuff. The team eventually won, and as a reward for their performance, Roxie had her father take the winning team and their class to Castelia City to participate in the Unova Choir Tournament. Shortly after they arrived, Roxie found a member of the Unova Choir Tournament's executive committee injured and his Karrablast stolen by Team Plasma. Blake, Whitley, Hugh, and Roxie went to find the thieves while Yuko and the others stayed behind to look after the committee member.
In Therian Forme III, Cheren and his class gathered at Prime Pier. Yuki tried to tell Cheren about the situation, only to be interrupted by Hugh, who revealed that a member of their class is a member of Team Plasma. Hugh decided to leave school and fight Team Plasma, but was stopped by Whitley. Finding this behavior suspicious, Yuko and the others began to suspect Whitley, only to be affected by her Foongy's spores, putting them all to sleep.
In Pink Slip, Cheren woke up to find that he, Roxie, and his class were taken to the Marine Tube. Benga, a Trainers' School student suspended for picking fights, and Marlon moved everyone to safety after Castelia was frozen by Team Plasma's flying ship, the Plasma Frigate. While Cheren and the others discussed how to deal with the threat, Yuko, Yuki, and Maya assisted N's Zorua, who disguised itself as Whitley to fool the class into thinking she never left. This successfully convinced Yuko and the others that Whitley was never a Team Plasma member.
In Epilogue, Yuko helped take Hugh to the Trainers' School, where she and the other classmates apologized for treating him poorly and begged him to start attending class again. Embarrassed, Hugh agreed to come back to school and apologized for his earlier behavior as well. Later, Yuko attended the Trainers' School graduation ceremony with her classmates.
