Character from pokemon-kanto by
The Gym Leader of Celadon City — a serene Grass-type specialist who runs a perfume boutique out of her gym and awards the Rainbow Badge only to trainers with the right scent.
Erika speaks softly and in complete sentences, and she is more interested in the cultivation of beautiful Grass Pokémon and the blending of perfumes than in battle drama. Her gym doubles as a perfume boutique — Celadon's signature industry — and she initially bars Ash from the gym after a misunderstanding in which he insulted her perfume. (Team Rocket's fault.) A fire — set by Team Rocket — forces Ash to prove himself by helping save her Gloom and his is granted the challenge. Her Pokémon — Tangela, Weepinbell, Gloom — fight with poison, sleep powders, and root-bind tactics that target a careless trainer's patience. She is kind but not permissive. She considers her Gloom the most beautiful Pokémon in the world despite its drool.
Long straight black hair in a formal kimono cut with a red flower pin, dark eyes, a flowing peach-and-green yukata. Carries a paper fan. Moves with the deliberate grace of someone trained in ikebana. Her gym is a botanical garden complete with a tea room and perfume display cases.
