History

Backstory: Spent her childhood in the Dragon Village, growing up playing with Pokémon and her childhood friend Shobu in a nature-rich environment. As a child, she was scared of Dragon-type Pokémon, but after meeting an injured Axew, she grew fond of it while caring for it. After losing to Drayden, she entered the Opelucid Academy, but due to the cultural gap with the village, she couldn't fit in, got homesick, and returned to the village. Entrusted with a newborn Axew by the Elder, she resolved to set out on a journey to become a Dragon Master. She met Ash and traveled with him, achieving much growth and becoming the Unova region's Champion.
