!Goh and his Pokémon

See [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesGoh here]] for more about Goh and his Pokémon.

!Cerise Institute
[[folder:Professor Cerise (Doctor Sakuragi)]]
[[quoteright:349:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/professor_cerise_jn.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/RayChase
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Mauricio Pérez
The professor of the Cerise Institute in Vermillion City, Kanto. He researches Pokémon from all around the world on an even deeper level than Professor Oak, and enlists Ash and Goh to travel the world to assist in his research.
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: To Chloe.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] to Chloe. He makes up a part of the few nuclear families within the series.
* BenevolentBoss: He treats his assistants well. And he gave Ash and Goh tickets to the World Coronation Series finals as a reward for their good work as research fellows.
** He's also very supportive of Ash and Goh's goals, often giving Goh information to help him get started on a Project Mew Mission.
* ADayInTheLimelight: While [=JN120=] starts off with Chloe and Eevee and their path for evolution, it's essentially him that takes the spotlight of the episode as he teaches her about Evolution and shares a story of his past when he befriends a wild Clefairy. This episode has him reunite with said Clefairy as a Cleffable.
* FloralThemeNaming: As is tradition for Pokemon professors, his name is plant/tree-themed; his English dub name, Cerise, is French for "cherry". Likewise, his Japanese family name means "cherry blossom tree".
* GoodParents: ''[=JN031=]'' has him calmly tell Chloe that she won't know if she'll succeed at something unless she actually tries. He also gives her a Rotom Phone in ''[=JN049=]'' to congratulate her becoming a Trainer.
* HappilyMarried: Is married to Talia.
* ItAmusedMe: He knew all along about the Gengar haunting the laboratory but thought that the poltergeist activity would be lots of fun. Then again it's a complete contrast to when Gengar arrived in ''[=JN011=]'' and his daughter was the only thing stopping Gengar from doing more harm...
* OnlySaneMan: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] during the eating contest where he contrasts with Chrysa's fanaticism.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In [=JN010=], he decides to keep Dragonite Island a secret as he feels their mystery is part of their appeal, despite Ren and Chrysa suggesting otherwise. Given what Team Rocket tried to pull in said episode, he made a good call. Ash's Dragonite even thanks him by giving him a big hug.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** In regards to getting his daughter the motivation she needs to get into Pokémon. When she becomes unsure as to whether or not to help Jinny get ready for the Slateport Water Festival, he tells her that sometimes a little effort is all that matters and thus gets her moving forward to try something new.
** In ''[=JN074=]'' his advice about how the bonds of Pokémon and humans can open up to new things is what convinces Chloe to approach Cresselia so she and Dawn can heal her.

[[folder:Chloe Cerise (Koharu Sakuragi)]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chloe_jn.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/CheramiLeigh
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Sara Gómez

Chloe is Professor Cerise's daughter and a childhood friend of Goh. It was at her behest that Goh went to Professor Oak's summer camp when they were younger. She, too, witnessed Mew, and now helps her father with his research.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: She's considered the {{Tritagonist}} of the series, but the number of episodes that actually have her as the focus character in the first season can literally be counted on one hand. This eventually gets averted as the series goes on and she gains more and more focus episodes, eventually becoming an AscendedExtra by seasons 2 and 3.
* AlliterativeName: In the dub, '''C'''hloe '''C'''erise.
* AloofAlly: Acts as this towards Goh and Ash at the start of the series, not initially wanting anything to do with their adventures or Pokémon themselves. She begins to grow out of the aloofness as the series goes on.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Barring the dark hair, she is shown to be quite cold or distant to, well, ''everyone'' except her mother. She gradually warms up as the series goes on.
* AmbiguousGender: The Rotom Phone that she carries with her has a male voice in the Japanese series but the English Dub gives it a female voice instead.
* AscendedExtra: By episode 50, she participates in more of Ash and Goh's journeys as she starts ascending into a 3rd travelling companion in the series. The 3rd introduction series also features more of her alongside Ash and Goh.
* BerserkButton: She ''really'' hates having her MessyHair brought up in any way. When Chloe learns her mother created an illustration of her in that state for a local magazine (''[=JN029=]''), she is outraged.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While initially quite aloof, she ends up [[TookALevelInKindness taking a few levels in kindness]] as the series goes on, and even before then, she was perfectly capable of being cordial to those she was close to. She's not somebody to be messed with, however.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Chloe doesn't tend to talk a lot and keeps to herself, at least early in the series, but that doesn't mean she can't be dangerous when she wants to. Case in point, in ''[=JN031=]'' a couple of girls make dismissive comments about Jinny's Feebas. Chloe shuts them up with the mother of all {{Death Glare}}s.
* BigSisterInstinct: Is shown to care for her little brother and becomes enraged when one of his friends, Jinny, is insulted during a contest for her choice of Pokemon in ''[=JN031=]''.
* BigSisterWorship: As shown in ''[=JN058=]'', while the two aren't related, she is shown to really admire and look up to Chryssa, to the point of deciding to stay with her in her apartment.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Serena, as the two share a large number of similarities to each other. Their outward personalities are alike, both being kind, polite, and feminine, but with an occasional knack for being snarky and sassy when the situation calls for it. They both started out with no clue what they wanted to do or who they wanted to be in the world, living under the pressure of expectations of being the daughter of a parent who is well known in the world. The two eventually meet in ''[=JN105=]'', with Chloe's Eevee meeting Serena's Sylveon in turn, and they quickly bonded over their similarities in having a journey of self-discovery and finding out what they wanted to do, with Serena using her experience to teach Chloe some important life lessons and give her the push to try out a Contest Spectacular. They are also shown to get along immediately thanks to their similar personalities.
* BlackSheep: Played with in that she isn't actively treated as such. Everyone in her family loves Pokémon, whereas she prefers to stay away from them. She's starting to grow out of it in ''[=JN029=]'' upon realizing how she was shown to be quite cold to Yamper in the past.
* BreakoutCharacter: As seen in the above tropes, Chloe started out as a fairly underused character, though one whose role grew in time. This notably coincided with Chloe's popularity growing rapidly, to a point of [[https://ranking.net/rankings/best-anime-characters?s=09#42eefb she would place in a large top 1000 anime character poll, outperforming many other Pokemon characters including Goh and only being beaten by Pikachu, Ash, Brock, Serena, May, Dawn, and Misty respectivley from highest to lowest]].
* CharacterDevelopment: She gradually begins warming up to Pokemon and becoming more involved with them, becomes less aloof, more willing to try new things and has become more comfortable around Ash, acting less snarky towards both him and Goh. By ''[=JN049=]'', she officially becomes a Pokémon trainer with her own starter and Rotom Phone, along with not feeling so down about people pressuring her into being so into Pokémon.
* CherryBlossomGirl: She's heavily associated with cherry blossoms; her last name in the English dub means "cherry" in French, while her Japanese last name translates as "cherry blossom tree". She wears a cherry blossom-shaped decoration in her hair, and when she's not in her uniform she frequently wears pink. Her swimsuit also has cherry blossoms on it. Starting with ''[=JN050=]'', she wears a pink blouse with cherry blossoms on it.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Goh to the point of initially being Goh's OnlyFriend.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike previous female leads, Chloe technically isn't a companion at all. She's a supporting character who isn't eager to get into a life with Pokémon, is more introverted, goes to a human school and (initially) wants little to do with Ash. Her development is considerably slower paced as a result of this -- while she's not the first to be DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife, Chloe is the only one still searching by the end of the series. And, on a lesser note, she's a CanonForeigner not based on anyone from the games.
* CostumeEvolution: To signify her becoming a Pokémon trainer and officially joining Ash and Goh, she begins wearing more varied outfits.
* CutenessProximity: Has this response upon meeting Lei for the first time when in Alola.
* CynicismCatalyst: At some point in her past, people's assumptions that Chloe was just going to follow in her father's footsteps and pursue a career involving Pokémon got to her, resulting in her initial coolness toward Pokémon.
* DamselInDistress:
** Spends most of ''[=JN050=]'' as this, getting into trouble and having either Goh, Ash or Eevee saving her skin. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as she lacks experience or drive toward battling unlike the other two.
** This is especially played straight in ''[=JN079=]'' when she gets kidnapped by Katsuki (mistaking her for another girl) and has to be rescued by Ash, Goh and Eevee.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!'', ''There's a New Kid in Town!'', and ''The Cuteness Quotient!'' puts her in the spotlight in place of Ash and Goh, with ''[=JN038=]'' giving her a fair amount of focus as well. ''[=JN049=]'' shows her officially becoming a Pokémon Trainer. ''[=JN074=]'' has her set off on her first solo journey, meeting Dawn in the process. ''[=JN105=]'' is about her taking on her first contest.
* DeadpanSnarker: Chloe has demonstrated a notably snarky attitude, as she is always seen making snarks or scoffs in regards to Ash and Goh, and even her own father. She does become less snarky towards them in later episodes, though it shows up again when she gets annoyed at Dawn.
* DeathGlare: Gives a ''terrifying'' one to a couple of girls who mock Jinny's Feebas, complete with Mimikyu's GlowingEyesOfDoom and a fiery aura. They even ''felt'' it!
* DefrostingIceQueen: She starts out quite icy, but gradually mellows out as the episodes go by, and has even started to interact with Ash slightly more as well, along with gaining a growing interest in Pokémon.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Her focus episode of ''[=JN011=]'' has her questioning what she wants to do; her classmates -- and teacher -- push her to have a career in Pokémon because her father is a professor even though she doesn't hate Pokémon but she's not a big lover of them either. Her mom advises her that she needs to find something that gives her joy and that she doesn't have to rush things yet. As time goes on, she becomes more interested in Pokémon; although she confides to Goh in ''[=JN049=]'' that she's still hesitant on actually catching any Pokémon (as she doesn't want to be pressured into it by other people), she ultimately decides to catch Eevee at the end of the episode (resulting in her officially becoming a Trainer and receiving a Rotom Phone) and resolves to take it one step at a time with her new partner. After going through some soul-searching, by ''[=JN120=]'', she seems to have settled onto learning more on Pokémon evolution.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Chloe is not openly hostile towards Ash, she initially has a very frosty relationship with him compared to Goh (who is quick to declare Ash his friend), her father (who makes him and Goh his research fellows), Ren, and Chrysa. She would often ignore him or make an occasional snarky remark in regards to him, and would generally freeze up whenever he tried to talk to her. Over time, she became more comfortable around Ash and seems to have fully accepted him as a friend by [=JN038=], even referring to him as such when talking with Dawn in ''[=JN074=]''. [[spoiler:In [=JN129=], both she and Dawn travel out to Galar to cheer for Ash against Leon in the finals of the Masters Eight Tournament in person.]]
* TheDitherer: Chloe is indecisive to the point where she can't decide whether or not she even likes Pokémon, not helping that she keeps refusing Ash's invitations to join him and Goh, seeming uninterested in trying out new things. Future episodes show her starting to open up to Pokémon and she gets her official starter in ''[=JN049=]''.
* TheDragAlong: Quite literally in episode 38. When Ash and Goh go to collect fossils, they grab and drag her with them twice. Though it turned out for the better since she ends up having a good time.
* {{Expy}}: Chloe shares a majority of Sonia's characterization and traits (from the games), despite the fact Sonia is also a character in the anime, to the point it looks like she's meant to be a younger (but [[DeadpanSnarker snarkier]]) Sonia living with the boys at Vermillion City:
** Chloe is [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife indecisive about her future and can't find the motivation to do anything until she slowly begins to see the worth and enthusiasm in the fantastic creatures in the world, just as how Sonia was constantly drifting in trying to find out her purpose in life.]]
** Chloe has a relative who is a professor, just like Sonia and her grandmother Prof. Magnolia.
** Chloe (or her family) owns a Yamper that likes her, just like Sonia, though she has no Yamper in this iteration.
** Chloe's early childhood was about dealing with Goh's passion for Pokémon, just like how Sonia dealt with Leon's passion for Pokémon in their childhood, albeit with battles. Both Goh and Leon even have similar appearances. The same could be said between her and Ash.
* FlowerMotif: Her family has a flower theme naming, she ties her braid with a flower scrunchie, and she was shown watering plants in the school garden. Her outfit starting in ''[=JN050=]'' includes a cherry blossom and flower petals on her blouse, while her solo traveling outfit in the Darkrai/Cresselia two-parter has a flower design on the end of her pants. Part of her hair's highlights are also in the shape of a flower.
* {{Foil}}:
** With Goh. She wears white with blue accents, he wears grey with red. She's not interested in Pokémon and has no idea what she plans to do for her future while Goh goes on ahead with his goal to capture Mew. Chloe has a frosty relationship with Ash to the point of indifference but Goh immediately calls Ash his best friend. Also while one of Goh's flaws is that he gives up on new things after they go wrong, Chloe's is that she doesn't even ''try'' new things at all and would rather stay stationary than take a step forward. Goh's FatalFlaw stems from shunting off from human connections (as shown in ''[=JN032=]'') while Chloe is more about opening herself to the relationships between humans and Pokemon.
** Chloe is also a foil to Ash: aside from the fact that their first Pokémon is an Electric type, Chloe acts frosty towards Yamper (who is treated more like a pet than a friend) while Ash and Pikachu are best friends. Chloe is shy and withdrawn and doesn't know what to do with her life to the point of never really moving or trying new things (and she doesn't know if she even wants a job revolving around Pokémon) while Ash's goal is to battle Leon again and likes seeing new places and interacting with Pokémon. Chloe also is hesitant to command Yamper to fight whereas Pikachu is ready to go at a moment's notice.
* FriendToAllChildren:
** She's shown to get along very well with Parker's friends as well as Ash and Goh as shown as when she's supporting Jinny and Feeby when she wants to show them how cute it really is, helping her enter a the Talent Show. She additionally gets angry at a bunch of women who bully Jinny for her choice of Pokemon.
** During her first trip to Alola and meeting Professor Kukui and Professor Burnett, she spends most of her time at Kukui's happily playing with Lei.
* GreenEyedMonster: She was jealous of Yamper when she was younger, due to thinking that he would steal away her parents' attention.
* HatesBeingTouched: In ''[=JN020=]'', Chloe screams in terror when Goh's Nidoran (Male and Female) cuddle her and a Pidgey perches on her shoulder. She appears to be getting over this as of ''[=JN029=]'', letting a Pidove her family was taking care of perch on her shoulder without issue, though she still shows some hesistance toward wild Pokemon.
* HiddenDepths:
** ''[=JN011=]'' has Goh mention that Chloe wasn't so cold towards Pokémon in the past, hinting that something must've happened that caused her viewpoint to become jaded.
** In ''[=JN052=]'', she comes up with an elaborate plan to catch a group of Diglett and their Dugtrio leader that were ravaging Laxton's crops.
* IdenticalStranger: In ''[=JN079=]'', she meets a girl called Soleil who looks very similar to her. This becomes a plot point where they decide to swap clothes which causes her to end up being mistaken for Soleil and kidnapped.
* IHatePastMe: Flashbacks of ''[=JN029=]'' reveal that Chloe was always jealous of Yamper as a child. In the present, she's more than a little shocked when she realizes how much of a jerk she was back then.
* InformedAttribute: It's stated that she helps her father with his research but aside from ''[=JN031=]'' she hasn't been seen actually ''helping'' him with anything that involves research at all. This is set to change starting in ''[=JN050=]'' as she finally starts joining Ash and Goh on research.
* IronicName: Her name is based on "Spring" (Japanese) and "Blooming" (Dub) but she doesn't act all that lively, does she? She does start living up to her name over time, though.
* {{Irony}}:
** Doesn't know what to do in life or what interests she likes, yet we see time and time again that she ''refuses'' to try things whenever Ash gives her the chance. She gets better, though.
** She's also the only one that Yamper will take food or commands from, even though she's the least enthusiastic about Pokémon in her family.
* LettingHerHairDown: As shown in Episode 38 when in her pajamas.
* LikeParentLikeChild: She's shown to possess a level of intelligence and compassion, much like her father.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: Despite her dad working as a Pokemon Professor, Chloe has little interest initially in the field, though she slowly grows out of her indifference and eventually gets her own starter and a Rotom Phone.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted. Chloe has several outfits outside of her school uniform (a striped shirt and yellow pants with suspenders, a beige hat/white blouse/blue pants ensemble, a white shirt and pink overall dress, and a pink blouse/yellow jacket/light blue jeans/pink sneakers.)
* MessyHair: Is shown to have incredibly messy hair upon waking up and requires a fair bit of tune-up for it to resemble her usual style. She is quite embarrassed about this as shown when she reads a magazine and finds her mom drew an illustration of her with said bed head. When Dawn witnesses this firsthand, she immediately gets [[MundaneUtility the Piplup conditioner treatment]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''There's a New Kid in Town!'' as a young girl, she got angry at Yamper stealing everyone's attention so she wished for him to go away. She soon realized her mistake and went out to find him again, was menaced by three Venonat in a dark playground, and burst into tears as they approached, but then Yamper came out and shooed them away. After being reminded of these events in the present, Chloe is mortified that she ever treated Yamper so poorly.
* NoLastNameGiven: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Notably, she's a rare CanonForeigner made for the anime with an actual last name.
* NoodleIncident: She was not so indifferent to Pokémon in the past, implying that something caused her to act the way she is today. It may or may not have to do with being jealous of Yamper.
* OnlyFriend: To Goh before Ash entered the scene.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In [=JN011=], when her mother states that she won't get up early to brush her hair...she jumps up and starts yelling frantically showing a rare loss of composure. She even blushes cutely when her mother laughs at the trick used to make her get up.
* OutOfFocus: Is considered the tritagonist of this series, but she doesn't even join Ash and Goh in their adventures (because she goes to school and she constantly shoots down any attempt to join them) nor get a focus episode until ''[=JN011=]'' and even then she's sidelined for Ash and Goh's travels. She starts coming out of this by ''[=JN029=]'' (her ''second'' focus episode), as she's getting some focus again before fading into the background after one minor focus episode in ''[=JN038=]''. By ''[=JN049=]'', she becomes a Pokémon Trainer and gets more character development.
* PinkIsFeminine: She has a ''lot'' of pink on her, fitting her cherry blossom theme. She sleeps in a pink nightgown, her clothes outside her school uniform are pink, and a flashback of her as a child has her a pink dress. Her cellphone, and later Rotom Phone, are also pink. In ''[=JN050=]'', she gains a pink blouse and matching pink shoes. In the 4th outfit, she wears a pink fancy outfit, implying she'll become a Pokemon Coordinator.
* SailorFuku: Her school uniform is a variation of this.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Wears her school's uniform as her main apparel due to her appearances occurring after school, though the design is rather stylized allowing her to stand out. It's notable that her focus episodes starting from ''[=JN029=]'' have her wearing something else other than the uniform to symbolize her CharacterDevelopment and to find a life outside of school.
* ShipTease: Despite being somewhat cold to her childhood friend, Goh, at the start of the series, she appears to have developed feelings for him over the course of the series. She initially shows signs of liking Goh in ''[=JN038=]'' when she blushes admirably at seeing him bonding with Aerodactyl. [[spoiler:It becomes even more evident in ''[=JN126=]'', as during the radio show "Blaze Kick", the show has a segment discussing childhood friends, and it's revealed that Chloe sent a letter to them talking about Goh, where she describes him in an overly positive and glowing manner, making it evident that she admires him greatly and is completely supportive of him. In a post-episode dialogue, Goh and Chloe engage in a phone call while the former is preparing for his Project Mew mission and the latter is looking after his Pokemon at Cerise Lab. Goh suggests he will listen to the radio show Blaze Kick, which gets Chloe extremely flustered and embarassed, telling him that he doesn't have time and he shouldn't do it, to which Goh agrees. After the call, Chloe sighs in relief, seemingly because she is afraid of the prospect of Goh learning about her affection for him in such a manner.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Seems to be this for Chrysa and her friend when she learns a lot about them. Sadly it doesn't work in her favor when she reunites them.
* ShrinkingViolet: Hinted at. While she is comfortable around Goh and some of her school friends, she seems to freeze up when Ash tries to talk to her or when he asks her to join him and Goh. She also is not present during the opening ceremony of her father's research institute where there is a crowd of people. ''[=JN011=]'' expands that it's not people she's uncomfortable with, it's the notion that everyone assumes that she's going to become a Pokémon professor like her father or that she actually likes Pokémon and being that good of a fighter. She gradually grows out of it and in ''[=JN049=]'', she officially becomes a Pokémon Trainer.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Starting in ''[=JN029=]'', she wears something other than her school uniform to symbolize how she isn't tied to her being a student. ''[=JN050=]'' gives her a pink blouse, jeans and yellow shoes to signify that she's now a Pokémon Trainer, although she still has a varied wardrobe
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She clearly gets her looks from her mother.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her focus episodes show that she can be very sweet when she wants to, despite being aloof by default. She later becomes more sweet than frosty.
* SymbolMotifClothing: Her school uniform has anchors on it which represent how she's very stationary with her life and doesn't really try to open up her surroundings. Fittingly she lives in Vermillion City, home of the S.S. Anne which states how she's stuck in her comfort zone and refuses to grow or go on an adventure. Starting with ''[=JN050=]'', she wears a pink shirt with cherry blossoms on it, both befitting her namesake and that she's on the path to blossoming and discovering who she truly wants to be.
* ThemeNaming: In the English version, following her father's name, "Chloe" means "blossoming" (or "fertility") in Greek. Coupled with Cerise, putting their names together can get you "cherry blossom."
* TookALevelInBadass: Though unsure and inexperienced at first, as her experience with Pokémon increased, so did her battling skills. The best example was in ''[=JN079=]'' where using Eevee's Copycat, she managed to defeat all three of Katsuki's Pokemon after she became a DamselOutOfDistress.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: In the end of ''[=JN051=]'', she stopped shyly walking behind Ash and Goh and started running right past them and is a lot more cheerful than ever, showing her development into a Pokémon Trainer. With help from Dawn at the end of ''[=JN074=]'', she learns to stop being so serious about everything and to wind down and have fun with everyone else.
* TookALevelInKindness:
** In ''[=JN029=]'', she takes care of an injured Pidove and even manages to mend her relationship with her Yamper. At the end of the episode, she has learned to appreciate Pokémon more just like the rest of her family.
** In ''[=JN031=]'', she willingly goes out of her way to help Jinny learn how to swim and prepare for the Friendship Contest alongside Ash, Goh and Parker. By the end of the episode, she has come to really love Pokemon.
** In ''[=JN038=]'', she's no longer so cold towards Ash and has managed to form a friendship with him.
** By ''[=JN046=]'', Chloe is much more used to being in the lab and joining in on conversations about Pokémon, to the point that she was almost late for school because of it. Three episodes later, she's now opened her heart to having Eevee as her starter.
** A prominent example shows in ''[=JN074=]'' where after spending her first few episodes avoiding making friends with new people (and taking '''37''' episodes to warm up to Ash), she meets and becomes friends with Dawn very quickly.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards her family's Yamper. Despite being the most outwardly cold towards Yamper out of her family, it has been established that they do have a strong bond, with Yamper only choosing to accept commands and food from her.
* WhatTheHellHero: It wasn't shown onscreen, but at the end of ''[=JN030=]'', it was mentioned by Ash that she had let him have it for unintentionally neglecting Pikachu in favor of Riolu, presumably since the situation had reminded her of what she went through with Yamper.

[[folder:Chloe's Pokémon]]
!!Yamper (Wanpachi)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koharus_yamper_177546_4.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Inuko Inuyama
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/TaraSands

The Cerise family pet, originally a gift from a friend in the Galar region. Although not officially Chloe's first Pokémon, he's very loyal to her and only accepts commands from her.
----
* AngryGuardDog: Towards Ash, at least in the beginning, but he does mellow out. Is more prudent towards enemies such as a wild Gengar who terrorized the Cerise Institute.
* BadassAdorable: He's willing to take on a rogue Gengar and finally knocks it out of the Cerise Institute once Chloe commands him to attack, one-shots a Fearow, and is quick to go into battle against Team Rocket without a sweat.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Acts like this to Eevee when they meet, taking her to Chloe's school and they work together delivering a dual Spark attack on Team Rocket's Pelipper.
* CharacterDevelopment: In ''[=JN029=]'', he grew jealous of the Pidove that Chloe was taking care of. Twenty episodes later, he becomes a big brother to Eevee and leads her to Chloe for help, along with being happy that she's now Chloe's partner.
* CoolBigBro: All of Goh's Pokemon really respect his problem-solving skills. He even earns a nuzzle of approval from ''Suicune'' for his hard work solving the polluted water crisis.
* CurbStompBattle:
** On the giving end. He manages to take out a Fearow on Chloe's command with just Spark when they are protecting an injured Pidove.
** Downplayed against Team Rocket and Pelipper. While his first Spark attack didn't work, he ends up combining power with Eevee -- using Copycat -- to strike back.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 107 is dedicated on him solving problems in the Cerise Institute.
* DecoyProtagonist: At first, it seems like he'll be Chloe's main Pokémon but he ends up getting DemotedToExtra after Eevee comes along.
* DemotedToExtra: After Chloe gets an Eevee, Yamper doesn't get any significance until ''[=JN107=]'', almost ''sixty'' episodes later.
* GreenEyedMonster: Was this towards a Pidove that Chloe was taking care of. Ironically, he was acting very similar to his trainer in the past. It's known to be quite an interesting character strength as Professor Cerise explains that it shows how close he is with Chloe.
* HeroicDog: Attacks Gengar in order to protect Chloe and is quick to fight off foes ranging from a wild Fearow to Team Rocket.
* {{Irony}}: The member of the Cerise family he's closest to is Chloe...the sole member of the family who wants ''little'' to do with Pokémon and can be quite cold towards him. She does eventually warm up to him, though.
* ItWasAGift: As revealed in [=JN029=], Yamper was originally given to Professor Cerise by a friend of his living in the Galar region.
* TheNoseKnows: ''[=JN059=]'' has him using his sense of smell to track down a lost Grookey's trainer.
* MirrorCharacter: To Ash's Bulbasaur as both are mediators in a professor's lab. Bulbasaur is specifically there to quell problems between Grass and Water types while Yamper helps solve problems throughout Goh's Pokémon. Bulbasaur was a protector prior to Ash capturing him while Yamper was a gift and family pet of the Cerise family.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: A corgi who has a very strong Spark attack, capable of one-shotting a Fearow and strong enough that when, combined with Eevee's Copycat, can knock a Hydro-Pump attacking Pelipper out of the sky.
* PreciousPuppy: A cute, corgi-like Pokémon.
* ShockAndAwe: He's an Electric-type with its only move being Spark.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** The journey to go to Alola in ''[=JN037=]'' wouldn't have happened if Yamper didn't find a Leaf Stone for Goh to use on Execcute to evolve into Exeggutor and Ash comparing it to the Exeggutor in Alola.
** Had Yamper not deviated from his walk in ''[=JN049=]'', he wouldn't have bumped into Eevee then subsequently led to them hiding in Chloe's school and Eevee bonding with her.
* UndyingLoyalty:
** To Chloe, so much so that he doesn't battle and accept a command unless Chloe, and ''only'' Chloe, tells him to as shown in ''[=JN011=]''. ''[=JN029=]'' reveals that this is because after a younger Chloe wished that he would disappear, she realized her mistake and went back to find him, thus Yamper repaid this kindness by sleeping in her bed and only eating food given by her.
** Episode 59 shows it is also loyal and willing to obey Goh to whenever he is in need of his assistance.

!!Eevee
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_chloe_eevee.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Kei Shindo
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Erica Schroeder

A female Eevee from a nearby lab who is unable to evolve. After following alongside Yamper and ending up in Chloe's school, she helps fight off Team Rocket and subsequently becomes Chloe's first official captured Pokémon.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: The reason for her inability to evolve is left vague. She seems unable to evolve at all, but one of the scientists studying her proposes that she actually holding back because she hasn't decided what she wants to be yet - a parallel to Chloe herself not able to choose a path in life.
* BadassAdorable: A fluffy little 'mon with the Copycat move capable of knocking Pelipper out of the sky once she copies Spark. Notably, any move she copies seems to be much more powerful than the one who used it. (Example: Dawn's Piplup uses Bubble Beam against a Rhydon but does nothing. Eevee copies it and it goes down with one strike)
* BigBrotherWorship: Idolized Yamper to the point that she wanted to fight alongside him with Copycat to mimic his Spark against Team Rocker's Pelipper (their gacha machine wasn't working at the time).
* ColorCodedElements: While using Copycat, Eevee is surrounded by an aura colored after the type of move she has copied. While the colors usually match those of the types in the games, the Psychic- and Dark-type colors are the exceptions -- being purple and indigo respectively instead of magenta and black or dark brown.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: She stands up on her hind legs trying to lay down for a belly rub like Yamper. Naturally, she falls over and Chloe asks her what she was trying to do.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To the Eevee owned by May, Serena and Lana. She wasn't born in an egg nor found in the wild, can't evolve like May and Serena's did, and she isn't given a nickname -- or haircut -- like Lana's.
** Serena's Eevee was shy and bashful, but had a love of performing; Chloe's Eevee is really eager in trying to be like its evolutions, imitating them as much as she can, and is willing to battle alongside Yamper.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Wants to grow big and strong like it's evolutions, but just can't and is struggling to figure out what to do. This mimics Chloe who is also trying to find what she wants to do in life.
* DreamCrushingHandicap: Wants to evolve like her fellow Eevee, but for some odd reason just can't evolve at all even when touching different stones.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Tries imitating Sylveon and Vaporeon's movements but it's only when we see her ''not'' evolving when touching Evolution Stones that we learn that she can't truly become them.
* IChooseToStay: Decides to stay with Chloe at the end of her debut episode and becomes Chloe's starter Pokémon.
* {{Irony}}: Eevee are well-known for being able to evolve into different forms. This one ''can't''.
* MythologyGag: Appears to be a reference to the Partner Eevee from ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndEevee'', who also couldn't evolve.
* NeverGrewUp: Unlike the other Eevee at the lab, she can't evolve no matter what stone she touches.
* NonElemental: A Normal type that knows Copycat and Tackle.
* NotGrowingUpSucks: Due to her inablity to evolve, she tries to imitate the behavior of other Pokémon such as the other Eeveelutions at the lab or Yamper.
* PersonalityPowers: She tries imitating the characteristics of other Pokémon and she has Copycat to copy their moves.
* PowerCopying: She knows Copycat, allowing her to copy the last move that was used.
* RecurringElement: This isn't the first time an Eevee is a Pokémon of one of Ash's female companions.
* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Has the female's tail markings that form into a heart depending on the angle. She's also the first female of her species to have the gender difference.
* SignatureMove: Copycat, allowing her to copy other moves, most notably the moves of all the Eeveelutions.
* SignatureMon: She's Chloe's first Pokémon and she mirrors her trainer by having a similar goal.

** Mentioned in ''[=JN029=]'' that she had a little sister that she used to be jealous of.
** In ''[=JN047=]'' she's shown to be very enthusiastic and excited at a food-eating contest and is the one spouting exposition to Chloe.
** In ''[=JN057=]'', it's shown her favorite Pokemon is Psyduck since it's the Pokemon her friend has that comforted her when she was upset.
* NotSoStoic: Despite mostly being [[MellowFellow rather calm]], she showcases great enthusiasm toward the Pokemon Eating Contest or whenever it comes to Psyduck.
* SatelliteCharacter: Downplayed. She's one of Prof. Cerise's assistants and that is what we know about her. However, in ''[=JN047=]'' she demonstrates a [[HotBlooded fiery passion]] and a lot of knowledge of the competition, as well as being quite a big fan of a Blaziken and his trainer who often participate in the competition.

A childhood friend of Goh's he met when in Johto.
----
* ActualPacifist: Shows a major dislike for battling and most of his Pokemon use more defensive of healing moves compared to combat based moves.
* AllLovingHero: Dislikes battling others and wants to be friends with everyone, to the point where he openly questions Project Mew's battle royale mission. Deconstructed when he falls for Shunya and Lyra's WoundedGazelleGambit; Goh is quick to see through the obvious trap, but Horace ignores him out of concern for Lyra's Liepard.
* BarrierWarrior: His Gardevoir knows Light Screen and Reflect, which it uses to deflect other Pokemon's attacks.

* HealingHands: His Gardevoir knows Heal Pulse, which it uses to restore Goh's Cinderace.
* {{Irony}}: Horace is an ActualPacifist when it comes to battling, but winds up the winner of the BattleRoyale mission.
* MeaningfulName: Horace is Latin for "man of time", quite fitting for someone who wishes to hunt for the time-travelling Celebi.
* MyGreatestFailure: He fell ill the day after meeting Goh and felt guilty for making Goh believe they weren't friends anymore. Upon finding Celebi's shrine, he wrote a letter for Goh to find to explain what had happened and even wished for Celebi to make him go back in time a year prior just to apologize.

[[folder:Mew]]
-->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KoichiYamadera
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_mew_anime.png]]
The Kanto Mythical that Goh has been chasing since ''[=JN001=]''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass:
** While the Mew in the movies is known to be more playful and rarely battles, this Mew is not afraid to battle if needed and is the only Pokémon able to successfully defeat Danika and Quillon's Urshifu.
** Compared to the games, Mew is very powerful, rare, and extremely versatile, but is not known to have any truly extraordinary powers, and even its status as the ancestor of all Pokémon has never been outright confirmed. The Project Mew finale heavily suggests Mew is linked to the creation of the universe itself, and portrays its power and abilities as virtually godlike in nature.
* AdaptationalJerkass: A slight downplayed version but it seems have a laugh after it takes out all the wild Pokémon on top of all the Chasers, almost like it's teasing them. It doesn't hesitate to directly attack Goh either, but stops once he thanks it for inspiring him.
* AmbiguousSituation: This Mew is voiced by Koichi Yamadera, the voice of Mew from ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', and it has a similar BlueAndOrangeMorality seen in that Mew ([[DubPersonalityChange Japanese version that is]]). But while ''Pokémon Journeys'' does reaffirm the first movie to be still canon thanks to the original Mewtwo guest-starring in an episode, and other members of Legendary/Mythical species would be given different voice actors (such as Mew from the eighth movie), the series never clarifies if this is in fact Mew from the first movie.
* BlowYouAway: Mew is able to use Air Slash, which defeats both forms of Urshifu.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Mew often battles wild Pokémon for fun, often trolling them and laughing at their misery, and it puts both wild Pokémon and Project Mew Chasers in very dangerous situations, treating the whole thing like a game. But should you prove yourself to be pure of heart, Mew will reverse all the damages it caused and actually give you a chance to hold it for a moment... before it teleports away with a laugh.
* CurbStompBattle: To say its battle against the Project Mew Chasers was one-sided would be an understatement. Mew effortlessly takes on '' all five of them at once'', each of which own Legendary Pokémon of their own by this point, even overpowering a joint attack from them with a single massive Shadow Ball.
* ExactWords: After hearing Goh's reasons for why he wants to catch it since he was 5 years-old, Mew decides to grant Goh's wish... by landing in Goh's hand for a few seconds. After that, Mew teleports away with a mischievous laugh.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The Project Mew finale takes its lore of being the ancestor of all Pokémon and interprets it as a borderline RealityWarper, pulling off mind-bending feats left and right with little to no explanation, even by ''Pokémon'' world logic. It can already transform into any other species at will, but it can also split itself into separate Pokémon at once, effortlessly overpower any attack, cancel its own attacks after they've already fired, and instantly heal everyone before teleporting them away. Also, it can seemingly pull out any attack at any time it wishes, despite the anime having firmly settled into the four-move limit by this point.
* PlayingWithFire: Mew has Heat Wave as one of its moves.
* ThePrankster: Mew just wants to have fun teasing and battling against all the people and Pokémon it meets. Mew isn't [[BewareTheSillyOnes afraid to curb stomp]] any wild Pokémon that doesn't want to have fun.
* PsychicPowers: Comes naturally being a Psychic Type.
* SelfDuplication: Mew can not only transform into different Pokémon, but can also split itself into separate Pokémon as well. Groudon and Kyogre seemingly working together to fight off the Chasers? They're revealed to be two halves of Mew.
* ShockAndAwe: Mew is able to use Thunderbolt.
* TimeAbyss: The vision it gives to Goh features the formation of the galaxy, the creation of the Pokémon world, and the evolution of prehistoric Pokémon. It's implied to be Mew's own memories, meaning that Mew has been around for billions of years and predates all know Pokémon with the exception of Arceus and the Creation trio.
* TookALevelInKindness: After Goh thanks Mew, it resolves its ways and heals all the Pokémon it hurt during its rampage and restores the energy in the area that caused the Pokemon to fight in the first place. It then teleports Goh, Horace, Gary, Danika, Quilon and their Pokemon out of the cave and back in the forest again.

[[folder:Latias]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latias_anime_recurring.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KeiShindou

A dragon/psychic-type Legendary Pokémon that Ash encountered on his travels. She first appeared in [=JN137=], injured after Team Rocket smashed into her mid-air, forcing her into a crash-landing. The kind young trainer oblivious to what happened, nurses her back to health.
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Shocked at Ash's genuine concern for her well-being, Latias grabs and saves Ash from plummeting to the Earth, after the boy foils Team Rocket's attempts to steal her away.
* BigDamnHeroes: Ash and Pikachu, overjoyed at being reunited in [=JN142=] carelessly fall down a ravine. Latias stealthy swoops in at the last moment to rescue them, before dropping them off. As she's VisibleInvisibility, no one can detect her, so Ash is clueless how they escaped mortal peril.
* CallOfTheWildBlueYonder: [[spoiler:After escaping Team Rocket she leaves. Ash wonders if they'll ever see her again, but happy to have flown with a Legendary. It's revealed she's now IntriguedByHumanity after his kindness, and trailing him in secret.]]
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: This Legendary Pokémon starts off as nothing like the 5th movie ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'' Latias, who was a very sweet and kind-hearted female dragon Pokémon towards humans right from the outset. Latias here is very distrustful and hostile. She does eventually soften towards Ash after seeing his determination with her own eyes, [[spoiler: later becoming a StalkerWithACrush.]]
* DamselInDistress: Borders into AdaptationalWimp as in-game these Legendaries have solid stats with powerful attacks. Latias collides midair with Team Rocket blasting off after another failed attempt to steal Pikachu. The dragon crashes through the Forest ending up half-drowned in a lake. Ash soon comes to her rescue and nurses her injured wing.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She's ''very cold'' towards Ash trying to help her. When she realizes the trainer wants to free her, she's visibly shocked, and begins to warm up to him.
* HatesBeingTouched: Latias is '''furious''' with Ash and his Pokémon bandaging up her injured wing, and sleeping around her.
* PsychicPowers: She comes to Ash's aid again in [=JN145=] and gives him sight-sharing to show Team Rocket have trapped Pikachu who is outnumbered. Latias then blasts off the thieves with her powers.
* StalkerWithACrush: Its revealed at the end of [=JN137=] [[spoiler:she has taken a liking to Ash, and begun to follow him in secret while remaining invisible overhead. She finally reveals herself to Ash and friends in [=JN145=] to ask for his help in saving Latios from a Hunter]].
* VisibleInvisibility: Like her [[Anime/PokemonHeroes movie counterpart]], she's able to go completely invisible and remain undetected, even as she hovers near people and Pokémon. It's not known whether she has any other unique powers, such as shapeshifting.

* {{Determinator}}: If given a task, Eevee will put her sole focus on it. Best exemplified in ''[=JN068=]'' when Chloe requests Eevee to deliver medicine alongside Goh's Grookey to the Cerise Lab. After Grookey gets distracted and leaps over a fence -- thus having their medicine drop out of their handkerchief -- Eevee quickly remembers Chloe's hopeful wish that Eevee will complete the task, and Eevee decides to take the medicine and race off to the Lab.

* BirdsOfAFeather: With Serena, as the two share a large number of similarities to each other. Their outward personalities are alike, both being kind, polite, and feminine, but with an occasional knack for being snarky and sassy when the situation calls for it. They both started out with no clue what they wanted to do or who they wanted to be in the world, living under the pressure of expectations of being the daughter of a parent who is well known in the world. Both Chloe and Serena met one of the protagonists when they were younger (Goh and Ash, respectively), who they would eventually go on to develop feelings for. The two eventually meet in ''[=JN105=]'', with Chloe's Eevee meeting Serena's Sylveon in turn, and they quickly bonded over their similarities in having a journey of self-discovery and finding out what they wanted to do, with Serena using her experience to teach Chloe some important life lessons and give her the push to try out a Contest Spectacular. They are also shown to get along immediately thanks to their similar personalities.

* TookALevelInBadass:
** In ''[=JN029=]'', she easily defeats a wild Fearow using her Yamper in order to protect Pidove without relying on her father to tell her what to do.
** In ''[=JN049=]'' she fights ''Team Rocket'' and their Pelipper -- their gacha machine isn't working, Ash and Pikachu are in a pit and Sobble and Cinderace are captured -- with Yamper and Eevee (via Copycat) using a double Spark attack.
** In ''[=JN063=]'', she goes out of her way to protect Goh's Dewgong from an angry wild Huntail and manages to defeat it when Eevee uses Hydro Pump via Copycat.
** The best example was in ''[=JN079=]'' where using Eevee's Copycat, she managed to defeat all three of Katsuki's Pokemon after she became a DamselOutOfDistress.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness:
** In the end of ''[=JN051=]'', she stopped shyly walking behind Ash and Goh and started running right past them and is a lot more cheerful than ever, showing her development into a Pokémon Trainer.
** With help from Dawn at the end of ''[=JN074=]'', she learns to stop being so serious about everything and to wind down and have fun with everyone else.

* {{Foil}}: To Ash's Pikachu. Both are Electrical types, with Pikachu acting friendly towards everyone and is an experienced battler. Yamper, in the meantime, is closest only to Chloe to the point of being loyal only to her and has no battle experience at all. Chloe treats Yamper more like a pet, while Pikachu and Ash are best friends. Pikachu was Ash's stater Pokémon whereas Yamper was gifted to the Cerise family.

* OutOfFocus: After Chloe gets an Eevee, Yamper doesn't get any significance until ''[=JN107=]'', almost ''sixty'' episodes later.

* {{Foil}}: To Ash's Pikachu. They're both starters to a trainer who don't evolve[[note]]Pikachu because he chooses not to, while Eevee is unable to for some reason[[/note]] who became official Pokémon partners after they used an Electric-type attack on a Flying-type (Pikachu against the Spearow flock, Eevee against Team Rocket's Pelipper).

A childhood friend of Goh's he met when in Johto.

* ActualPacifist: Shows a major dislike for battling and most of his Pokemon use more defensive of healing moves compared to combat based moves.
* AllLovingHero: Dislikes battling others and wants to be friends with everyone, to the point where he openly questions Project Mew's battle royale mission. Deconstructed when he falls for Shunya and Lyra's WoundedGazelleGambit; Goh is quick to see through the obvious trap, but Horace ignores him out of concern for Lyra's Liepard.
* BarrierWarrior: His Gardevoir knows Light Screen and Reflect, which it uses to deflect other Pokemon's attacks.

* MyGreatestFailure: He fell ill the day after meeting Goh and felt guilty for making Goh believe they weren't friends anymore. Upon finding Celebi's shrine, he wrote a letter for Goh to find to explain what had happened and even wished for Celebi to make him go back in time a year prior just to apologize.

** [[spoiler:He completes a Project Mew mission offscreen during [=JN113=] and earns 3 Project Mew Tokens, allowing him to qualify as a Chaser in 2nd place (only behind Gary).]]

* PsychicPowers: He owns an Indeedee and a Gardevoir.
* RealMenWearPink: All his Pokemon are feminine in appearance (Bayleef has yet to evolve into Meganium), and the Mythical Pokemon he's searching for is the fairy-like Celebi.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has a more tanned skin tone similar to that of Goh's.
* BadassArmfold: Her general pose when she's standing idle.
* BareFistedMonk: She owns a Rapid Strike Urshifu.
* TheCameo: Makes her first small appearance in ''[=JN068=]'' where she rewards Gary with a token.
%%* {{Foil}}: With Quillon.
* MakingASplash: All of her known Pokemon are water types (Rapid Strike Urshifu, Azumarill and Jellicent).
* MeaningfulName:
** Her Japanese name means 'morning sun' as a reference to Pokemon Sun. It's also a reference to the Asahi train service.
** Her dubbed name follows in a similar fashion meaning Morning Star.
* NavelDeepNeckline: PlayedWith. Her jacket is zipped down to her navel, showing off her stomach and chest, but while this would usually also show generous cleavage, in this case she's still wearing a tube top.
* NiceGirl: Out of the two chasers, she's much friendlier and more supportive towards Goh and his quest to become a chaser.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She owns an Azumarill, a part Fairy Type.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: She and Quilon make their appearance in the 4th opening for the anime, showing how Goh is aiming to be a Pokemon Chaser.
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm and friendly Blue Oni to Quillon's more serious Red Oni.
* SoulPower: She owns a Jellicent, a part Ghost Type which knows Night Shade.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She initially appears to be a pretty strict and serious trainer as shown when giving Ash and Goh their first mission. After Goh completes the mission, however, she cheerfully congratulates him and informs him that his mission was simply a test to see if Goh was qualified to be a proper Project Mew challenger.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Downplayed. While her main theme colour is blue, having blue eyes and hair with a blue outfit and Rotom Phone, she is pretty much more tomboyish in nature.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female chaser.
