Sakura

Ash, Misty and Brock first encounted Sakura Kimono and her {pkmn|pokemon|133} in {pkmn|location|137}. She is around Misty's age and has four sisters, which explains why she and Misty became such good friends. She wanted to see the world and asked if she could join the gang, and they agreed.

However, her sisters said she could only go if either Ash, Misty or Brock beat them all. Each sister had an evolution of Eevee - {pkmn|pokemon|134}, {pkmn|pokemon|135}, {pkmn|pokemon|136} and {pkmn|pokemon|197}.

After visiting {pkmn|location|138}, {pkmn|location|139} and the {pkmn|location|146}, our heroes stopped off in Ecruteak again, on the way to {pkmn|location|140}. Misty told Ash and Brock she had received an email from Sakura and they were going to meet her again. She met them with a newly evolved {pkmn|pokemon|196}. Later, she and Misty had a one-on-one Pokémon battle. Misty won thanks to her new {pkmn|pokemon|222}.

When the drama was over Sakura announced she was ready to go on a Pokémon journey. Her sisters agreed as she had proven herself, beating Team Rocket. Misty offered that she could join them, but Sakura declined. Ash, Misty, Brock and the Kimono sisters waved her off as she headed for {pkmn|location|134}.
