Officer Jenny ensures the integrity of the area's large population, which are illegal to catch under the local Quagsire Preservation Restrictions. The Quagsire are highly revered by locals as s of water quality and symbols of good fortune. Every year, the Quagsire swim down from nearby Blue Moon Falls and take round objects from around the city as a part of a special lunar festival. The items float downstream and are believed to be blessed once returned; the final item is considered particularly lucky.
One of the round objects the Quagsire were interested in was the GS Ball. Ash was reluctant to let them have it, but ultimately, the slippery Quagsire made away with the item, though it was eventually returned by the river, along with the rest of the taken items, allowing Ash to recover it.
Alex Davis from Power Play! is from Cherrygrove City, as is Salvador, a who Ash d in A Claim to Flame!.
