Erika (Kanto)

## Erika

**Erika**, is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. She is a human Gym Leader of the Celadon Gym and lead commander of a freedom branch in the Kanto region.

Described as a "**Nature-Loving Princess**", she has a strange habit of dozing off in her gym from time to time. She specializes in Grass-type Pokémon and rewards out the Rainbow Badge to trainers who would defeat her in the gym battle.

"*Oh, hello there. My name is Erika. Nice to meet you. I've brought many wreaths with me today! I am quite fond of plant-type Pokémon. How about you? Would you like to help me decorate? Or maybe have a Pokémon battle with me? If you desire the Rainbow Badge, you must prove your skill to me.*"

—Erika.

## Personality

Erika has a kind personality, as she teams up and leads her fellow Gym Leaders in her region to combat the rising threats like Team Rocket, or the Eggman Empire. She has also shown herself to be cruel, particularly against a unique Eevee whom Red and Ash had rescued; however, this was just a facade to test their allegiances. She is quite kind to the people of Celadon City, who view her as their leader.

Since *Johto Arc*, however, Erika appears to have a slightly more mischievous side, in which she gives her a habit of spreading damaging gossip about the Gym Leaders from other regions, especially Clair.
