>While Ash wouldn't notice due to being with her all the time, most people would consider her quite the beauty, in fact, when she was 17 she appeared on the front cover of the new year bumper issue of “Pokémon Pals” alongside a flower Pokémon known as Bellsprout.It was the biggest thing to happen in Pallet Town since Pallet Oak reached 931st on the trainer charts.
It was approximately two years later that Ash was born, however she has never told him about her appearance in that special edition of “Pokémon Pals” because “I was so immature back then, yaaah~ ”
