Whitney: Difference between revisions

type={{type2|Normal}}s |

'''Whitney''' (Japanese: '''アカネ''' ''Akane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Goldenrod City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Goldenrod Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Plain}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She is a young woman who uses {{type2|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Whitney uses the {{type2|Normal}}, and although she only began battling a little while ago, her talent attracted the [[Pokémon League]] to choose her as a Gym Leader. Her Gym is filled with other young girls like herself, who use cute Normal-type Pokémon like {{p|Meowth}}, and is shaped like a {{p|Clefairy}}—a Pokémon she uses in every game she appears in. While in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} all challengers have to do to reach Whitney is navigate through the Gym's maze puzzle, Whitney is initially absent from the Gym in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. She can be found in Goldenrod's [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] attempting to win a {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|Radio Card}}. If the player helps her, she will return to the Gym. Despite this act of kindness, she will throw a temper tantrum upon defeat and refuse to give the {{Badge|Plain}}. A Gym Trainer will tell the player that she will eventually calm down. Once calmed down, however, she will give not only the Badge, but {{TM|45|Attract}} as well. Apparently, this move is perfect for a cutie like her, because it makes full use of a Pokémon's cuteness.
