'''Florinda Showers''' (Japanese: '''リンドウ・ムラサメ''' ''Lindow Murasame'') is a [[character of the day]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''. | '''Florinda Showers''' (Japanese: '''リンドウ・ムラサメ''' ''Lindow Murasame'') is a [[character of the day]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''. | ||
Florinda | Florinda owns the [[Xanadu Nursery]], after inheriting it from her still living parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She has very long purple hair and bright amethyst eyes. She wears a yellow, almost gown-like sun dress and a green jacket on top. | ||
Florinda | Florinda is an expert on plants, especially those in the [[Pokémon world]], and those with special properties which can affect [[Pokémon]]. She cares very much for her plants, declaring that they are like "children" to her, and cares as much for her Gloom. Since she runs the Nursery for her parents, she feels that they expect a lot from her, thus giving her a few confidence issues. She is very sweet and gentle, but too self-pitying. | ||
Although Brock had helped her, Florinda's true love was [[Potter]], an employee at the Xanadu Nursery. She asked if he wanted to help her manage it, and he agreed, both | Her confidence issues seem to have begun when she tried using a [[Evolutionary stone#Leaf Stone|Leaf Stone]] on her {{p|Gloom}}. She thinks that even with the Evolution Stone, she was not able to evolve her Gloom because of not training it properly enough. She reciprocates these confidence issues with her running the nursery. She finds out later that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by [[Brock]] (who, as usual, is smitten over the beautiful Florinda)). They find out later on that it was all [[Team Rocket]]'s doing, but then, Florinda blames herself too much for being so gullible, even going to the extent that she says that she's useless. | ||
She had trained her Gloom well enough and thoroughly properly, though, and much better than she thought she had. She finally realized her potential when Team Rocket started making off with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and everyone except for her and her Gloom had been afflicted by Stun Stem, a plant located in the nursery that [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralyzed]] everyone. Along with some encouragement from [[Brock]], Florinda gathered the confidence she needed to defeat Team Rocket and save Pikachu. | |||
Although Brock had helped her, Florinda's true love was [[Potter]], an employee at the Xanadu Nursery. She asked if he wanted to help her manage it, and he agreed, both realizing that they had fallen in love with each other. This portion also contained a funny scene, in which Brock is anguished by Florinda's declaration of love to Potter. Since Brock helped Florinda regain her confidence, he naturally thought that he had won the affection of Florinda, but it actually did not happen. | |||
Here is a portion of the dialog with ASh and Brock conversing after Potter and Florinda's revelations: | |||
::Brock: "Rejected...by the only girl I ever loved!"<br>Ash: *sweatdrop* "Uh...that's ok Brock. You'll find plenty of other girls to reject you!" | |||
Potter and Florinda now manage the Xanadu Nursery, working hand-in-hand to take care of the plants contained within it. | |||

Florinda's gloom is very powerful, as it even knows a very strong [[Solar Beam]]. Like its owner, though, Gloom also has a few confidence issues, mirroring its owner's self-pity. Gloom's self-confidence, though, is still a notch higher than Florinda's as it needed less coaching to battle [[Team Rocket]]. Gloom gains the affection of [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] at the beginning of the episode, after the former saved the latter from the [[Status ailment#Paralysis|Paralyzing]] effects of [[Pokénip]] plant. | |||
