Anela (Japanese: モアニ Moani) is a recurring character who appeared in the Pokémon anime. She is a friend of Ash's Torracat and runs a fruit stall in the Hau'oli City marketplace.
History
Anela first appeared in First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!, where she provided Litten some Berries. After spotting a flock of Pikipek, Trumbeak, and Rowlet fly overhead, she explained to Litten that the flock visits the market every year to collect food. Anela happily donated some fruit to the Flying-type Pokémon.
Anela reappeared in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!, where she provided Litten with some more berries and explained to Ash and Professor Kukui that Litten does this every day.
In One Journey Ends, Another Begins..., Anela picked up a doughnut that had fallen out of Ash's bag. She went to give it back to Ash only for Litten to grab it and run off. Ash also visited her following Stoutland's disappearance, to which Anela gave him some berries to deliver to Litten and instructed him to tell Litten it could come to the marketplace anytime.
Anela has attended multiple events at the Pokémon School including the Family Visit Day in Alolan Open House! and she watched Ash and his classmates perform in the school play in SM093.
She appeared yet again in All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!, where her name was finally revealed by Mallow. Anela met Mallow and Steenee in the market place where she gave Steenee some fruit and watched as it danced. She went on to show Mallow the Hula Dance and brought out her Oricorio to perform it on the street, which inspired Mallow and Steenee to do it for their upcoming Pokémon Dance performance. She was invited to the Pokémon School for a Pokémon Dance presentation, where it was revealed that she used to be a Dancer. She was later trapped by Team Rocket and watched as Steenee evolved into Tsareena.
Ash and his friends often visit Anela's fruit stall, where she happily offers them and their Pokémon bowls of produce free of charge like in The Ol' Raise and Switch! and SM099. In SM102, she met Misty who was visiting Alola and laughed after Psyduck swallowed a watermelon whole.
She attended Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's wedding in The Professors' New Adventure!.
Anela appeared again in the banned episode SM064, where she got to meet Litten for the first time after its evolution into Torracat and gave it some Berries to eat. She also witnessed a fight between two groups of Passimian.
In Dummy, You Shrunk the Kids!, Anela she offered an apple to a shrunken Sophocles and his Togedemaru, before Ash and Lillie arrived at her stall.
Anela briefly reappeared in Securing the Future!, where she joined the rest of Alola in showering Necrozma with light so it could return to its true form.
Character
Anela is an affable and generous personality, as shown through her friendship with Litten. She is a community-minded individual and enjoys an event-filled calendar outside of her role as a greengrocer. In Real Life...Inquire Within!, she delivered Berries to Nurse Joy after learning that she was unwell. Anela often gives Ash, his friends and their Pokémon bowls of fruit, free of charge, when they visit her stall.
