(Japanese: マトリ Matori), or Giovanni's secretary (Japanese: サカキの秘書 Sakaki's secretary) in the English dub, is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime, making her debut appearance in Memories are Made of Bliss!.
History
In Memories are Made of Bliss!, TRDelibird ([[{{{2}}} (move)|{{{2}}}]]) arrived in Sinnoh to inform Jessie, James, and Meowth to contact Team Rocket headquarters immediately. When they did, instead of reaching Giovanni as they expected to, Matori greeted them. She informed the trio that they had to return to headquarters right away for an assignment from their Boss himself. Later, Matori delivered the files on Jessie, James and Meowth to Giovanni for review before being dismissed.
In the Best Wishes series, Matori appears several times, most often alongside Giovanni, performing important tasks such as informing the trio that they cannot use their old Pokémon in Unova and updating Giovanni on the movements of a secret organization as well as things as simple as making coffee.
In Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!, after the events in Castelia City, she temporarily dismisses Jessie, James and Meowth to act on their own in Unova, telling them that Giovanni is very busy and cannot give them any more missions at the present time.
After a long absence, she made a brief, non-speaking cameo appearance alongside Giovanni in Unrest at the Nursery!.
