Kris's journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks her to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because she may encounter dangerous [[wild Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon to protect her: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Kris meets a boy watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Kris's rival, analogous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].

[[File:Marina Johto.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Marina}}, Kris's anime counterpart]]
{{jo|Marina}}, one of the main characters in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', is the {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart of Kris. She is a talented [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and a former [[Grand Festival]] winner.
Kris, like the other in-game characters, has an anime counterpart in {{jo|Marina}}. However, the two are not interchangeable and neither name applies to both, much like the case with {{Ash}} and {{ga|Red}}.
