When {{Ash}} first met Luana in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', she mistook him for her son, [[Travis]]; Ash bears a striking resemblance to Travis, who also has a {{p|Pikachu}}. She misses her son and wishes to care for him again. Luana's maternal side extends to her [[Pokémon]], whom she cares for deeply, treating each one like her own child.
