'''Marina''' (Japanese: '''マリナ''' ''Marina'') is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} from [[New Bark Town]], she is one of the main characters of The Legend of Thunder!.  

==History==

Her [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] was a {{p|Totodile}}. She received her [[starter Pokémon]] at the same time as {{jo|Jimmy}} and [[Vincent]].

===The Legend of Thunder!===

She appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where she [[Pokémon battle|battled]] [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] to save {{OBP|Raikou|Legend of Thunder}} with the help of {{jo|Jimmy}}, [[Vincent]], and [[Eusine]].  

===In the ''Advanced Generation'' series===

In the intro of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Marina is seen running by the coast with {{p|Lugia}} and her three Pokémon: [[Little Miss]], [[Wani-Wani]], and Little Pink.

===In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series===

In ''[[DP010|Not on My Watch Ya Don't]]'', Marina appears on the cover of a magazine, modeling the [[Pokétch]]. This may imply her goal of becoming an idol has come true. Additionally, she makes another cameo appearance in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', performing in a contest on [[Zoey]]'s [[PC]]. [[Marian]] calls her a "Top Coordinator". This would imply she has a [[Contest Pass]] for either [[Johto]] or [[Sinnoh]]. Marina even appears to have her own merchandise; one of the customers to the café in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' wears a t-shirt with Marina's face on it.

She loves cute {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and cute nicknames (Little Pink for her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, for instance), and does synchronized movements with them when she calls them out.

Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a "Pokémon Idol". The specifics of being a Pokémon Idol are never made clear in the anime, but it seems to entail putting on a show while battling. Notably, she first appeared before the debut of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, though in recent appearances, she was shown to become a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} herself. She also entered the [[Silver Conference]] along with Jimmy a full year before [[Vincent|Jackson]].

It was last seen in Marina's cameo in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down]]'' being used in a double performance with [[Wani-Wani]].

Little Pink's known moves are {{m|Sing}} and {{m|Psychic}}.}}

* When Jackson ([[Vincent]]) appeared in the [[Silver Conference]], he referred Marina and {{jo|Jimmy}} as "Dani" and "Yoshi", leading many to believe that "Dani" was the official English name for Marina. Whether this was the original intention remains unknown. However, in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', she is properly identified as Marina.  

* Even though the specifics of being a Pokémon Idol are never made clear in the anime, a [[List of Trainer classes|Trainer class]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] is known as {{tc|Idol|Pokémon Idols}}. One of them, after battle, states "A Pokémon idol follows their fans, while a Trainer follows their Pokémon".
