==In the games==
'''Professor Aurea Juniper''' (Japanese: '''アララギ博士''' ''Dr. Araragi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[Nuvema Town]] in the [[Unova]] region. She specializes in the origins of Pokémon.
Professor Juniper debuted in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where, like the other professors, she will give the {{player}} a [[Pokédex]] in her lab; however, she leaves a present containing the [[starter Pokémon]] at the player's house for the player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]].


She also demonstrates to the player how to capture their first Pokémon, a level 2 {{p|Patrat}}, with her level 7 {{p|Minccino}}.
==In the core series games==
Professor Juniper debuted in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where, like the other professors, she will give the {{player}} a [[Pokédex]] in her lab; however, she leaves a present containing the [[first partner Pokémon]] at the player's house for the player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]]. She also demonstrates to the player how to capture their first Pokémon, a level 2 {{p|Patrat}}, with her level 7 {{p|Minccino}}.


Over the course of the game, if the player visits her in her lab, Professor Juniper will hand out a total of three TMs depending on the number of Unova Pokédex Pokémon the player has seen. They are {{TM|54|False Swipe}} (at 25 seen), {{TM|17|Protect}} (at 60 seen), and {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} (at 115 seen).
Over the course of the game, if the player visits her in her lab, Professor Juniper will hand out a total of three [[TM]]s depending on the number of Unova Pokédex Pokémon the player has seen: {{TM|54|False Swipe}} after seeing 25 Pokémon, {{TM|17|Protect}} after seeing 60 Pokémon, and {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} after seeing 115 Pokémon.
 
In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, the player can call her over Xtransceiver to have the Pokédex evaluated, or to ask how a Pokémon in their party evolves.

'''At [[Nuvema Town]]'''
:''"Hi there! I've been waiting for you young people! Let me introduce myself again. My name is..."''
:''"Come, come, [[Cheren]]! This is not a time to take things lightly. Today is a day to remember always, so it's best to behave with some formality. That being so, once again, my name is Professor Juniper, and I am researching when and how the creatures called Pokémon came into existence. Oh, that's unusual! You've already had a Pokémon battle! So maybe that's why... It feels as though your Pokémon have already begun to trust you! By the way, would you like to give your Pokémon a nickname?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Uh-huh, I see. Are you OK with the nickname <nickname>?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"<nickname> is its name. That is such a great name!"''
::'''No''': ''"You aren't planning to use a nickname? Well, that's fine, too."''
:''"As for why I gave all of you Pokémon..."''
:''"I am astonished. Nice work, Cheren! You have already studied Pokémon extensively, haven't you? Still, let me explain everything from the beginning, for everyone's sake. The Pokédex is a high-tech device that automatically records the Pokémon you encounter! So, I want you three to visit many places and meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova region! This is my request. <player>! Cheren! [[Bianca]]! You'll go on an adventure to complete the Pokédex, will you not?"''
::'''No''': ''"Here is what I need from you! What I want to hear are the courageous words of people who will blaze new paths around the world! I want you three to travel to many distant places and meet all of the Pokémon in the Unova region!"''
:''"All of you, thanks! You have given me the best possible answer!"''
:''"Next, I need to teach you how to meet Pokémon. Please meet me at Route 1, OK?"''


'''At [[Unova Route 1|Route 1]]'''
==In the anime==
:''"Now that everyone's here, I'll explain. The Pokédex's pages update automatically whenever you meet a Pokémon! Moreover, it's set up so that you obtain even more information when you catch a Pokémon! To make this clear, I'm going to demonstrate how to catch a Pokémon!"''
===Main series===
[[File:Juniper anime.png|thumb|220px|Professor Juniper in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Professor Juniper debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' as an old friend of {{an|Professor Oak}}. She gave {{Ash}}, {{Delia}}, and Oak a ride in her SUV to her lab so she could study [[Ash's Pikachu]] who was ill. Later, she showed Ash the Unova [[first partner Pokémon]], then gave [[Trip]] his first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}.


:''"Did you see that, just now? Here's how it goes, step by step. First, reduce the Pokémon's HP! Pokémon that still have all of their energy are difficult to catch. If you can, use your Pokémon's moves to make the Pokémon you want to catch fall asleep. Or paralyze it! And to wrap this up in the best way, I have a gift for you- some Poké Balls!"''
Ash later returned to Professor Juniper's lab after finding out that Pikachu had lost his electricity from {{p|Zekrom}}. Later the storm arrived again but this time it gave Pikachu's electric powers back, and Ash departed from her lab the next day.
:''"Poké Balls are used for catching Pokémon and for carrying the Pokémon you catch! I'm going on ahead. I'll be waiting for you in [[Accumula Town]]!"''


*On Xtransceiver
In ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', Juniper sent Ash the Poké Ball belonging to the {{AP|Oshawott}} that was supposed to go to a new Trainer, but wandered away to go with Ash. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'' it was shown that she had sent {{an|Bianca}} to give Ash his Badge case. She then spoke to Ash via Bianca's [[Xtransceiver]].
:''"Hello! How is everybody doing? You and your Pokémon are getting along great now, right?"''
:''"Right now, I'm in front of Accumula Town's Pokémon Center! I'd like to show you around, so hurry on over, everyone!"''
:''"OK! See you!"''


'''At Accumula Town'''
Ash sent his {{AP|Pidove}} to her in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', in order to make room for his newly captured {{AP|Sewaddle}}. He switched them in ''[[BW021|The Lost World of Gothitelle!]]''.
:''"Ah, <player>! There you are! Traveling with your Pokémon is truly one of the joys of being a Trainer! Please follow me. I'd like to show you the most important place for a Trainer to know!"''
:''"This is a Pokémon Center! Don't you feel better as soon as you step through the door? OK, let's start your tour!"''
:''"A Pokémon Center is a truly incredible place! Do you know why? Because your Pokémon can be healed! And, what's more, it's absolutely free! A Pokémon Center is a Trainer's best friend! Here, <player>, give it a try."''
:''"You should be talking to the lady at the counter, not to me..."''
:''"Hey, <player>. Where are you off to? Humor me and talk to the lady at the counter. Let her take your Pokémon."''


:''"OK. Now that your Pokémon have rested, I'll show you how to use the PC at a Pokémon Center. This is the PC. It's free for any Trainer to use. You can store Pokémon in your PC Boxes or select Pokémon stored in your PC Boxes to take along with you. In addition, if you catch a new Pokémon while you have six Pokémon traveling with you, the Pokémon you just caught is sent automatically to the PC network! Surprising, isn't it? Amazing, even. Here's something else that's cool. If you select my PC, I'll evaluate the progress you've made on your Pokédex!"''
In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Professor Juniper and her lab assistants monitored {{p|Venipede}} swarm event in [[Castelia City]], and they quickly identified that the problem was linked with strong energy waves coming from the [[Desert Resort]]. She flew over to Castelia and met up with Ash and {{ashfr}} to investigate the unusual activity caused by [[Team Rocket]]. She was also set to appear in the unaired and non-canonical [[BW023 (unaired)|final]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] of Team Rocket's [[Meteonite]] mission; in May 2023, the scripts for these episodes surfaced,<ref>https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/bw023-bw024-unaired-scripts-found.297127/</ref> revealing that Juniper was to be involved in investigating the history of the [[Relic Castle]] and would recover a small Meteonite stolen by Team Rocket from the [[Nacrene City]] museum so it could be returned to [[Lenora]].
:''"Very good, Bianca. That's a great observation! Good question, and I'd like to say more, but for now, just ignore that and go ahead and use the PC. [[Amanita|"Someone"]] is the person who made the Pokémon Storage System. ...Someone I'm sure you'll meet someday! OK, let's move on!"''
:''"Now, this is the Poké Mart. This is the place to buy useful items and sell the ones you don't need anymore! That gentleman over there will help you with a smile! So, let's wrap this up. I've given you the basics of being a Trainer! I'm going to head back to Nuvema Town. One final thing... When you get to [[Striaton City]], go and meet an inventor named [[Fennel]]. She's a friend of mine from long ago, and I'm sure she'll help you on your way! Best of luck! I hope that your journeys prove to be the adventure of a lifetime!"''


'''At [[Unova Route 4|Route 4]]''' (on Xtransceiver)
In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', [[Fennel]] helped Juniper revive an {{p|Archen}} from a [[Plume Fossil]]. Archen later evolved into {{p|Archeops}} and left with a passing flock of Archeops. While the encounter was brief, Juniper was able to document the [[cry]] and behavioral data on the Archen evolutionary line.
:''"Hello there! <player>, do you have a second?"''
:''"I called Bianca too, but I guess she didn't hear the call. I wonder what she's caught up in. Well, I suppose I'll just have to call her again later. OK! I'll be waiting for you two in front of the [[gate]] to [[Nimbasa City]]!"''


'''At Nimbasa Gate'''
In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', the group encountered Professor Juniper while she and her team were conducting research on the electric stones of [[Chargestone Cave]]. Juniper also met up with Bianca for their planned [[trade]] in ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]''. Juniper traded her {{p|Karrablast}} for Bianca's {{p|Shelmet}}, making both of them evolve at [[Chargestone Cave]]. In order to help Bianca work with her new {{p|Escavalier}}, Professor Juniper suggested they have a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Ash and Cilan, who used {{AP|Boldore}} and {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}, respectively. Although Professor Juniper's {{p|Accelgor}} and Bianca's Escavalier learned to work together and eventually defeat Boldore, they were both defeated by Crustle's {{m|Rock Wrecker}}. Juniper was surprised to encounter her father [[Cedric Juniper|Cedric]], who revealed that he had located the [[Hero's Ruin]]. Ash's group left with Cedric in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]'', while Professor Juniper remained behind to continue her Chargestone Cave research.
:''"Hello, <player>!"''
:''"[[Elesa]] called and was asking me all about {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, and I thought about you guys. That's why I wanted to see you. Ta-da! Freebies for you! Here, Cheren! You, too, <player>."''
:''"If you see a Pokémon that you want to have join you, be sure to use a good type of Poké Ball. Because this could be the first and last time you see that Pokémon! I know it might seem strange for me to say this, since I'm the one who asked you to complete the Pokédex, but please, remember to enjoy your journey! Of course, I'm not saying you can just neglect the Pokédex. But you know that! Now, if you'll please excuse me, I have to go meet Bianca."''


'''At [[Chargestone Cave]]'''
In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Juniper met up with Ash and his friends again when they returned to Nuvema Town after the [[Vertress Conference]]. She also presented a beginner Trainer, [[Nanette]], the three first partner Pokémon. After some thinking, Nanette chose {{p|Tepig}} as her first Pokémon. Juniper also received a call from her father, who revealed that the [[White Ruins]] had been discovered. While Juniper was unable to join her father, she suggested Ash's group visit the new [[Aspertia Gym]] en route to the White Ruins.
:''"Hi there! How are you, <player>? This place is always charged with lots of electricity that Pokémon like! The electric charges react from one stone to another, and that's why some of the stones are floating! But not all of the stones can be pushed. [[Cedric Juniper|My father]] asked me to research {{p|Klink}}, which is a Pokémon that looks like a gear, because I'm researching the origins of Pokémon and the era they appeared. He knows how to get what he wants from people, but I was already interested in this anyway, so it's a lot of fun! Oh yeah! <player>, this is for you!"''
:''"Giving that Lucky Egg to a Pokémon to hold increases the amount of Exp. Points received in battle by a lot! Having strong Pokémon will make it easier to fill your Pokédex pages!"''
:''"<player>! Are you working on your Pokédex? Keep encountering lots of Pokémon, so you can keep filling those pages!"''


:''"Hi there! Did you find something? I think we're just about done collecting data. This cave has been around since the distant past, but... Data to prove that Klink existed more than a hundred years ago can't be found. So that must mean... Klink suddenly appeared a hundred years ago! Where Pokémon came from and where they are going... If we can learn that, I believe we can get along even better!"''
In ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', Juniper told Ash and {{ashfr}} about a cruise that would travel through the [[Decolore Islands]] to [[Kanto]], after they expressed their wishes to travel to Kanto together. She bought tickets for them to board the ship, but a disguised [[James]] bumped into her on purpose to switch the tickets around with fakes to lure Ash and his friends into another scheme of {{TRT}}'s. She wished the group all the best before returning to her lab. She also made plans to transfer Ash's Unova Pokémon from her lab to [[Professor Oak's laboratory]].


:''"Bianca, you have good ears. I can't believe you heard <player>'s voice from that far away. <player>, who is [[N|this Trainer]]?"''
Juniper made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
:''"Oh, my. Looks like you're not my biggest fan. Your opinion is understandable. It happens to be different from mine, which is equally understandable. How about if all people get to decide for themselves how to relate to Pokémon?"''
:''"Well, I didn't expect him to change his mind right away. But I hope he'll spend a little time trying to understand how others feel. Now, then... I think I'll go collect a little more data. For Pokémon and people to get along better, we need to take steps to learn more about them!"''


'''At [[Relic Castle]]'''
====Character====
Professor Juniper is pleasant and mature. She willingly offers her assistance, even providing {{ashfr|Ash's group}} with ship tickets on two occasions, in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', respectively. She has a particular interest in the origins of Pokémon. Juniper is often busy with multiple projects at any given time, all of which require extensive fieldwork and data analysis back at the lab.


*via Xtransceiver
====Pokémon====
:''"<player>! <player>!! Hello? <player>!! Oh! You picked up! Hey, <player>. Come to the museum in [[Nacrene City]] immediately! Right away, got it? I mean right now!"''
This listing is of Professor Juniper's known Pokémon:
 
*At the entrance
:''"Hi there, <player>! I heard about these Pokémon statues, and I came to look into their origins! I've learned that each of these Pokémon statues is actually a real Pokémon! It's called {{p|Darmanitan}}. It's sleeping, so it's become like a stone. When I quickly measured how long they've existed... It was amazing! Around 2,500 years! Seems like they went to sleep that long ago. That means they've been here since before this place was in ruins, when the Relic Castle was flourishing. Perhaps they were guarding the city. These Pokémon... They are either in a state of hibernation or meditation, so if you wake them, they will become active once again. And the item that wakes up Darmanitan is actually...this RageCandyBar! That's why I will share one with you, too, <player>!"''
:''"Well, I'm headed back to the Pokémon Research Lab. Be seeing you!"''
 
'''At Nacrene City'''
:''"[[Alder]] told me what's going on. <player>, you got caught up in something serious, it seems..."''
:''"...I looked into that."''
:''"That's right! [[Opelucid City]]'s [[Drayden]] might know something!"''
:''"I'm going to head back to the lab and do some research... I'll see if I can uncover what kinds of being these legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are and if there is any way to awaken them..."''
 
'''At Opelucid City'''
:''"...Hello! Was Drayden as tough as ever?{{sup/5|Bl}}/How was [[Iris]] doing?{{sup/5|W}} Oh, I came to report on how to resurrect the legendary {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}}. I thought it would be better to tell you in person than over the Xtransceiver. And as for the conclusion... Well, I haven't figured it out yet. I'm sure the Pokémon will wake up when it deems someone worthy. More importantly, aren't you amazing! You have all eight of Unova's Gym Badges now, right? You've become so strong! You probably don't even know it, but you've changed a lot since you left Nuvema Town. Well then, I'll show you where such a strong Trainer should head next!"''
:''"Pass through that gate, go down [[Unova Route 10|Route 10]], and you'll arrive at the Badge Check Gates! Once you get through [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Victory Road]], which is past the gates, you're finally at the Pokémon League! Oh, that just made me think of when I was showing you around the Pokémon Center in Accumula Town. <player>? Do you regret setting out on your Pokémon journey?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Oh! That's OK, don't worry! You don't have to tell me everything. But I'm very happy that you three chose to train Pokémon! Because they create chances to meet more wonderful people and Pokémon!"''
::'''No''': ''"Thanks! That's the greatest answer you could give! I was really happy to be able to give you three those Pokémon as a present! Because Pokémon create chances to meet more wonderful people and Pokémon!"''

:''"This Master Ball is the most powerful kind of Poké Ball. It can catch any Pokémon without fail. This is the only way I can support you, except to say... Be true to yourself. No matter what happens, stay strong and keep going with your Pokémon! See you!"''

'''[[Mistralton City]]'''
: ''"Hi there, <player>! It's nice to finally be able to talk to you in person! I'm Professor Juniper! You accepted the [[Pokédex]] and came all the way out here with your partners… Here, I'll evaluate your progress for you! So, <player>, you've seen <number> Pokémon up to this point! I see! Thank you! This is a token of my gratitude."''
: ''"This {{Ball|Master}} is the most powerful kind of [[Poké Ball]]. It can catch any Pokémon without fail. Journeys are about meeting Pokémon. Don't let a chance get away! Still, I'm amazed how much Pokémon distribution changes in two years. That means my research will never end. Still, you could say that's what makes it fun…"''
: ''"Why, if it isn't [[Skyla]]! This is Skyla. She's Mistralton City's [[Gym Leader]]."''
: ''"Aha ha! You're right. But I have a quick favor to ask first. I want a look at [[Celestial Tower]]. Do you mind waiting till I'm through? See you, <player>! Be sure to always get along with all kinds of Pokémon!"''
 
'''Celestial Tower'''
: ''"Hi there! How were things with Skyla? Oh? You still haven't earned the [[Gym]] [[Badge]] yet? Well, if that's the case, I'll keep up the field work until the plane is ready to fly. Oh yeah! Why don't you try using this?"''
: ''"Giving that {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}} to a Pokémon to hold increases the amount of [[experience|Exp. Points]] received in battle a little bit! Having strong Pokémon will make it easier to fill your Pokédex pages!"''
 
'''In front of the [[Mistralton Gym]]'''
: ''"Hi there! I hope we can get some good research done on the other side of the mountain as well. That's right! I want you to take this flight, too! There's someone I want you to meet in [[Opelucid City]], but we can't get through Twist Mountain right now. We'll just make a quick flight over to [[Lentimas Town]]! I'll be waiting for you in Mistralton Cargo Service!"''
 
'''{{DL|Mistralton City|Mistralton Cargo Service}}'''
: ''"OK, Skyla, we're ready. Please take us to Lentimas Town!"''
: ''"[[Bianca]], you're here? You're starting to show the dedication of a serious researcher these days!"''
: ''"OK, everyone, off we go to Lentimas Town!"''
 
'''Lentimas Town'''
: ''"Well, I suppose I should tell you why I brought you out here. [[Cheren]] told me that a group of people calling themselves [[Team Plasma]] are planning to use [[legendary Pokémon]] to take over the Unova region. As you may know, in the Unova region, there are two legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon: {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}… But two years ago, Reshiram and Zekrom each recognized a Trainer as a hero. They are following those Trainers. So Team Plasma shouldn't be able to use the Dragon-type Pokémon…"''
: ''"There is much we don't know about Reshiram and Zekrom… That's why I want to hear what Opelucid City's Gym Leader, [[Drayden]], has to say about this. He's a Dragon-type Gym Leader, so he might know something. So, we're finally to the reason why I brought you here. I want you to go to Opelucid City and hear what Drayden has to say. And, I would also like you to help me if something happens!"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"Thank you!"''
: ''"It's really best not to get involved with Team Plasma to start with. But still… Hearing what Drayden has to say about the Dragon-type Pokémon will be really interesting. And more importantly, it will help fill up the pages of your Pokédex!"''
 
'''[[Lacunosa Town]]'''
: ''"Hi there, <player>!"''
: ''"If you go straight past Lacunosa Town, you'll reach Opelucid City! But before you go, there's something I want you two to hear."''
: ''"You'll know soon enough. Hurry now!"''
: ''"That's right. Please tell us."''
: ''"The road is blocked, so we can't get there right now…"''
: ''"A meteorite…"''
: ''"A fascinating story! I'll add it to my research records."''
: ''"Everyone, we should be going."''
: ''"Wasn't that an interesting folktale?"''
: ''"The Pokémon's true identity may be unknown, but the power mentioned in the story is incredible!"''
: ''"Yes, Bianca. It's almost like Reshiram, who scorched Unova with blazing fire long ago. By the way, <player>, do you remember the story of Reshiram?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"So you remember I told you a little about it in Lentimas Town!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Oh, <player>… I even told you a little about it in Lentimas Town."''
: ''"Reshiram is a legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that lends its power to the person it recognizes as a hero who seeks truth. It has a white body, and it can send forth ferocious flames!"''
: ''"The meteorite."''
: ''"Reshiram was revived from a rock called the Light Stone. Let's suppose the meteorite from the story and this stone are one and the same… Take into account that elements from the same era were found in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where Reshiram was, and in the [[Giant Chasm]]… It doesn't prove anything, but it could be a piece of the puzzle. Let's not write it off as a coincidence just yet…"''
: ''"Until we look into it more deeply, it would be hard to say anything about that. Now that I think about it, the name "Lacunosa" could be derived from lacunosus clouds, which are clouds that resemble a net or a fence. I wonder if the name is related to the part of the story where they built walls to protect the town from that Pokémon."''
: ''"Sorry, I rambled on a bit, didn't I? <Player>, could you ask Drayden about this, if you get a chance? I'm going to do a little fieldwork. Bianca, help out, OK!"''

[[File:Juniper anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Professor Juniper in the anime]]
[[File:JuniperBW.png|thumb|right|Art from the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Professor Juniper made her first appearance in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and is an old friend of {{an|Professor Oak}}. She gives {{Ash}}, {{Delia}}, and Oak a ride in her SUV to her lab so she can study [[Ash's Pikachu]]. She then shows Ash the Unova [[starter Pokémon]], then gives [[Trip]] his first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{TP|Trip|Snivy|Servine}}.
 
Ash later returns to Professor Juniper's lab after finding out that Ash's Pikachu has lost his electricity from {{p|Zekrom}}. Later the storm arrives again but this time it gives Pikachu's electric powers back, and Ash departs from her lab the next day.
 
She reappeared in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where she sent {{AP|Oshawott}}'s Poké Ball to Ash. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'' it was shown that she sent {{an|Bianca}} to give Ash his Badge case. She then spoke to Ash via Bianca's [[Xtransceiver]].
Ash sent his {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}} to her in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'' to make room for his newly captured {{AP|Sewaddle|Swadloon}}. He switched them in ''[[BW021|The Lost World of Gothitelle!]]''.
 
In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' she thinks the problem of the {{p|Venipede}} swarm in [[Castelia City]] is something to do with the underground. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} meet up with Professor Juniper and leave to investigate the unusual activity caused by [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Desert Resort]]. She was also to appear in the [[BW023 (unaired)|final]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] of Team Rocket's [[Meteonite]] mission.
 
She reappeared in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'' along with [[Fennel]] who helped her revive an {{p|Archen}} from a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil]], who later evolved. After safely returning {{p|Archeops}} to the wild, she went back to her lab.
 
Professor Juniper appeared again in ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', where she traded her {{p|Karrablast}} for Bianca's {{p|Shelmet}}, making both of them evolve. In order to help Bianca to work with her new {{p|Escavalier}}, Professor Juniper suggested that they would have a [[Tag Battle]] against Ash and Cilan, who used {{AP|Boldore}} and {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}, respectively. Although Professor Juniper's {{p|Accelgor}} and Bianca's Escavalier managed to learn how to work together and eventually defeat Boldore, they were both defeated by Crustle's {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

Archen continuously let out a cry that was once used to grow seeds that produced thick vines covered in fruit that Archen and Archeops used as nests in the past. A few of these seeds were attached to Archen when she was revived, and were unknowingly planted in the lab. Cry after cry, the seeds grew and grew until the vines had made the lab completely inaccessible. The vines then began blossoming with fruit, and Archen quickly ran up and helped herself to her first meal since being revived. She then evolved into {{p|Archeops}} and in turn gained the ability to fly. However {{TRT}} attempted to capture Archeops and in the processed destroyed the habitat she had created. Luckily, a flock of Archeops had heard her call and arrived to take her with them. After saying a farewell to her new friends (especially Tranquill), Archeops flew off to live with her own kind.

[[File:Professor Juniper Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Professor Juniper in Pokémon Adventures]]
Professor Juniper first appears in the first round of the {{chap|Black & White}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]], where she was seen with the three starters and telling them that three children from [[Nuvema Town]] would be coming by to take them as their starters. She also commented that she hoped their Trainers would be able to handle them, after they destroyed her office in a fight with each other. Of the three, {{p|Tepig}} ended up in {{adv|Black}}'s hands, while {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} received {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, respectively. She also issued them three individual copies of the [[Unova]] [[Pokédex]], but an accident left two of them broken, and as of yet Black's is the only one still functional.
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
Professor Juniper debuted in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]'', where she prepared three [[first partner Pokémon]] to be given to three new Trainers. While on a call with [[Fennel]], the first partner Pokémon got into a fight into each other. The [[PS462|next day]], Juniper had three first partner Pokémon mailed alongside a set of three Pokédexes to the house of {{adv|Black}}, one of the new Trainers. Of the three, [[Bo|Tepig]] ended up in Black's hands, while {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} received {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}} and {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, respectively. Due to Black's impatient nature, he accidentally dropped Cheren and Bianca's Pokédexes in a puddle of rainwater, damaging and rendering them unusable. While the Pokédexes undergo repairs, Juniper sent Cheren and Bianca off to find Black and inform him to keep his Pokédex safe.
 
After Cheren and Bianca successfully met up with Black, they gave Professor Juniper his [[Xtransceiver]] number so that she may be in contact with him. In ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]'', she contacted Black to have him and {{adv|White}} travel to [[Liberty Garden]] in order to get data on the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Victini}}. After Black succeeded in this mission, Professor Juniper's father, [[Cedric Juniper]], arrived to assist in repairing the Pokédexes.
 
By ''[[PS501|A Lost Melody]]'', Professor Juniper and her father successfully repaired the Pokédexes. She had Cedric sent to [[Castelia City]] in order to deliver Bianca her fixed Pokédex. To Juniper's shock, Bianca revealed that she decided to become her assistant and instead handed the Pokédex over to White.
 
In ''[[PS510|A Wretched Reunion]]'', Juniper traveled to {{rt|6|Unova}} alongside Fennel. There, they witnessed Black, White, and Cedric in battle with {{adv|N}}, the king of [[Team Plasma]]. During the battle, Cedric revealed that a year ago, N barged into his lab and liberated a second set of first partner Pokémon meant to be given out to another set of Trainers. N chastised Professor Juniper for her treatment of the first partner Pokémon given to Black and his friends and claimed that she only thinks of them as objects meant to be researched. When Black tried to stop N, his [[Musha]] chose to run away instead of eating his dreams as usual. The shock of losing one of his most trusted Pokémon caused Black to faint from shock.
 
In ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', Professor Juniper, Fennel, Amanita, and White looked after Black at the {{un|Pokémon League}} gates while they watch the tournament.
 
====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', Professor Juniper hides in Fennel's home alongside Fennel, Amanita, {{adv|Bianca}}, and Cedric Juniper to escape the [[Plasma Frigate]] freezing Unova's cities. There, Fennel reveals that after researching the Dream Mist for two years, she managed to discover another dimension known as the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. She hypothesizes that this may have been where Black went to after being sealed into the [[Light Stone]]. To confirm this, Fennel has White sent to the [[Entralink]], where the real world and Dream World are most connected. The operation proves to be a success as White manages to find and obtain the Light Stone.

[[File:Professor Juniper BWGP.png|thumb|150px|Professor Juniper in Pocket Monsters BW Good Partners]]
Professor Juniper appeared in [[BWGP02]]. [[Takurō]] and [[Mashiro]] had arrived in [[Accumula Town]] and saw her. She evaluated [[Takurō]]'s [[Pokédex]] and commented on how it was filling up quite a bit. She then told him to keep it up. Professor Juniper then told the two about a {{p|Purrloin}} that was causing trouble. Later, when Takurō had his {{p|Pidove}} flap up a gust of wind, Professor Juniper went with Mashiro to a cliff where Takurō was but discovered that Takurō had already rescued himself and Purrloin.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* While Juniper is the first female professor in the games, she is not the first female professor in the anime. [[Professor Ivy]] of the [[Orange Archipelago]] takes this honor, having been introduced more than ten years prior to Juniper.
* According to an NPC, Professor Juniper and [[Cedric Juniper|her father]] were formerly {{tc|Backpacker}}s.
* Excluding Pokémon seen through hacking, Professor Juniper is the only regional Professor in the main series to own a Pokémon which is never given to either a protagonist or rival.
* Aurea's first name is only revealed in the English version. In Japanese, both she and Cedric are known simply as "Dr. Araragi", although Cedric gets his own first name in all languages except Japanese and Chinese.
** However, [[Professor Oak]] had a whole team of Pokémon in secret coding for the [[Generation I]] games which was never used in the final copy.
* Professor Juniper was the first female [[Pokémon Professor]].
* She is the only regional Professor shown to actually own the Pokémon presented in the game's introduction.
* In the original Japanese version of the anime, Professor Juniper often says the phrase "'''あらら''' ''Arara''" (meaning "oh my"), which is a reference to her name.
* Like the professors before her, Professor Juniper is named after a tree.
* According to an NPC, Professor Juniper and her father were formerly {{tc|Backpacker}}s.
*Professor Juniper is the only professor who appears in the anime to have taken care of Ash's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} other than {{an|Professor Oak}}.
