Yuko

History

Yuko debuts in the Black 2 & White 2 arc as a student in the Aspertia City Trainers' School. Yuko is first seen with Yuki and Maya greeting Blake as he heads to class. When Blake, Leo, and Hugh are punished by the new teacher, Cheren, for disrupting the class, Yuko defends Blake by blaming Hugh for everything. Later, Cheren has the class split into two gendered groups and has them battle each other. Yuko is eventually defeated, but congratulates the new student, Whitley, for winning the girls side and obtaining a Pokédex.

After an attempt to try and get Whitley closer to him fails, Blake returns to the school while everyone is participating in a Berry planting class. Seeing Blake carry Whitley like a princess shocks Yuko and the rest of the class.

Yuko later travels with the class to Pokéstar Studios on a class trip. She, Yuki, Maya, and Whitley browse the area and wonder what kind of movie they should participate in. Although reluctant, Whitley is assisted by Sabrina, who uses a Spoon of Destiny to pick a movie for her. After leaving, Yuko and the others realize that Sabrina is actually a famous actress. Once the trip ended, Yuko and the other girls excitedly wonder what to do for the upcoming culture festival at their school. The girls' chattering annoys Hugh, who questions why they bother attending school if they don't focus on getting stronger. Yuko berates Hugh's abrasive personality, and states that she feels sorry for his younger sister for having such a bad brother. Hearing this infuriates Hugh into attacking the girls with his Vibrava before being stopped by Leo. Yuko and the others angrily leave as they hope that Hugh gets expelled.
