(You guys took what I originally said out of context. What is Melody most remembered for? Not her character, not her abilities, but that she kissed Ash and became an enemy in the eyes of Pokeshippers.)

Melody is the one who selected [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] as the [[Chosen One]] in [[The Power of One|the second Pokémon movie]]. She has an ocarina which, when played, sounds similar to the call of {{p|Lugia}}. She seemed rather jealous of Misty because she traveled with Ash and kept teasing her.
Melody is a resident of [[Shamouti Island]] in the [[Orange Islands]] archipelago. Melody at first glance does not really seem to be a sociable person. She meets [[Ash]], [[Misty]], [[Tracey]] and [[Maren]] at the docks of the island, dressed in casual clothes. It was her turn to lead the annual legend festival as the Festival Maiden, since her older sister [[Carol]] was too old. Melody was not to thrilled to do it, but upon observing Ash and learning he's a Pokemon Trainer, she instantly changes her mind and accepts her role, welcoming Ash with a "traditional welcome kiss", touching a nerve of Misty's. Melody later, dressed in ceremonial clothes, informs Ash of his goal to retrieve three glass balls from the surrounding islands and bring them to the island's shrine. Ash ironically heads out to do this mission, despite Melody's attempts to make him stay.
 
Melody, Misty and Tracey head out of Melody's boat to find Ash when a storm hits the island, Melody's boat capable of "flying" with some special utilities on the boat. They locate Ash on Fire Island with Team Rocket, and all are present to witness the arrival of {{p|Zapdos}}, his conversation with Pikachu, and then their abduction by [[Lawrence III]]'s airship. Melody begins to suspect the legend of the island might be true, and this is confirmed later on when {{p|Lugia}} appears to stop the fighting Legendary Birds. Ash sets out using the remains of Melody's boat (which was previously destroyed) to gain the final treasure ball from Ice Island, but later when Lugia and Ash disappear into the sea, Melody allows Misty to go out and find Ash, the two forming a friendship, as Melody had previously joked about Misty and Ash being a couple. Melody and the island shrine's guardian, {{p|Slowking}} await Ash's return. When he does and inserts the final treasure into the shrine, Melody steps up and plays the tune resembling Lugia's song on a special instrument. This stops the storms, calms the sea and rejuvinates the fallen legendary birds, including Lugia.
 
Many fans remember Melody as the first girl to kiss Ash, although this was later followed by [[Latias (anime)|Latias]] or [[Bianca]] kissing him in the fifth movie, [[Pokémon Heroes]].


She is most remembered by many fans as "the girl that kissed Ash". She was the first girl to kiss Ash in a movie and was followed by [[Latias (anime)|Latias]]/[[Bianca]].
