About

A gym leader specializing in the Grass type. Althena is extremely fond of tea and works in a greenhouse that grows tea leaves. Her signature Pokemon is Torterra, and her overall fashion sense is based around it. She also frequently keeps an Exeggcute outside of their Poké Ball and in a basket.

Althena's gym also takes place within a greenhouse. A long winding path of garden fencing guides challengers directly to Althena, allowing them to marvel at the flora growing there and bypass the gym trainers. There is also a more straightforward path through the middle of the gym that is flanked by several trainers for those who seek more experience before taking on the gym leader. Her gym technially has no set order, with her team varying based on how many badges the challenger currently owns. Her default team, however is suited to a challenger with roughly six badges already in their possession. Challengers who have entered the Hall of Fame can rematch her to recieve a mint as a daily reward.

Background

Ever since she was young, Althena always favored the Grass type since it seemed to be the underdog of the starter Pokémon types. She was willing to look past their many weaknesses and enjoy these floral beauties for who they were. She had a Turtwig as a childhood companion that has now fully evolved. She became a skilled trained whose careful strategies challenge those who try to exploit the weaknesses of Grass types.

Trivia

• Althena quite enjoys coffee as well as tea, and thinks people who argue over the two are annoying and wasting their time on nothing.
• Much like how Grass types are weak to fire, Althena has poor tolerance for spicy food and avoids hot sauce or spicy peppers.
• Her favorite kind of tea is green tea with mint.
• Althena's favorite flower is the morning glory.
• She befriended a Polteageist that was amidst a group of Ghost-type Pokemon that sneak into the greenhouses at night.

Inventory

It's common for people to hype up the other starter types, leaving Grass types underloved. But I'm going to appreciate and understand my companions with chlorophyll as best as I can.
