Gillian's Links
"Nova" is Gilly's rival at pokemon contests though she might be the only one who sees things that way. The popular coordinator always seems to beat her, but Gilly is determined to one up the celebrity eventually. On one memorable occasion she tied with her rival and they received a matching pair of Plusle and Minun.
Oliver is a funny character that Gilly has run into quite a few times at accessory shops. She's tried to encourage him to enter contests since he seems so interested in them, but she's yet to convince him.
"Nova' acknowledges Gilly as one of her strongest rivals. They often run into each other at contests, and Nova realizes her strong potential. Their most memorable meeting was when the pair tied at a contest and recieved a matching Plusle and Minun together.
Ollie often meets Gilly in towns where contests take place, running into her in accessory shops and pokemon boutiques. He likes getting to know her outside of the contests, but has to be extra careful not to let his identity slip around her.
Gilly has been friends with Val since childhood. She hadn't planned on going on a pokemon journey, but her friend knew she was interested in pokemon contests and encouraged her to join her when she started on her own journey. Gilly loves that Val always knows what to say to encourage her.
Valentine has been friends with Gilly since they were children. When she moved to a new town she was quite lonely but quickly latched onto the older girl when she saw her cute Lapras. When she left to become stronger and challenge gyms, she dragged Gilly along to participate in pokemon contests. She loves how her friend follows along with her silly ideas and comes out of her comfort zone for her sake.
