And here's the completed picture of Aoko and 3 of her Pokemon! Yay! Here's her character information for my "A Journey in Hoenn" fan fic:

Aoko is the only daughter and child of Ginzo Nakamori and his wife Kirin. Ginzo is the Gym Leader in Mauville City and Kirin is a Pokémon Breeder that owns and runs the local Pokémon Day Care. Because running a gym in a major city keeps her father very busy, Aoko grew up disliking Pokémon Trainers. Because of this, when she turned 10 (her birthday is March 1st) she didn’t set out on a journey even though she applied for a Trainer’s license and got her starter Pokémon. She immediately returned home instead and split her time equally between helping her mother out at the Day Care and acting as an assistant at her father’s gym. It wasn’t until she met Ran that she decided it was time to set out and see the world, but not as a Trainer. She instead gives competing in Pokémon Contests a try and keeps at it even though she isn’t particularly good.

Aoko’s first Pokémon was her Pikachu. Growing up, her family always had a bunch of the electric mouse-type Pokémon around the house. Her mother has a Plusle and Minun, and her father has a Raichu he sometimes lends to his wife for breeding. Aoko’s Pikachu is a result of one of those breeding. At age 7, little Aoko was allowed to help her mother hatch and raise baby Pokémon at the Day Care. The Pichu that would eventually become her Pikachu had been born small and the lady who’d commissioned Kirin to breed her Raichu with Ginzo’s didn’t want it because she didn’t think it’d live long. Aoko was determined to prove the lady wrong and save the little guy, so she raised it herself (with her mother’s help and guidance of course). When Pichu became strong enough, it followed Aoko around everywhere and eventually evolved into Pikachu around the time she turned 9. Pikachu is Aoko’s best friend and was initially jealous when Aoko got her Mudkip as a starter Pokémon.

Aoko’s Mudkip is a very docile and gentle Pokémon with an easygoing nature. It liked Aoko from the moment it met her and they got along well together. But it was because they got along so well so fast that Mudkip and Pikachu didn’t get along so well at first. Mudkip just couldn’t understand why Pikachu was so cold towards him. Aoko worried about how poorly her Pokémon got on, but after they had to fight together in a battle with wild Pokémon, they realized that Aoko was happier when they got along. Mudkip forgave Pikachu of its jealousy and the two became friends.
Aoko’s Wingull is the first Pokémon she catches on her journey. It was harassing a bunch of Merrill and Azurill and Aoko battled it with Pikachu. In spite of being both a flying and water type Pokémon, Wingull proved to be a tough opponent even though the advantage should have been with Pikachu, an electric type. Wingull has a very mischievous nature and is a bit of a show off, excelling in quick darting movements, and executing speedy dives and tricky aerial maneuvers. He’s a bit of a peacock.

How she meets the G4 and Ran:

Aoko met Ran when the slightly older girl came to battle her father for a Dynamo Badge. Aoko was impressed with not only Ran’s skill as a Trainer, but the way she interacts with her Pokémon. Growing up a Gym Leader’s and a Pokémon Breeder’s Daughter, Aoko had seen all sorts of Pokémon Trainers and how they interacted with their Pokémon, but had never seen a Trainer so connected and in tune with their Pokémon. After talking to Ran and showing her around the Mauville City, Aoko asked if she could accompany Ran on her journey. Ran welcomed having a traveling companion like Aoko along and the two of them set off together after saying goodbye to Aoko’s parents. Like Kaito and Shinichi, Aoko and Ran are often mistaken for being sisters.

Aoko had been traveling with Ran for a while and was with her when Ran visited her mother in Rustboro and was there for the Devon goods arc. She thinks that Shinichi’s a nice guy and their Mudkips get along great. Even after she finds out he’s actually a Trainer, she doesn’t hold it against him. She adores his Ralts. As for Kaito, she’d not sure what to make of him at first. After a little friendly competition, Kaito sort of absently makes fun of her technique when he sees her in action for the first time (though he is very impressed with her Wingull). Because of this initial misunderstanding, they don’t get along too well at first and a childish part of her is really happy to see Kaito lose to Saguru in competition later when they meet up again. As for Heiji, Aoko thought that he was a bit loud and obnoxious, but after seeing him care for his Pokémon and giving them a pep talk after losing his first battle with Ran’s mom, she thinks he’s alright for a Trainer. As for Saguru, she really likes him and develops a little crush because he’s cute, different, obviously cares for all Pokémon, and is nice to her and gives her tips for how to train and handle her Pokémon in a Contest. Later, when she and Kaito become better acquainted, she finds herself torn between deciding which of the two boys she likes and crushes on the most.
