 * Bellsprout: Her first wild pokemon caught, this particular Bellsprout frequented her family's lavish garden in Celadon for several weeks before Yukari was able to catch it.


 * Scyther: Caught at the Safari Zone when she was 15 on a trip to Fuchsia City.


 * Ponyta: Yukari caught this male Ponyta while bringing a fossil from Mt. Moon's scientists down to the Pokemon Lab on Cinnabar Island this Spring.


 * Haunter: When Yukari traveled to Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower in late June 2009, she ran into a powerful Gengar. He must have used Hypnosis, because she remembers nothing from their encounter until she woke up in a dusty corner four days later, a Haunter hovering over her.

= Brief History = Yukari was born and raised in Celadon City. Her mother is an expert gardener and plant breeder, who provides many of the seedlings for the Celadon Gym. Yukari grew up surrounded by plants and grass-type Pokemon; it was little surprise to anyone that she joined the Celadon Gym at 16. Training at the gym by day and helping her mother in the evenings, Yukari had her hands pretty full. She could see something bigger in her future, however, and so when she turned 21 she left the Gym and Celadon on a quest for PokeGreatness. First step: The Indigo League.
