Biography[]
Gardenia first appeared when she covered herself with a cloak, spying on Hareta and Mitsumi. She then attacked Mitsumi with her Turtwig's Grass Knot. Hareta then later appeared in front of her when he was jumping to tree to tree. Hareta thought she was a Team Galactic Grunt and sent out his Piplup. Piplup however was not sent out correctly and both Piplup and Hareta fell off the tree. Gardenia was surprised by that action but she was more surprised when Hareta's Misdreavus scaried her and she fell from the tree too, on top of Hareta. She apologized to Hareta for falling on him and Mitsumi for attacking her. She said that Team Galactic was causing trouble in the forest hence she was spying on them. She told them that she was the Eterna City Gym Leader and Hareta challenged her for a battle for the badge. Gardenja however declined, saying that he is just a rookie and can't even throw a Poké Ball properly, and walked away. Piplup got mad and pecked her in her back, causing Gardenia to agree to battle Hareta after all.
