Charmaine (EP179)

Charmaine (Japanese: アンジュ Anju) is a character of the day who appeared in The Apple Corp.

Charmaine runs her own apple orchard on the outskirts of Ecruteak City. At the time, someone had been eating her apples. She thought that Ash's Pikachu was the culprit after she netted him while he was holding an apple. Pikachu insisted that he did not do anything. He was soon proven to be innocent after compared the bite marks in the apples to Pikachu's teeth, which were found to be too small to be his.

Charmaine apologized to them and gave them a tour of her apple orchard. She had a series of noisemakers tied from tree to tree so that she would hear it if anyone tried to steal her apples. However, to that point it hadn't helped much, as apples were still stolen. They all soon discovered that a group of were stealing the apples. Charmaine had read in a local newspaper that the wild fruits in the forests were low that year, and soon understood that the Pichu didn't have much to eat. So she happily offered them some more apples.

Ash then had the idea of training the Pichu to work for Charmaine in helping to keep Pokémon from eating the apples. Pikachu also taught the Pichu to gather apples so it would be less work for Charmaine. In the end, Charmaine decided to go with Ash's plan and allowed the Pichu to stay in her orchard as assistants, in exchange for apples.
