Macy

Macy (Japanese: モエ Moe) is a Pokémon Trainer from Mahogany Town who entered the Silver Conference.

History
Macy first appeared in Love, Pokémon Style. She is a enthusiast. She developed a crush on when he saved her from injury after her  was stolen by, and it only grew when he returned it. She later faced off against in the preliminary rounds of the Silver Conference, where she proved to be skilled at deflecting her type preference's weakness to Water types. However, she lost to Ash when defeated her  and. After the battle, Macy's had evolved into, which Macy thought was a sign of the friendship between her and Ash.

Macy also appeared at the beginning of Tie One On!, where she faced Jackson in the second match of the preliminary round. She won the match with the help of her, but due to Ash's draw with Jackson, she was eliminated from competing further. She later made cameo appearances in in The Ties That Bind and Can't Beat the Heat!, where she watched 's against an unknown Trainer, and Ash's battle with  from the grandstand, during which she cheered Ash on.

Character
Macy is a passionate trainer. Her criticism of Pokémon is only mentioned in an argument with Misty. She tends to take control of the situation, issuing the first attack. However, she is also shown to lack spontaneity, hesitating as Ash jumped down a cliff to rescue Pikachu and Macy's Vulpix from Team Rocket. Her confidence and loud personality can be abrasive. Her infatuation with Ash is the focus of most of her dialogue and appearances outside of the Silver League battles.

She is shown to be supportive of whomever she considers a friend. When her Slugma was hit with a Water Gun attack from Ash's Totodile, she maintained a determined composure. Macy was also shown to readily use Pokémon substitution in her match against Ash, in order to give her the upper hand in battle. She is fully aware of her team's weakness to Water-types, and uses both speed and her to combat these factors. Evasion techniques such as Slugma's and 's  were also used. Her Pokemon's Fire attacks are shown to be incredibly powerful, knocking out Water Pokémon like Jackson's.

Her primary concern is her Pokémon's health and well-being, rather than a battle loss. She appeared unfazed by any of her recent losses, including those against Ash as well as her overall loss in Division H during the Silver Conference preliminary rounds.
