Laraine

Larain is as vibrant and dynamic as the ocean itself. Likewise, her gym doubles as a lifeboat center and ocean research facility, her life's work. At her heart lies a deep sense of responsibility and compassion for both people and Pokémon. As the leader of Tonbach City Gym, she seeks to instill in her opponents an appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the marine world, inspiring them to join her in her quest to protect it.

Laraine's love for Pokémon runs deep, stemming from her childhood spent exploring the coastal wilderness around Tonbach City. From a young age, she was drawn to the mysterious depths that lay just beyond the shoreline, the promise of adventure and discovery beckoning to her. So now, for Laraine, diving is not just a hobby, each encounter leaves her in awe of the diversity and beauty of marine life, reinforcing her commitment to protecting the fragile ecosystems that sustain them.

Drawing inspiration from the ebb and flow of the ocean currents, Laraine's battling style is as unpredictable as it is effective, catching opponents off guard with her Pokemon's swift and agile maneuvers. Central to Laraine's battle strategy is her signature move, Whirlpool, a technique that embodies the relentless power and chaotic energy of the ocean.
