[Image Description: A young girl Pokemon Trainer in a dance-like pose with a squirrel-like Pokemon jumping up beside him. The girl has somewhat light skin, blond hair in a ponytail, and brown eyes. She is wearing an aqua green shirt under a pink crop-top jacket, a blue skirt over light aqua green leggings, pink socks, and pink slip-on shoes. She has an orange bag with a yellow strap over her right (viewer's left) shoulder, and a pink wristband on her arm. She’s holding a red and white Pokeball in her hand. The squirrel-like Pokemon leaping beside her has tan fur with white whiskers and belly and green on its paws and tail, with a red fist-like growth on the end of its tail and dark teal eyes. The background is a pixellated gradient of green, orange, and blue, the image as a whole framed in a red overlay. End ID.]

"Oh! (Player)! How goes things, hmm? Making sure your team is at their full fighting potential? I know I certainly have. I've been working to try and create a team that covers all its weak points, so I wanna see how well I'm doing in that. Let's have a battle and see!"
And here's the other Cantessy rival, Cherry! Unlike Toby, who's more laidback and easygoing, Cherry is ambitious and hard-headed, traits instilled to her by her somewhat influential family. Thankfully, instead of her ambition being at the expense of others, she often recognizes others' potential and pushes them to be the best they can be as well as pushing herself to be her best as well.
Being one of the rivals, Cherry's team obviously grows over time. After her starter, she brings along the Twitchail that her older brother helped her catch a few years ago. By the third battle you have with her, she'll add a Zubat. The fourth battle against her will see her start to try balancing her team a bit more to counter yours, adding something that would counter something you'd presumably have to cover your Starter's weakness (Applin if you chose Haymuth, the corn-themed Fakemon Pipkern if you chose Calflame, or Lapras if you chose Chikret), and her Zubat will have evolved into a Golbat. The fifth has her add the Fakemon Snogelle (an unrevealed ice-type that resembles a snow angel) to the team, her Golbat will evolve into a Crobat, and if she had a Pipkern or Applin it will evolve into the popcorn-themed Fakemon Pepkornel or Flapple. Her final team will consist of her starter, Twitchail, Crobat, the Fakemon Glimmafrost (the evolved form of Snogelle that gains an electric type), and either Pepkornel and Lapras (if she chose Haymuth), Lapras and Flapple (if she chose Calflame), or Flapple and Pepkornel (if she chose Chikret).
