Bugs

Bugs is the second gym leader a trainer can encounter if hey follow the correct route. She is situated in ChymeThyme City and specializes in Bug types, surprisingly. Those who defeat Bugs are awarded with the Flutter Badge.

She is still sort of getting used to her position, arriving just a year before. She enjoys the outdoors and staying active, playing soccer and softball and organizing sports leagues for the children of ChymeThyme (examples of team names include: the Mighty Moundeds, the Cheeri-occomets, the Endev-ils). She is often the referee.

Family:

The second youngest of the cousin gym leaders. Older brothers are Gamer and Pilot.

Personality:

Bugs is very caring, compassionate, and patient. She cares for everyone and everything no matter what, even the misunderstood bug mons that many would find gross. She can be rather timid and prefer the company of her bugs or a good book in her treehouse or by the river. But, when she's in the mood she can be fun, loud, and perhaps a little too competitive.

Some people say Bugs is too involved in too many things, but she would just retort by saying those folks are lazy.

Appearance:

Her usual get-up is her referee uniform: a green and white striped jersey with green shorts, high socks and cleats. She has a whistle hanging from her finger at all times. She uses it to communicate attacks to her bugs.

Mons:

Gym Battles: Bugs' gym triples as arena and rehab center for emotionally scarred bugs. She releases them when they regain their self-confidence but it is presumed by Punchy and Gamer that they would race to her aid in a crisis. These are the bugs that we have seen her rehabilitating: Things to Note:
 * Ghossamer
 * Ribbonnita
 * Flyjesty (main, air travel)
 * Milliweed (x3)
 * Aranxious
 * Giftery
 * Chachitra (x2)
 * Smidge (which she grew to love and now sticks around as the sort of arena mascot)
 * Even though her Gym is located in a prime fishing spot, she detests the practied, forbidding her kids from going near a rod or hook.
 * Bugs is the successful author of a series of children's spy books called "On Her Flyjesty's Secret Service."
 * Bugs is in the process of organizing an interregional sports festival to promote cooperation and acceptance. There has been a lot of red tape, but she is hopeful that it will happen within the next two years.
