Gigi (Japanese:ぶぶBubu; usually referred to asぶぶちゃんBubu-chan) is a Pokémon actress employed byWhite in thePokémon Adventures manga and was taken care of by White prior to joiningN.

History

Black & White arc

With White

One year prior to the start of the chapter, it was revealed that Gigi was theTepig that was supposed to be given to newTrainers byCedric Juniper, but ended up being liberated byN and ran away. Tepig was later found alone byWhite in the pouring rain, where White caught her.

Gigi first appeared inLights, Camera...Action as one of the Tepig White was supposed to bring to aXtransceiver commercial shooting. Due to a mix-up, White accidentally only brought one Tepig instead of the two she was supposed to bring. AfterBlack disrupts the shooting with his yelling, his male Tepig,Tep, notices Gigi in herPoké Ball and releases her. The two quickly befriend each other and start playing. White, realizing that since his male Tepig is the Pokémon that she is looking for, hires Black after he accidentally puts the company in debt after rescuing them from an attackingGalvantula. Due to her being an actress, Gigi is never seen in battle and is usually seen being protected by Tep, similar to how White is protected by Black.

InGigi's Choice, Gigi and White are confronted by N, who knocks and traps White into theNimbasa Ferris wheel in order to talk to her. After confronting her about the problems with the musical, he has hisServine grab Gigi. Gigi manages to free herself by fighting back and N comes to the conclusion that White had been neglecting her true strengths in battle, a fact that Gigi agrees to. When White decides that it is time to escape, she attempts to jump off the Ferris wheel and asks Gigi to do the same. Surprisingly, Gigi goes to N's side, shocking White who falls out of the car and onto the ground below. Gigi and N watch from the car as White lies on the ground, crying because of Gigi's betrayal.

With N

InMuseum Showdown, Gigi, along with N, arrive atDragonspiral Tower. Gigi watches N as he muses over the location where Truth and Ideals meet.

InWill the Truth Come Out?, Gigi fought againstAlder'sAccelgor with the help ofZorua. Accelgor targeted Gigi to prevent itself from being hit byFire-type moves but actually hitZoruadisguised as Gigi. Gigi then attacked Accelgor with Ember, defeating it.

InA Wretched Reunion, Gigi battled alongside Zorua against Black'sEmboar, Bo, White'sSerperior, Amanda, and Cedric Juniper'sSamurott. Together, the three Pokémon managed to defeat both Gigi and Zorua.

Sometime beforeTeam Plasma attacked thePokémon League, Nreleased his entire team, including Gigi. N told Gigi that she was free to pursue whatever dream she desired. Gigi chose to stay in N's room, where she encountered White after she had beenteleported there byHood Man. Gigi reveals that she has chosen to return to acting in show business, which she shows by playing with N's toys. Although White considers Gigi N's Pokémon now, she offers to let her return to theBW Agency.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

InN Returns, when White is approached by N, she sends out her team to defend herself, but Gigi and Amanda don't attack, as they immediately realized that N wasn't there to fight.

InThe Final Battle, Gigi went withWhitley to rescue N. They quickly located him behind a wall inside thePlasma Frigate but Gigi was unable to melt it down with her own firepower. After Whitley'sAccelgor opened a hole, Gigi woke N up. Later, Gigi, alongside the other eightUnova first partner Pokémon, fired theirPledge moves atN's Castle to stop the fire caused by the Plasma Frigate.

Personality and characteristics

Gigi is an actress, and as such, does not battle. Instead, she, like White, relies on the help of others like Black and his Pokémon to help her when she is in trouble. However, unbeknownst to White, Gigi is actually a strong Pokémon that wants to battle but never gets the chance to because of her actress duties.

Gigi got along with Black'sTepig,Tep, fairly easily, as the two of them were almost never seen apart during their time together.
