History

Wakaba encounteredLiko andRoy outsideMotostoke Stadium and took them inside to see Kabu. She later watched as they took on the Gym Test, which Roy eventually won. Being a noviceTrainer herself, Wakaba was awestruck by Liko's methods of extinguishingLitwick's flames withSprigatito'sLeafage. Wakaba subsequently joined Kabu in aTag Battle against Roy and Liko.

Once Kabu'sCentiskorch had defeatedRoy's Fuecoco, Kabu left the rest of the battle to Wakaba telling her this would count as her Gym Leader test. However, she was not confident with her battle style, due to being inexperienced, which caused herRolycoly to receivedamage. Determined to win, she resolved to do her best. Hearing this from Wakaba, Liko felt bad for her and forfeited. Unfortunately, this did not make Wakaba happy as she did not want to become a Gym Trainer without truly earning it, leading Wakaba to run off. After being spoken to by Kabu, Liko went to find her, and they both apologized to each other for how they had acted. Feeling better now, Wakaba gave Liko encouragement to do her best in the future.

She reappeared in a flashback inThe Lonely Hatenna.
