White (Japanese:ホワイトWhite) is amain character in the manga seriesPokémon Adventures.

Character

White is the president and manager of theBW Agency, a company that has a large supply of Pokémon actors that can be used for commercials, plays, movies, and stunts. Whenever her company's reputation is put on the line, she will do anything to prevent its name from being ruined.

White is reluctant to battle, as shown when she started to panic when Black said that she may need to fight in his battle with N and when Gigi was attacked by N's Purrloin, instead of attacking back, she scolded it for attacking an actress. Unlike Black, she did not possess a Pokédex at the beginning of the arc, and, until Black showed it to her, she did not know what it was. She was much later entrusted a Pokédex to by Bianca.

When it comes to show business, White is an expert. She is extremely talented in organizing and planning along with recruiting people to join the BW Agency. For her skills, she is given the title of"Dreamer" (夢みる者Dreamer), which she shares withBlack.

It is later revealed that as a child, White viewed a musical—which were human-only at that point—and saw aCubchoo walk up on the stage. After seeing how the people enjoyed seeing the Cubchoo take part in the musical, she wanted to make something that Pokémon who loved to perform could do.

History

Black & White arc

White debuted inLights, Camera...Action!, where she watched the filming process of aXtransceiver commercial atAccumula Town. In order to prepare for the next day's filming, White pulled outGigi, a femaleTepig, only to learn she needed to bring a male Tepig as well. The filming was interrupted byBlack, a young boy shouting his desire to conquer thePokémon League. When White noticed Black hadTep, a male Tepig, she attempted to ask that he lend Tep for the filming tomorrow, only to discover the film crew had been knocked unconscious. The film Director blamed the incident on Black, but the boy proved his innocence by using his detective skills to unveil the true culprit, a wildGalvantula, and defeating it. When Black accidentally destroyed the recording equipment in the process, White offered to pay Black's debt on the condition that he work for the BW Agency.

InAn Odd Speech, White and Black camped for the night, but were forced to change locations when a pair ofTeam Plasma Grunts revealed they had a permit to build a stage there. The next day, White and Black witnessedGhetsis, one ofTeam Plasma'sSeven Sages, give a speech that convinced several people to release their Pokémon. Angered, Black went to try and stop Team Plasma from making more speeches, but lost them and was challenged to a battle byN, a young man able to understand what Pokémon are saying. N claimed that Pokémon and humans should be kept separate, but learned from the voices of Black's Pokémon that some Pokémon actually want to be with humans. Though Black lost the battle, N left while mulling over what he had just learned. Later, inWelcome to Striaton City!!, Black introduced White to his childhood friends,Cheren andBianca.

InWheeling and Dealing, White and Black arrivedNacrene City, where they tried advertising the BW Agency to an accordion player. After meeting up with the Director again, the accordion player's instrument went missing, and Black was blamed for the incident again. UsingMusha, Black uncovered the true thieves, a wildScraggy andScrafty, and defeated them. Afterward, Black went off to have his next Gym battle while White was approached by the Director, who gave her an offer to help plan an advertising campaign inNimbasa City. Later, White and the Director discussed with the Mayor of Nimbasa City on how to make the city more lively. White nervously suggested creating aPokémon Musical, an idea the Mayor loved. After returning to Black, who had won his Gym battle, White excitedly told Black the good news. The next day, White went around Nacrene's various shops and warehouses to look for inspiration for the Musical.

InBig City Battles, White and Black spent time inCastelia City. When Black noticed Tep was about to evolve, White forcibly stopped it, worried that Tep's new form would be bad for business. Later, White decided to watch Black's Gym battle, where she witnessed Black allowing Tep to fight, causing it to evolve into aPignite and win the battle. Afterward, Black helpedIris retrieve a Pokémon that Team Plasma had stolen from Bianca. Later, White chastised Black for letting Tep evolve before revealing she had already thought of some new character dynamics for Gigi and Tep to act in. As they left, Black decided to change Tep's name to Nite to better match his new form.

InSandstorm, White and Black arrived atRoute 4. White went off to buy equipment to get past the sandstorm, leaving Black alone to study for his next Gym battle. After she returned, White found Black passed out next to an unconscious Plasma Grunt and hadBrav carry both of them to Nimbasa City with her. After Black woke up, White explained the situation and took him to the Pokémon Musical Theater. White spent the next few days organizing and rehearsing for the upcoming opening day.

InSpecial Delivery, the Pokémon Musical officially began, but an issue with theDriftveil Drawbridge prevented theProp Cases meant to be given out to the audience from making it to the Theater in time. With no other options, White called in theMistralton Cargo Service to pick up the Prop Cases and deliver them to the Theater in time, successfully allowing the Musical to go off without any problems. Though overjoyed at the Musical's success, White was left exhausted due to all the preparation work she did and went back to her hotel to rest. A mysterious figure appeared offering to help White rest for a bit, only to lock her inside the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. The figure then climbed inside, revealing itself to be N.

InGigi's Choice, N noted that while some Pokémon enjoy performing, it is their nature to grow by battling. To prove his point, N had hisServine attack Gigi, forcing her to fight back and defend herself. Gigi actually expressed joy at being able to fight, which confused and frightened White. Unable to handle the situation, White decided to jump out of the Ferris Wheel car and told Gigi to come with her. To White's shock, Gigi instead chose to stay with N, which caused White to slip out of the car and fall out onto the ground below. As he and Gigi watched from the Ferris Wheel, N sent Servine to White's aid and revealed he planned on defeating the Pokémon League Champion.

InUnraveling Mysteries, an unconscious White was found byMarshal, one of theElite Four, who put her in Black's care. White was taken to a hospital to recover. After she woke up, White told Black everything that happened with N and Gigi. Soon after, White and Black metBaker Chris, who told them about theBattle Subway, another Nimbasa tourist attraction that was still in development. At the Battle Subway, they met with Marshal, who was testing the area withAlder, the Pokémon League Champion. Wanting to understand why Gigi left her, White decided to ride the Battle Subway and learn how to battle in the process.

InGrowing Pains, White attempted to catch a wildDeerling so she could have a Pokémon to use on the Battle Subway. She also revealed that in order to focus on her upcoming ride, she temporarily closed down the BW Agency and returned her actors to their original Trainers. Due to her inexperience as a Trainer, White struggled against Deerling, forcing Black to step in and help. To White's surprise, the Servine N gave her obeyed her commands and together, they managed to catch Deerling. Later, White and Black went their separate ways as White boarded the Battle Subway train. As she needed three Pokémon to participate in the Battle Subway, Black lent Brav to White so she could have a third party member to use.

InA Stormy Time in the Battle Subway, White encounteredShauntal of the Elite Four, who had snuck aboard one of the subway cars to find inspiration for her next novel. When a sudden thunderstorm forced to train to stop, White and Shauntal ended up getting caught in a battle betweenTornadus andThundurus. While White's attempt to stop theLegendary Pokémon ended in failure, Shauntal stepped in and used herJellicent to provoke them, escalating the battle further. This summonedLandorus, who quickly grabbed Tornadus and Thundurus and took them into the sky with it. Afterward, White went back on the Battle Subway to resume her training.

Sometime later, White's skill as a Trainer had improved. She also caught aStunfisk named Dorothy, anAlomomola named Nancy, and aSolosis named Solly. InWith a Little Help from My Friends, White met up with Bianca atAnville Town. Due to herfather constantly pestering her over her journey, Bianca was feeling depressed as she felt she hadn't gotten stronger and didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. To cheer Bianca up, White took Bianca to Café Sonata in Castelia City in hopes of helping her get a start in the music business, only to find that the building was ransacked by a wildVullaby that had been pursuing aMeloetta. Together with Bianca and Meloetta, White defeated the Vullaby and caught it. She chose to name it Barbara and planned to have it play villainous roles in movies. Afterward, Bianca decided to becomeProfessor Juniper's assistant and gave up her recently repairedPokédex to White.

ByThe Lesson Ends Here, White had finished her training on the Battle Subway and traveled toRoute 6, where she met with Black again. Shortly after, White, Black, and Iris witnessed Alder losing a battle to N. Noticing that N awakenedZekrom, theLight Stone in Black's possession briefly transformed intoReshiram before reverting to its dormant state. When N tried leaving,Cedric Juniper appeared and asked White and Black to team up with him and get N to reveal the whereabouts of the Gym Leaders Team Plasma kidnapped. WithAmanda, Bo, and Cedric'sSamurott, they managed to easily defeat N'sZorua and Gigi, but N revived the rest of his Pokémon, bringing them back to square one. Black tried getting Musha to clear his head, but it could no longer stand the taste of Black's dream and ran away, causing Black to pass out from shock.

InThe Tournament Continues,Brycen enlisted White to help him investigateHood Man, one of the Pokémon League competitors he suspected had something to do with the kidnapped Gym Leaders. Her first step is to talk toMarlon, who lost to Hood Man in the third round of the quarterfinals. After gaining Marlon's trust, he revealed that Hood Man managed to somehow enter the League without collecting a single GymBadge. Her next target isLeo, who lost to Cheren in the second round of the quarterfinals. Her attempt to get information proved troublesome due to Leo's shyness around girls.

InTrue Friends, White investigated Gray and Hood Man and discovered they were affiliated with Team Plasma. Gray discovered White and captured her before revealing himself to be Zinzolin, one of the Seven Sages. AfterLooker arrived and captured Zinzolin, White took the opportunity to inform Black that Plasma infiltrated the League. Before she could finish, Hood Man used hisBeheeyem toTeleport White away.

InHomecoming, White awakened in N's room, where she metAnthea and Concordia, who told her of N's past and how he gained the ability to hear the hearts of Pokémon. White reunited with Gigi, who had been released along with N's other Pokémon with the exception of Zekrom. Gigi revealed that she had made her decision to return to show business. White accepted Gigi's request, but stated that as N's Pokémon, she had to come back as an actress. Afterward, White and Gigi went off to meet with Black.

InA Difficult Parting, White reunited with Black after he managed to defeat both N and Ghetsis. N thanked White and Black for helping him see the error of his ways and left with Zekrom to find his own path. With its counterpart gone, Reshiram began reverting into the Light Stone, the pull being so strong that Black feared he and White would be sucked in as well. This gave Ghetsis the idea to use Hood Man's Beheeyem to throw Black at Reshiram before making his escape. Knowing he was trapped, Black revealed he was wearing the BW Agency logo under his shirt and planned on revealing it to the audience after he won the tournament. Black asked if he paid off his debt, but was absorbed into the Light Stone before White could answer. As she confirmed that he did pay it off, White tried to reach out to the Light Stone, but it flew off to parts unknown as White cried out for Black to return.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Two years later, inMovie Panic, White was revealed to have been a part of the creation ofPokéstar Studios. After Cheren's class returned to school after a class trip, White congratulated Barbara for her performance during a movie.

InPink Slip, White traveled to theEntralink atFennel's request. There, she managed to find the Light Stone and retrieved it, but was approached by N and Zekrom. Although White assumed N wanted to take the Light Stone, he assured her that he was on her side. N couldn't come up with a reason why Zekrom didn't revert to its stone form, but pointed out that it and the Light Stone were called to Unova by the growing power ofKyurem. After explaining to White about Team Plasma's return, N had White take the Light Stone to safety while he and Zekrom faced Ghetsis and Kyurem. He told White that Reshiram would awaken if Zekrom were absorbed by Kyurem and decided to leave the rest up to Black.

InAbyssal Ruins, Ghetsis obtained theDNA Splicers and used them on Kyurem, allowing it to forcibly revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, trapping N inside as well. Reacting to this, the Light Stone pulled White inside of it and took her to thePokémon Dream World. There, she met with N again and reunited with Black. After Kyurem absorbed Zekrom to becomeBlack Kyurem, N stayed behind to fight it from the inside with Zekrom while White and Black headed outside to face Kyurem directly. White and Black teamed up to attack Kyurem, but their assault was cut short when N was ejected from the Dark Stone. With his opponents distracted, Ghetsis had Kyurem launch an attack before escaping. While they searched for Ghetsis, White and Black foundBlake andWhitley on a nearby beach. The four Unova Pokédex holders introduced themselves and decided to stop Team Plasma together. After tracking Kyurem's whereabouts to theGiant Chasm, White and the others rode on Reshiram's back to chase after Ghetsis.

InGiant Chasm, the group arrived at the Giant Chasm, where they were joined by Iris as well asGorm, who had betrayed Team Plasma to join the side of good. Tired of waiting for the heroes, Colress revealed himself and told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress,Rood appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt theColress Machine's effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become White Kyurem. Frustrated at his machine's defeat, Colress threw the device away and fled, revealing he decided to quit Team Plasma. Blake chased after Colress while Whitley went to save N, who was held captive aboard the Plasma Frigate. To help Whitley, White lent her Gigi before sending her onto the ship.

InThe Final Battle, an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart from the inside, setting it ablaze and causing it to crash. After preventing a large amount of liberated Pokémon from plummeting towards the ground, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram before leaving. White, Black, and Iris rode on Reshiram's back in order to get the others off the ship to safe ground. The Plasma Frigate crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting the building on fire and putting the liberated Pokémon Team Plasma left behind in danger. White, Black, Blake, Whitley,Hugh, Cheren, Bianca,Benga, and Cedric Juniper combined the might of all three stages of the Unovafirst partner Pokémon and unleashed a tripleGrass,Fire, andWater Pledge combination attack, successfully dousing the flames. Later, as he was arrested by theInternational Police, Ghetsis cursed the Unova Pokédex holders, stating that they were just as evil as him for crushing his dreams. White refuted this claim, stating that Ghetsis's schemes were never a dream, just his ambitions.

InEpilogue, White was revealed to have asked Blake and Whitley to become actors at Pokéstar Studios. When they refused, she hiredCurtis andYancy to take their places. Later, she attended theAspertia CityTrainers' School graduation ceremony, where she watched Blake, Whitley, and their classmates graduate.
