Hikari

Hikari is Professor Rowan's assistant.

Personality
Outwardly a cheerful and friendly person, Hikari performs a facade to hide her true feelings. She hates her father Mr. Platinum, the owner of the Poketch Company in Jubilife City because his Houndoom started a fire that destroyed her family's apartment in the Jubilife Condominuims, killing her mother. Hikari has an intense fear of fire type Pokemon, and fire in general. When around poison types and fire types, she has flashbacks of the fire and feels like she is suffocating due to the toxic gas or smoke in the air. She is a great friend to Andrew and Nico, and can hardly tolerate her Pokedex filling rival Luke.

History
Hikari suffered a traumatic experience as child, when her father's Houndoom caused her apartment to burn down which resulted in the death of her mother. She holds resentment for her father, the CEO of the Poketch company, Mr. Platinum, and has him sent away to prison. Hikari travels with Drew in order to fill her pokedex for Professor Rowan, but begins to feel remorse after Nico, the bad boy she thought couldn't care less about anyone, told her that she was just letting them rot away and not experience anything resembling companionship. She leaves behind the duty of filling the pokedex to her rival Luke, and they change from rivals to friends. Hikari manages to form a strong bond with her Pokémon team. After nearly being murdered in a church after a Pokémon contest in Heart home City, Hikari was rescued by Nico and she began to develop feelings towards him. These feelings came out after Drew went missing after a fight with Cyrus, and he consoled her. Hikari is overjoyed when Drew returns at the Canalave Library, and gets worried when he investigates the bombing at Lake Valor. She travels to Lake Verity with Professor Rowan, while Nico travels to Lake Acuity with Luke in order to protect the Lake Guardians. Hikari travels to the Spear Pillar with Drew and Nico, as well as the Champion Cynthia in order to stop Team Galactic's master plan. Her Pokémon are quickly outmatched, and she resolves to train and grow stronger with them if they all survive. Hikari sees Drew finish off his list of leads that need to be investigated in Sinnoh, and they attend a banquet with Cynthia and the rest of Sinnoh's Elite Four. There they encounter three mysterious women, operatives of the organization Thanatos, and put a stop to their assassination attempt on Cynthia, unfortunately without finding their identities. Hikari leaves Drew to stay in Sandgem Town after he becomes extremely jealous of her relationship with Nico. The two part on bad terms, and Drew departs to Kanto on a new assignment.
