Professor Ivy's Triplet Assistants
Three women who work as research assistants to Professor Ivy on Valencia Island. They're collectively known as the triplets, though they have individual names: Charity (Japanese: ミナミ Minami), Tsunami (Japanese: ツナミ Tsunami), and Konami (Japanese: コナミ Konami). Their English names come from various sources including books.
The triplets made their debut in "Poké Ball Peril" and later appeared in a flashback during "A Tent Situation." While they're genuinely useful in helping Professor Ivy with her research, they're pretty hopeless when it comes to housework—cooking and cleaning especially. This domestic incompetence is actually what convinced Brock to stay behind as an additional assistant. The reminder of his own large family's needs struck a chord, and he decided the professor could use the help more than Ash needed him traveling through the Orange Islands.
