Cherry is a character from "The Psychic Sidekicks" who lives in Len Town with dreams of becoming a Psychic Pokémon Master. She first crosses paths with Ash in a forest and challenges him to a battle, though things don't go her way—Pikachu paralyzes her Girafarig, and it faints. What strikes her most isn't the loss itself, but watching how deeply connected Ash and Pikachu are. She's fascinated by their bond and wishes she could achieve something similar with her own Pokémon. She's heard the rumors that when Psychic-types really trust their trainers, they can even communicate telepathically.
Impressed enough by Ash and crew, Cherry invites them back to Len Town. That's when Team Rocket shows up with a giant Gengar mecha, sucking up all the Psychic Pokémon in the area. But Cherry and Girafarig have been working on their connection, and it pays off—she can actually predict Team Rocket's moves before they happen. With that edge, Ash manages to free the stolen Pokémon, and Girafarig finishes the job with Future Sight, sending Team Rocket flying.
After the dust settles, Cherry's got renewed determination. She and Girafarig are committed to becoming the ultimate Psychic-type partnership, no matter what it takes.
