Hikaru Hatsumi
Hikaru Hatsumi’s dream is to become the world’s greatest Pokémon pop idol. She’s a talented singer with a kind heart, good grades, and a love for bubble tea and all things Pinap Berries. She’s also lesbian.
After graduating from Gale Beach High School, Hikaru joined Project Flameback alongside her classmates Bruce, Sammy, and Walter, on their mission to discover the source of the spacetime rifts that have been appearing across the Alchas region.
Hikaru is agile in battle, using Trailblaze (which she taught herself from a TM) to raise her Speed stat and then dealing Speed-boosted damage with Electro Ball. She’s also caring and intelligent, having excelled in physics class and developed her business acumen while working summers at her mom’s surf shop, Alola Sporting Goods.
Hikaru was born to a mixed family: her dad is Goku Hatsumi, an Infernape from the legendary Hatsumi clan of the Vulcanburg area, and her mom is Janis, an Alolan Raichu from Briney Breeze Island. She also has a younger sibling, a Chimchar named Quinn. Together, they live on the second floor of their beach house on the western edge of town, just above the Alola Sporting Goods store.
