'''Elaine''' (Japanese: '''アユミ''' ''Ayumi'') is the female [[player character]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Chase}}, and is analogous to {{ga|Red}} as he appears in [[Generation I]] and their [[remake]]s, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, along with {{ga|Leaf}} as she appears in the latter two games.

==In the games==
Elaine is a young girl from [[Pallet Town]]. Her adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls her and her friend {{ga|Trace}} to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Elaine picks a {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}} or {{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, while Trace picks the opposite Pokémon. Oak also gives them each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all of the Pokémon in Kanto.

From here, Elaine and Trace journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn. During their journey, they also have multiple encounters with {{ga|Blue}}, another {{pkmn|Trainer}} from Pallet Town who went on his own journey years earlier.

While traversing through [[Mt. Moon]], Elaine has her first encounter a [[Villainous team|criminal organization]] called [[Team Rocket]], which uses Pokémon for their own gain and profit. In addition to the organization's leader, [[Giovanni]], Elaine also has multiple run-ins with the {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admin}} [[Archer]] and the [[Team Rocket trio]] of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Occasionally receiving assistance from Trace, Elaine thwarts all of Team Rocket's scheme, most notably their takeover of the [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]]. Finally, when Elaine challenges the [[Viridian Gym]] for her final [[Badge]], she finds out that Giovanni is actually the final Gym Leader. After being defeated for one last time, Giovanni gives Elaine the {{badge|Earth}} and disbands Team Rocket in order to focus on bettering himself as a Trainer.

After going through {{ka|Victory Road}}, Elaine arrives at the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], where she confronts and defeats the [[Elite Four]]. Upon being defeated, Elite Four [[Lance]] reveals that Trace managed to defeat the Elite Four before her and become the {{pkmn|Champion}} first. Elaine and Trace battle for one last time, with Elaine defeating him and making her the new Champion.

After becoming Champion, Elaine travels to the [[Cerulean Cave]] to catch the mysterious Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}, encounters an equally mysterious girl called {{ga|Green}}, learns of Archer's plan to resurrect Team Rocket {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|someday}}, and challenges the 145 [[Master Trainer]]s who have appeared around Kanto. Once she has defeated six Master Trainers, Elaine challenges another previous Pallet Town Champion, the silent Trainer {{ga|Red}}, to a battle at Indigo Plateau.

If Elaine is not selected as the main character, she appears to assist the player when they use [[Support Play]], known only as a '''Support Trainer'''. Her appearance mirrors {{ga|Chase}}'s current appearance.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Elaine appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]''. {{ga|Green}} met her in [[Cerulean Cave]], being dismayed to find out that Elaine had managed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Mewtwo}} first, and challenged her to a {{pkmn|battle}} over it. Thanks to Mewtwo's overwhelming powers, Elaine eventually won the battle, receiving Mewtwo's [[Mega Stone]]s as a reward from Green. Later, she met up with {{ga|Trace}} and Green at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], before setting off with them.
