Professor Araragi (Japanese: アララギ博士 Dr. Araragi) is the resident Pokémon professor of the Isshu region. She is the first main series Pokémon professor who is female.

In the games

Professor Araragi will debut in Pokémon Black and White, where, like the other professors, she will give the player a Pokédex in her lab; however, she leaves a present containing the starter Pokémon at the player's house for the player, Bel and Cheren.

In the anime

Professor Araragi makes her first appearance in BW001 and is an old friend of Professor Oak. She gives Ash, Delia and Oak a ride in her jeep to her lab so she can study Ash's Pikachu. She then shows Ash the new Starter Pokémon with Shooti, and gives Shooti his first Poké Balls.

Ash later returns to Professor Araragi's lab after finding out that Ash's Pikachu has lost his electricity from Zekrom. Later the storm arrives again but this time it gives Pikachu's electric powers back. And the next day Ash departs.

She reappeared in BW003 where she sent Mijumaru's Pokéball to Ash, so he could capture it.
