Blossom (POKÉTOON)
Blossom (Japanese: ツボミ Tsubomi) is a character who appeared in the third Pokétoon, A Budding Dream.
She is the daughter of two Galar Pokémon Champions. In her youth she watched videos of her father in his younger days as Champion, which inspired her to start a journey of her own and become Champion as well. Her mother was not very supportive of this however. Even so, Tsubomi bought a large amount of Poké Balls and Potions at the local Poké Mart and ventured into the wild to try and capture a Pokémon. Unfortunately, she proved unsuccessful in capturing a number of Pokémon.
Eventually, Blossom came across a Nidoran♂ and saved him from an Arbok. Just as she started to bond with Nidoran♂, his parents, a Nidoking and a Nidoqueen, showed up. The parents assumed Tsubomi meant harm to Nidoran♂ and chased her back to her hometown. The Nidoking and Nidoqueen were stopped from entering the town by a couple of local Trainers using their Pokémon. Meanwhile, Tsubomi rushed back home to get her father's Charizard, Chorobi, to help out. Riding and commanding Chorobi, she was able to put a stop to the fight between Nidoran♂'s parents and the Trainers. Nidoran♂ had become attached to Tsubomi and chose to stay with her and leave his parents.
Blossom's parents were left impressed with her handling of Chorobi and her ability to stop a conflict. They allowed her to leave on her journey with Nidoran♂ and watched as she left town. At some point in their journey, Nidoran♂ evolved into Nidorino. In a forest, Blossom encountered a Gengar and sent out Nidorino to battle it, having become a capable Trainer of her own.
