Lisa (Japanese: リン Rin) is a supporting character who appeared in Spell of the Unown: Entei. She is a Pokémon Trainer who challenged Ash to a Full Battle.
History
While Ash and his friends were traveling, they encountered Lisa, who challenged Ash to a Full Battle. Ultimately, Lisa's Girafarig and Butterfree defeated Ash's Chikorita and Bulbasaur; his Totodile, Noctowl, and Cyndaquil defeated her Granbull, Aipom, and Mankey, respectively; and Ash's Pikachu and her Quagsire came to a draw, thus giving Ash the win.
Afterwards, she and her Pokémon had lunch with the group. Upon learning the group was looking for a Pokémon Center, Lisa escorted them to the nearby Greenfield. However, upon arriving, they realized the area had been turned into a crystal wasteland that was still spreading. Professor Oak and Ash's mother soon arrived to investigate the phenomenon, including the disappearance of their mutual friend Spencer Hale.
Following Delia's kidnapping by an Entei, Ash and his friends went against Oak's orders and rushed to the epicenter of the event, the Hale mansion. In support of Ash, Lisa gave Ash her Pokégear to coordinate the rescue mission and then remained at the Pokémon Center with Oak and Schuyler.
After the crisis was resolved, Lisa waved goodbye to the group and left to continue her journey.
Character
Lisa is amiable, easygoing, and enjoys a challenge. She also looks out for her friends, like when she gave Ash her Pokégear to avoid having him rush into things without any help.

Aipom is Lisa's primary Pokémon and is often seen outside of its Ball. It volunteered to go third in Lisa's battle with Ash. It proved to be extremely agile and graceful, using its tail as both a trapeze and a weapon in battle. However, this agility proved no match for Ash's Noctowl, who attacked it relentlessly and knocked it out with Tackle.
None of Aipom's moves are known.
Girafarig was sent out to battle Chikorita, and proved to be a powerful battler, coming very close to hitting Chikorita on its first attack. It was tripped over by Vine Whip, but managed to dodge the Razor Leaf and struck Chikorita with a Psybeam, dazing her and knocking her out of the match.
Butterfree was Lisa's fourth choice of Pokémon to battle Ash, fighting his Bulbasaur. It deflected Bulbasaur's Vine Whip easily, and then dazed it with Sleep Powder, before finishing it off with a gust of wind.
Butterfree's known moves are Safeguard, Sleep Powder and Whirlwind.
Mankey was sent out to fight Ash's Cyndaquil. It was quick and agile, but only managed to land one blow on Cyndaquil before it was blasted by Flamethrower and defeated.
None of Mankey's moves are known.
Quagsire was Lisa's final Pokémon. Unlike the rest of her team, it was slow and worked defensively rather than offensively. It completely shook off Pikachu's Electric attacks, and met his physical ones with blows of its own. It then blew Pikachu away with Water Gun, but when Pikachu used the swing set momentum to propel himself into a falling Tackle, both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw and giving Ash three wins to Lisa's two.
Quagsire's only known move is Water Gun.

- Lisa shares her name with her English voice actress.
- Lisa has two Pokémon in common with Ash (Butterfree and Aipom), as well as the pre-evolved form of a third, Primeape. However, none of these three remain in Ash's immediate possession.
