Jeanette Fisher
Jeanette Fisher (Japanese: カオルコ Kaoruko) was Ash's fourth opponent in the Indigo Plateau Conference. She is a character of the day who appeared in The Fourth Round Rumble and a character in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga.
In the anime
Jeanette is from Crimson City. Similar to The Astounding Mandi, Jeanette is also very popular. When she entered the stadium, Jeanette had a red carpet laid out for her, flower petals were tossed on her, and she even had a cheering squad of her own.
Ash was confident he could beat Jeanette, and even took out her first two Pokémon, Beedrill and Scyther, without a problem. Her third Pokémon, a Bellsprout, seemed a surprising choice for her last Pokémon, but thanks to its unusual flexibility and agility, it ended up defeating Bulbasaur and Pikachu flawlessly. It was finally defeated by Muk's Body Slam. Although she was defeated, Jeanette took it well and was proud of her Bellsprout for doing a great job. She demonstrated this by carrying it outside in her arms instead of returning it to its Poké Ball.
She reappeared in a flashback in Friends to the End.
Jeanette and her Bellsprout made cameo appearances in the second Japanese opening theme, The Rivals, and its English dub counterpart, Pokémon World.

Bellsprout was Jeanette's last Pokémon, who she used during her battle against Ash. Despite its weak appearance, it proved to be quite strong, being able to absorb the blows dealt to it from Bulbasaur's Tackles and send the force right back at the Seed Pokémon, Slamming it around until it was defeated.
Ash next chose to use Pikachu, who attempted to use his Electric attacks on Bellsprout. After dodging Pikachu's Thunder Shock, Bellsprout was hit by a Thunderbolt, but the Flower Pokémon simply used its root-like legs as small lightning rods, conducting the electricity to the ground and leaving Bellsprout itself undamaged. Soon after, Bellsprout took Pikachu out with a Slam to the Mouse Pokémon's head.
Ash was down to the only Pokémon he had left—Muk. The Sludge Pokémon proved to be too tough for Bellsprout, as all of its attacks simply bounced off from Muk's slimy body, leaving Muk undamaged. Ash had Muk use Body Slam, trapping Bellsprout under the Sludge Pokémon's poisonous body, and Bellsprout was finally defeated.
It reappeared in flashbacks in Friends to the End and Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!.
Bellsprout's known moves are Slam and Razor Leaf.
