Fennel is a Pokémon researcher who appears as a supporting character in Pokémon: Black and White Versions. Her research specializes in the dreams of Pokémon.

Background

Fennel went to college with Professor Juniper, and the two formed a strong bond of friendship. Fennel eventually had her lab in a building at Striation City, and she spared the space with Amanita, who was the maintained of Unova's PC boxes. Fennel studied Pokémon trainers themselves and also focused on the dreams of Pokémon. She sought dream mist from the Munna and Musharna nearby for use in establishing a connection to the Pokémon Dream World.

In Black and White, she met Hilbert/Hilda shortly after they arrived at Stiraton City and gave them HM 01: Cut. She tasked the trainers with collecting some dream mist for her from the Dreamyard. After Hilbert/Hilda gave her some dream mist, she promptly gave them a C-Gear so that they could explore their Pokémon's dreams using the Game Sync feature. Fennel also later gave Bianca a Dowsing Machine as well as one to pass on to Hilbert/Hilda.

Fennel also hosts a tutorial for the Pokémon Dream World.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• She was featured in an episode of the Pokémon anime. In her past she worked at a research facility at the Dreamyard researching dream mist as a clean energy source until a problem with a corrupted Musharna led to the place exploding. She then worked independently. Within the episode, she and her Munna, with the help of Ash and his friends, tracked down with missing Musharna, which wound up being captured by Team Rocket. They were able to free the Musharna, and Fennel was finally reunited with it.

Trivia

• Fennel's namesake is a plant species, most likely to complement the pattern of Pokémon professors being named after trees.
• Her hair clip seems to be designed to match Munna's floral pattern.
