tagline: Gardenia from pokemon
card_name: Gardenia
description: Gardenia first appeared in the first Generation IV games as the Eterna City Gym Leader, specializing in Grass Pokémon. The player first meets her in Eterna Forest, outside of the mansion. Her Gym is filled with plants, and trainers that challenge her must search for, and find all of the Gym members before they can face her. Upon defeating her, she will reach into her waistband and reward the player with the Forest Badge and TM86 (Grass Knot).
  
  Appearance
  Gardenia has brown eyes and short half-brown, half-black hair. She wears a black long-sleeved crop top that shows her midriff under a green cloak with a black "X" mark in the center. She wears brown knee-length khaki shorts and a black belt with a silver buckle around her waist. Finally, she wears green boots with black laces. 
  
  Personality
  Gardenia is a quirky and friendly trainer, who gets giddy whenever she comes across Grass-type Pokémon. Although she has a bubbly personality, her past may suggest she's a lot more complex than initially believed. Her connection with the Old Chateau has yet remained a mystery, Gardenia is shown as a cheerful and happy girl who loves to make friends but is also serious and competitive when it comes to Gym battles. She has an extreme interest for any other Grass-type Pokémon that she sees.
