Erika Gloom

Erika first appeared in the episode Pokémon Scent-sation, where she was first seen as a manager at a perfume shop. Due to an insult of the perfume from Ash, Erika banned him from the shop. When Ash and co. made their way to the local Gym, they found out that Erika was also the Gym Leader, where she banned him there too.

Following a plan made up by Team Rocket, Ash dressed up as a girl and re-introduced himself as "Ashley", so as to sneak inside the Gym. After his disguise was disintegrated by Pikachu, Erika later on decided to battle him. She had to under Pokémon League rules. Their match was cut short however, when Team Rocket decided to set fire to the Gym.

Everyone made it out of the Gym until Erika realized that her Gloom was still inside. Ash then ran into the gym and saved the Gloom. After the ordeal, Erika rewarded Ash with a Rainbow Badge for his actions.

In the anime[]

Erika's Gloom
Gloom
Gloom is Erika's main and favorite Pokémon. It was first seen absorbing Koffing's Smoke and knocking out Team Rocket with its stench. It was later seen in Ash's gym battle with Ash where it was the final Pokémon used in the battle. It quickly beat Charmander by releasing its strong smell. It was then caught in the fire in the gym caused by Team Rocket and Ash saved it which made Erika give him the Rainbow Badge out of gratitude.
Erika's Tangela
Tangela
Tangela was Erika's first Pokémon in her battle against Ash. It was shown powerful and beat Bulbasaur with a combination of Constrict and Stun Spore.

Weepinbell
Weepinbell was only seen shortly in battle. It went up against Ash's Charmander and attacked immediately with Razor Leaf but was beaten quickly when Charmander burnt all of the Razor Leaf and the Skull bashed Weepinbell out of the match.
