Miyuki Yue Lazuli is Ash's distant relative from the Kalos Region. They were close and treated each other as siblings more than cousins and were inseparable when they were little. As time passed by, the two became Pokemon Trainers with the same goal of becoming a Pokemon Master. Hearing wonderful stories of the Hoenn Region from Ash, Yue decided to travel around the region to collect gyms badges and challenge the Pokemon Champion. With an unexpected twist of event, she met one of Ash's rival, the arrogant, cold-hearted Paul Shinji from the Sinnoh Region, who is also coincidentally collecting gym badges.
