The valiant trainer from Johto. Unlike most of them, she has no interest of obtaining the elusive title of Pokémon Master. Instead, she travels with her ever-growing team of comrades as she “boldly goes where no Pokémon or Trainer has gone before.”
After escaping from the clutches of Team Rocket and saving Mewtwo and his clones, she did just that. While she was transferring her friends from crowding, inhumane labs, to a secluded location at the frontier, she was unexpectedly sucked into a computer. And it was then when she wound up at Mainframe. With an immense arsenal of her Pokémon, Akari will take any challenge head on. Her faith in her comrades make her grow stronger.
She later became Bob’s assistant, whom she had a bitter relationship, especially when it came down to sparing viruses. Her popularity first began when she won a Game while he and Dot were deeply involved in a meaningless argument. The Stadium was built after she returned from Johto. She and her friends would stand up against any viral foe. When all was said and done, she became well-renowned throughout the Net.
A few years later, she eventually recruited the Smashers and faced against Daemon and her infected cronies. In the midst of her growing pains, and suffering from her allies’ betrayals, she had no choice but to leave Mainframe for good, as well as her Pokémon to her mentor’s care. After several years in hiatus, she finally resumed her journeys. Mewtwo convinced her, through an injured, wandering Porygon, that she must train it, as well as recruit others, in various regions; from Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos, she reassembled with her old comrades, and eventually challenged Mewtwo to a duel honing all their skills, including Mega Evolution.
They eventually reached Megaframe, but the battle abruptly ended by a mysterious force vanquishing Megabyte and his viral forces. They reunited with Bob and the others on their arrival, and he recapped the events that transpired here and the Super Computer. There was an entity known as Gnosis, and the Guardians have been unreliable in defending Systems from amok Users and viruses. They reluctantly teamed up as the entire Net was in danger by the new threat done by Gnosis and the Avatars, who were known as corrupt Code Masters. With the help of Exidy, as well as Bob being a Code Master, and Enzo being a junior Guardian, she worked together, and the war was won.
She and Enzo developed a strong relationship after that, and they wanted to obtain both formats as Trainers and Guardians respectively, following in each of their own footsteps.
Despite the shortcomings, Akari usually isn’t afraid of change or any enduring trial. As long as she has the presence of her many comrades, her future looks bright.
I come from the Johto region. I’ve lived on the frontier until I got assimilated to this place, Mainframe. My format, Pokémon Trainer. To protect my comrades in need, and to boldly go where no Pokémon nor Trainer has ever gone before. Reboot! - Akari’s announcement in Reboot’s opening credits
