Description
Martine is a young girl from the Kalos region who first appears in the Pokémon the Series: XY and XYZ anime, primarily as a supporting character in the Mega Evolution Specials and later in the main series. She is a beginning Pokémon Trainer, having just started her journey when she witnesses the power of Mega Evolution during a battle between Alain and another Trainer. Inspired and intrigued by this phenomenon, she decides to follow Alain on his travels, though he is initially reluctant to have her accompany him.
In terms of personality, Martine is energetic, curious, and enthusiastic about Pokémon training, but she is also noticeably clumsy and prone to tripping or falling. Her Chespin, which she nicknames Chespie, is always by her side outside its Poké Ball and often helps her out of trouble. Despite her awkwardness, she is very determined and cares deeply about her Pokémon and her friends. Her motivations are driven by a desire to learn more about Mega Evolution and to grow stronger as a Trainer, following Alain’s example. She also hopes to one day help her own Chespin achieve a similar power.
Martine's role in the story is closely tied to Alain’s journey. She acts as a persistent companion, often cheering him on during his battles and providing emotional support. Her presence also highlights Alain’s more human side, as he shows concern for her well-being despite his reserved nature. A significant plot point involves her Chespin falling into a coma after helping Zygarde escape from Team Flare’s laboratories. Martine becomes deeply worried and spends much of the series hoping for Chespie’s recovery, which gradually shows signs of improvement by the end of the season. During the Kalos League, Martine meets Ash Ketchum and his friends after a chance encounter with Clemont’s Chespin. She befriends them and shares her story, forming a bond with the group. She also watches the league battles closely, especially Alain’s matches, and is visibly emotional during the final fight between Alain and Ash.
Martine develops throughout the series from a naive beginner into a more experienced and empathetic Trainer. Her key relationships include her strong attachment to Alain, whom she looks up to and supports unconditionally, and her partnership with her own Pokémon—Chespie and a Flabébé she nicknames Bébé. She also forms a friendly connection with Ash’s friends and Professor Sycamore, who keeps an eye on her and Chespie’s condition.
Notable abilities include her basic knowledge of Pokémon battling, though she initially relies heavily on Alain’s advice. Her Chespin knows moves such as Vine Whip, Pin Missile, and Toxic, which it used to help her capture Flabébé. Her strength lies more in her perseverance and loyalty than in raw skill, and her growth is measured by her increasing confidence and willingness to support those she cares about.
