Roxanne

Roxanne is the Rustboro City Gym Leader in the Pokémon anime (specifically appearing in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire), specializing in Rock-type Pokémon. She also serves as a teacher (and helps run) the Pokémon Trainers' School in Rustboro City, where she educates young students about Pokémon training, battling, and care.

In the anime, she's portrayed as a dedicated and caring educator who values proper learning for her students, emphasizing not just battling skills but also building friendships with Pokémon. She's responsible, kind, and supportive toward trainers and their Pokémon, though her teaching duties sometimes limit her availability for Gym challenges.

Her signature Pokémon in battles include Geodude and Nosepass (her powerhouse), and she awards the Stone Badge to those who defeat her.

She appears primarily in the episodes "Gonna Rule the School!" and "Winner by a Nosepass," where Ash battles her for his first Hoenn Gym challenge.
