Quotes
  • Before battle
"“Dream big” is what I say! You’re looking at the future Champion, after all! Bring it on!"
  • Being defeated
"Wha-wha-what?! Perhaps that future-Champion stuff is all just a dream in the end..."
  • After being defeated
"OK. I’ll settle for being part of the Elite Four! OK. OK. I’ll settle for being a Gym Leader."
"But then again, I did say I should dream big... Got it! I’ll be the BEST Gym Leader in the world!"

Reason: QR code, her Super-Secret Base

Yūki appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as the owner of a special Super-Secret Base in Mossdeep City that the player can visit after scanning a QR Code, which was first shown at the Pokémon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Battle Streak Corner during Jump Festa 2015. The player can choose to challenge her to a Single Battle or invite her to their own Super-Secret Base. In-battle, she uses an Altaria that will always Mega Evolve at the first opportunity, as well as a Flareon, a Pokémon she portrayed in PK25.

Her team name is Team ゆうきあおい. Curiously, her Altaria has the move Return, despite its friendship value of 70 meaning that Frustration would have a higher base power.
