Fleur Augarde

Fleur Augarde (sometimes called "Flower") is a fictional character in the All My Pocket Monsters series. She is a Nurse Joy.

Biography
Fleur was born in Blackthorn City, Johto, to a large family. She has four sisters and two brothers, all of which she had close relationships with. However, while growing up she became frustrated with the city's oppressive and anti-Pokémon ways.

She studied theater design until, at the age of sixteen she ran away from home after an argument with her parents. She then hitch-hiked all the way to Viridian City and immediately sought out an application to study at the Nurse Joy Academy due to her interest in caring for Pokémon.

By the start of the season two she is in her first year of residency at the Viridian City Pokémon Hospital and is nineteen years old.

Season One
Fleur does not appear in season one.

Season Two
Fleur is first seen is season two tending to Flynn's Mudkip. She is introduced as the top Nurse Joy resident in Viridian City and is shown to be a skilled rollerskater. Her affection for Flynn is immediately apparent. In the second episode, she is upset by the knowledge of Flynn's sexuality, but is overjoyed to obtain a Togepi from him. Like the rest of the general public, she is relatively distressed about the Pacifier's attack on Ash Ketchum's funeral. She is shown to be suspicious of Val when Minecorp takes over the Viridian City Pokémon Hospital, but cannot seem to place why.

She is kidnapped in the fifth episode, “Causality”, after trying to sneak into Minecorp's warehouse when Togepi is visibly distressed by it. She remains missing until Adele and Flynn track her down two episodes later and confesses that she was used to tend to damaged Pokémon during her abduction.

After her abduction, Fleur is forced to stay with Adele due to safety concerns. Concerned about the unhealthy Pokémon she cared for with Minecorp, she decides to assist everyone on their quest to dissemble the company. This leads to her working closely with Adele and using her position as a Nurse Joy to investigate the missing Legendary Pokémon. She travels with everyone to Saffron City, transferred to the Saffron City Pokémon Hospital.

In episode eight, “Crossroad Blues”, she is set up on a date with Bronx. However, the date ends disastrously and the two agree to be friends instead. She volunteers to be the official Officer Jenny liaison Nurse Joy at Adele's request; this is in order to investigate the link between the Officer Jennys and Galaxia Industries. She also volunteers at the Indigo League Competition.

Her Togepi is not inside its Pokéball when Giovanni Industries blocks all Pokéball, so she is unaffected by the event. In the sixteenth episode she is seen talking to Flynn about her romantic feelings for Adele, and Flynn encourages her to act on them.

She remains with the Nurse Joys for the rest of the season despite their revealed partnership with Galaxia Industries. This is because she believes in treating the Pokémon regardless and so that she can report information back to everyone. She supports Derek's plans to overthrow Giovanni Industries, The Next Step and the Pacifiers.

As Derek confronts the Pacifiers in order to save Flynn, Fleur and Adele are under siege from the Officer Jennys, under Minecorp's instruction. Knowing that Derek will need her help, she tells Adele that she loves her before rollerskating into the fight in Saffron City. Although Fleur does not fight in the final battle, she remains on hand to administer medical attention to everyone's Pokémon. During the fight her Togepi evolves into Togetic.

Fleur is last seen surrendering alongside Derek and is arrested.

Personality and Traits
Similar to every other Nurse Joy, Fleur is described as being kind and patient. Though she can be quite naive and fleecable, she is never without good intentions. She is fairly clumsy and often provides comic relief with her constant literal interpretations of common expressions and/or rhetorical questions.

Fleur is generally depicted as a "typical teenage girl", with a fondness for over-romanticizing situations. She especially likes matchmaking, which she seems to have a knack for. She is very idealistic.

She is easily wooed, likes very spicy food and enjoys rollerskating and constructing theater costumes in her spare time.

Abilities
Fleur is very good at her job and is often listed as one of the top performing Nurse Joys. It is said that she has a gift for healing Pokémon and, in the lead-up to the season finale, develops basic skills to treat humans as well.

She has shown exemplary skill in climbing obstacles because of her childhood at Blackthorn City and is an avid rollerskater. She often uses this to her advantage, relying on them for speedy getaways and to slip through otherwise difficult terrain.

She is very skilled at creating and mending clothes. These leads her to create various disguises for everyone. She is responsible for the creation of Derek, Saul and Allen's battle outfits for the fight against The Next Step and The Pacifiers. She also makes various modifications to Adele's Officer Jenny uniform.

Relationships
Family

Fleur does not keep in contact with her family since running away from home. They do not seem to have any attempt to locate her after her disappearance. Though she is happy with her new life and does not regret leaving, she admits to missing her family several times throughout the season.

Friendships
Due to her genial and outwardly friendly nature, Fleur has very many friends within Viridian City. Her best friend is a fellow Nurse Joy, Rowena. She is apparently on good terms with all other Nurse Joys in the Hospital.

Although Fleur is disappointed when Flynn publicly comes out due to her intense infatuation with him, the two remain close friends. They often spend time outside of work together and are constantly trading advice. They come to see each other as brother and sister.

After their date goes awry Fleur and Bronx decide to remain friends. However, Bronx does not interact with her for the rest of the season and in fact seems to go out of his way to avoid her. This is believed to be due to his extreme embarrassment at their failed date.

By extension, Fleur befriends the rest of the group as she becomes more and more tangled up in Galaxia Industries' insidious plots. Because of their similar personalities, she grows especially close to Esmé and is often shown teaching her how to rollerskate and designing clothes for her. She is very upset by Esmé's death, honoring her memory by creating a memorial site and organizing a service.

Romantic Interests
Initially, Fleur is infatuated with Flynn. However, she quickly gets over this when she discovers that he is gay. Due to her romantic nature, she is often approached by men seeking her company. This generally flusters her and she very rarely accepts any proposals.

She is sent on a blind date with Bronx. The date ends in disaster after Bronx's awkwardness causes several humorous mishaps. The two agree to remain friends.

In the latter half of the second season, Fleur appears to develop romantic feelings for Adele Benway. As she has not experienced an attraction to the same sex prior to this, she is noticeably affected by this and seems to be in denial for most of the series, until Flynn encourages her to formally acknowledge her feelings. She confesses her love to Adele in the season finale; however they are under siege and Adele does not have the time to acknowledge this.

Appearance
Fleur is physically identical to all other Nurse Joys. Her blond hair has been dyed pink for the role and is always in stylized in the Nurse Joy fashion. She is forever depicted in her Nurse Joy uniform. The Nurse Joy uniform consists of a pink and white harajuku-styled dress, white stockings and knee-high pink boots. Glove types vary from Nurse to Nurse, but they are generally lacy and pink. The AMPM Nurse Joy uniform is noted for being extremely feminine and much more detailed than the original Pokemon's uniforms. Fleur always carries emergency medical supplies in a small brown satchel, even when off-duty. She has light blue eyes.

She has only been described in casual dress a handful of times, with her uniform replaced by a similar-looking dress of some kind. She seems avidly fond of stockings.

Pokémon
Being a Nurse Joy, Fleur possesses the appropriate qualifications to obtain Pokémon. Although most Nurse Joys have a mixture of healing Pokémon such as Chansey and/or Blissey, Fleur receives a rare Togepi, dubbed Min, from Flynn in the second season episodes "State of Mind". She is very protective of Min, carrying her around everywhere and maintaining a close, nurturing relationship.

In the second season finale, Min evolves into Togetic to Fleur's joy.
