Melissa

Melissa is the champion of the Raegogi region. Notably, she is Riley's aunt and a fan of R.E.M., who are the region's Elite Four. In fact, she went to college with its members. (Except for the Champion/Elite Four part, all of this is true in real life, from what Spinny told me! ~Rotamaster Chaos) The player can challenge her to a battle against a team with levels similar to those of the player's own Pokémon by visiting her in a special event after R.E.M.'s last show; their victory leads to her giving the player the band members' autographs.
