As the person in charge of Viridian City, this Officer Jenny was particularly knowledgeable about Celebi.
Because the family did not farm, their daily routine was to head into the mountains at dawn to hunt, returning only at dusk. If they caught game, they ate game; if not, they made do with wild vegetables foraged along the path.
