Professor Sapling

Professor Morgan Sapling is the leading pokémon professor in the Corbeau region and is first introduced in Chapter 1 of Pokémon Turquoise Version, where she is described as being a tall young woman with long brown hair and hazel eyes. She owns a relatively small lab in Serenity Town, which is shown to almost always be a mess. She is responsible for providing Turquoise and Magenta with their first pokémon, a vulpix and a male nidoran.

Professor Sapling is responsible for providing most new trainers in the Corbeau region with their first pokémon, but she never tells the trainers what they're going to receive. Rather, she prefers to present them with around six options and lets them blindly pick one. This is because she strongly believes in the mental bond between a pokémon and its trainer.

Among the vulpix and male nidoran, Professor Sapling also has a female nidoran, a pichu, a shroomish, and a hoothoot as the normal options.
