His boast to get her laid by New Year's Day, four months away, sets off a storm of events that destroys Jasmine's heretofore melancholic existence. Shortly into the story, Morty, Ecruteak City's Gym Leader and a middle school 'friend' returns into Jasmine's life and brashly declares his intent to break her of her prudishness. Unfortunately for Jasmine, her innocent, anti-romantic lifestyle is under constant assault from all manner of indignities, from friends who tease her to unwanted suitors trying to woo her. She is infamous amongst her social circle for being hostile to all concepts of romance, love, and sex. She is, in her own words, '.twenty-one and five-foot-four and happily single'. Jasmine is the Gym Leader of Olivine City.
