Karena runs a Pokémon Day Care near Shippo City where she watches over Pokémon eggs. Her granddaughter Daniela is the local kindergarten teacher. As thanks for helping out her granddaughter sort out her kindergarten class, she gave Ash Ketchum a Pokémon egg. She told him to raise it well so that it would be a great Pokémon. The egg that she gave Ash Ketchum eventually hatched into Ash's Scraggy while en-route to Castelia City.
