Vivian' | '''Vivian Meridian''' (Japanese: '''ビビアン''' ''Vivian'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Hoenn]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the older sister of [[Lilian Meridian]]. She first appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''. | ||
==In the anime== | |||
===History=== | |||
Vivian debuted in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', where she hosted the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], she helped {{an|May}} get back up on her feet after she fell down while trying to send out her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. | |||

In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after [[Raoul Contesta]] disqualified [[Jessie]] from the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest for cheating, Vivian apologized to the audience for the inconvenience. | |||
In ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', Vivian hosted the [[Rank (Contest)|R1]] {{to|Rubello}} Contest, which only accepted entrants who had previously earned at least one [[Ribbon]]. Upon noticing that [[Savannah]] was nervous, Vivian encouraged her by giving her a push. In the second round, Vivian showed concern for [[May's Bulbasaur]], who had a case of {{wp|stage fright}}. | |||
She was seen in a flashback in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to talk to her sister [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] at the [[Saffron City]] [[Contest Hall]]. | |||
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], which took place from ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'' and was held at [[Indigo Plateau]], Vivian joined [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]]. After the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] in the quarter-finals, she mentioned that she had been watching both of them since their days in [[Hoenn]] and that she was very impressed by their techniques. | |||
===Character=== | |||

Vivian is the older sister of [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] of [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Although the two look very similar and share the same occupation, they are drastically different in terms of personality. While Lilian has a bubbly and cheerful personality, Vivian is classy and graceful. According to Lilian, even if they dress so differently from each other, they are still mistaken for one another. | |||
Vivian has high enthusiasm for her job as an announcer. She is in charge of hosting all the [[Hoenn]] Pokémon Contests sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] as well. For this reason, she has appeared in a number of {{cat|episodes with Contests}} during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. She conducts every competition in a formal and punctilious way, much like the host of an award ceremony. | |||

[[File:Marian and Contest Judges M10.png|thumb|280px|Marian in the tenth movie]] | |||
* In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', [[Marian]] can be seen hosting the [[Alamos Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, she has a mole on the left side of her face (which she normally does not have), making her look exactly like Vivian. | |||
