Viola: Difference between revisions

[[XY005|He arrived there]] just as Viola, who was revealed to a professional photographer known for her excellent shots of Bug-type Pokémon, was returning to Santalune City where she met Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie, after she took a picture of Ash and Pikachu at the fountain, Viola gave them directions to her Gym, but she didn't tell them she's the Gym Leader. After getting back to her gym, Viola reunited with her older sister Alexa, and Ash figures out that Viola is the Santalune Gym Leader. Ash challenged Viola to a Gym Battle and she accepted Ash's challenge. Viola's {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Vivillon}} had a type disadvantage against [[Ash's Fletchling]] and {{AP|Pikachu}}, however Viola's strategy was to immobilize both Pokémon using {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Sticky Web}}. This worked and Ash lost the battle. After the battle, Viola showed Alexa the picture the picture of Ash and Pikachu she took earlier, but wasn't impressed by the battle. Alexa warns her not to underestimated Ash, then suddenly leaves without another word, much to Viola's confusion.

Viola reappeared in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'' at the [[Battle Chateau]], where she reunited with Ash and his friends. Viola also explains she has the noble title Duchess, the second highest noble title. Then Viola and Grant exchange banter after Grant falls from the wall he was climbing on, and explains to Ash and his friends Grant is a strong trainer. During Ash's battle against Chester, Viola tells Grant about her battle with Ash and his Pokémon, and admitted that they had spirit. At first Grant didn't see it, until near the end of the battle, Grant agreed with her. After Ash won the battle against Chester, Viola wanted to take a photo of Ash and his friends to remember Ash's first victory at the Battle Chateau, when Grant dropped white gloves on her shoulder. Grant asks Viola for a battle, and she accepts. Viola battles with her Surskit and Grant battles with his Onix! After a long battle, Grant wins the battle thus earning the highest noble title, Grand Duke. Later, Viola tells Ash and his friends that Grant is the Cyllage City Gym Leader, before Grant heads back to the Cyllage Gym.

She appeared in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', where she was seen watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from Lumiose City along with Alexa.

In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', she and Vivillon freed Ash and Alain from the vines created by the [[Giant Rock]]. However, a vine hits Viola and she falls into Grant and they both get captured by the vines. Viola and everyone else encourage Ash and Alain to break into the Giant Rocks interior and save Chespie. After Ash and Alain save Chespie from the Giant Rocks interior, Viola and everyone else had their Pokémon fire an attack in an attempt to destroy the Giant Rock. But Lysandre powered up the Giant Rock again. Lysandre has the Giant Rock fire an attack at everyone, and although Valerie's Spritzee used Light Screen around the area. Viola and the others still got hurt by the attack. After they recovered, the Giant Rock started moving again. Viola and her allies once again tried to stop, but the Giant Rock fire's another attack at them. Things seem hopeless until [[Squishy]], a Zygarde Core, convinces [[Z2]], another Zygarde Core, to believe in humans. Together, they transform into a Zygarde Complete Form along with all of the Zygarde Cells in the world, and they destroy the Giant Rock with Core Enforcer seemly engulfing Lysandre as well, although his fate is unclear. Then Viola and the others see Squishy and Z2 leave, but not before they fixed most of the damage caused by Team Flare earlier. Then they all watched the sun rise on a new day.

Like her sister, she is very cheerful and friendly but has an unwavering focus in battle. According to Alexa, her trips away from Santalune Gym are often long. She helps Alexa with her work at times and she shares a friendship with Grant, though she is shown to get easily annoyed when Grant falls from the walls he's climbing on.

|desc={{p|Vivillon}} is Viola's second known Pokémon. It was first used against Ash in their first Gym battle. It was sent out to battle {{AP|Fletchling}} after it had defeated Surskit. It won the battle by using Psychic to trap Fletchling in Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}, leaving it defenseless to Vivillon's Solar Beam. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Vivillon faced Fletchling again in a rematch, where it beat Fletchling again by hitting it with Sleep Powder, leaving it defenseless to Solar Beam once more. Then it fought {{AP|Pikachu}}, where Vivillon was defeated after its wing was frozen by the ice surrounding the Gym, hindering its ability to fly and leaving it an easy target for Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. It was seen in a flashback in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokemon Smuggler!]]''. It appeared again in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where it helped to destroy the Giant Rock.

Vivillon's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Solar Beam}}, and {{m|Sleep Powder}}.}}
