Bea: Difference between revisions

Bea is the fourth [[Gym Leader]] [[Galar|Galarian]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}. Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherited the centuries-old traditions and techniques from her parents.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fighting-gym-leader-bea/</ref> She is also an expert on {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. From a young age, Bea rigorously trained with her Pokémon under the watchful - and strict - eye of her parents. As a result, she developed a stoic personality that perseveres even during dire situations in [[Pokémon battle]]s. She tries her best to go all out, even when defeat seems imminent. Many believe she has lost the ability to experience emotions, but truthfully, she doesn't want to show any weakness. In battle, though, Bea will sometimes reveal her true feelings to the partner Pokémon she knows and trusts. She also has a secret love of various sweets. However, she has a hard time enjoying them due to the attention from her fans.  

:''"I can't thank you all enough. With your help, the Dynamax Pokémon have all been returned to normal. I'll keep them safe here in the stadium, so no need to worry, [player]. Next time, I'll be the one who saves you in your hour of need. Give me a call if you're ever in a rough spot."''

:''"Argh! Fine then, let’s just destroy everything! It's time for an honorable Gigantamax!"''

:''"Thank you for a wonderful match. I really enjoyed battling you and your team. I'm upset that I lost, but I also feel so satisfied and so refreshed. In a way, I guess you could say it was the best sort of match anyone could ever hope for. I hope that you'll meet many more trainers and have many more matches in the future. And I hope that every one of those encounters will nourish your spirit."''

:''"Oh, [player]! Here for some secret training? Becoming Champion hasn't stopped you putting in the effort, I see. I'll have to stay just as motivated with Machamp and the rest of my team."''

:''"You never quite know when an {{p|Emolga}} might swoop down... It's difficult to plan your encounter for such an unpredictable Pokémon."''

:''"This sandstorm is nothing to me. It's about as scary as the attack {{m|Splash}}! Not that I'm trying to pick a fight with Nessa..."''

Bea has a strong personality, and she hates losing. Through the strict training she endured from a very young age, Bea has developed discipline and a strong work ethic in both karate and Pokémon battles. She is also willing to push herself to the extreme in the name of self-betterment and improvement and expects the same of her Pokémon, but isn't above admitting she went too far if necessary. She has a soft spot for sweets and, though concealing her emotions during matches, feels strongly about many things and is known to show a more open side to her partner Pokémon.

===In the Pocket Monsters manga===

Bea debuted in [[JNM11]], battling Ash in the [[World Coronation Series]].
