Bea is the fourth Gym Leader Galarian Trainers face in their Gym Challenge in Pokémon Sword. Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherited the centuries-old traditions and techniques from her parents. She is also an expert on Fighting-type 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 battles. 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.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Bea's League Cards in Pokémon Sword.

Normal League Card

"Given special attention from her parents, Bea trained hard with her partner Pokémon since a very young age. This has honed her judgment skills, and she is able to remain calm and collected even when facing dire situations in battle. This leads many to think she lacks emotion, but the truth seems to be that she doesn't want to show weakness. She is sometimes known to show her true feelings to her partner Pokémon during battles. She is secretly a huge fan of various sweets, and this has recently been found out by her fans. The additional attention has made enjoying sweets a little difficult."

Rare League Card

"In order to become strong, one must face opponents who are stronger than oneself. Even if defeat seems inevitable, Bea will still go all out and try to at least draw. It's possible that the strict (one might even say too strict) training from her stern parents has left a burden on young Bea, taking away her smile. So, who has seen Bea smile? Her family? Her Pokémon? Or maybe someone else entirely..."

Main series

Bea made her main series debut in Solitary and Menacing!. She first battled the Karate Master at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City and won. Soon after, she was challenged to a World Coronation Series battle by Ash and had a two-on-two battle with him. She used her Hawlucha and Grapploct to battle Farfetch'd and Riolu and emerged victorious without losing a single Pokémon, causing her rank to go up.

Bea reappeared in a flashback in Making Battles in the Sand!.

Bea reappeared in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!, where she was training at the Cianwood Gym with Chuck when she received a challenge to a rematch from Ash. Bea accepted, using her Hitmontop and Grapploct to battle Pikachu and Riolu. The battle ended with a draw.

A silhouette of Bea along with her Grapploct was revealed at the end of Thrash of the Titans!, revealing that she had advanced to the Ultra Class of the World Coronation Series.

She made a cameo appearance at the end of JN077 while watching Ash’s World Coronation Series match against Volkner. During this appearance, she was revealed to possess a Dynamax Band.

Bea reappeared in JN085. She was shown training with her Pokémon in preparation of her third battle with Ash. After introducing each other to their Pokémon, Ash and Bea enjoyed some sweets with Korrina and Goh. The next day, the two began their battle, with Leon arriving to spectate and provide commentary.

Bea will reappear in JN086.

Character

Bea has a strong and confident personality, having been trained in Galar karate by her father since she was young. While she shows proper discipline and etiquette in battle, Bea speaks frankly and directly, calling Korrina "overconfident" and pointing out Ash's openings as she sees them. Extremely powerful, Bea was able to defeat other Fighting-type experts like Korrina and the Kanto Fighting Dojo Karate Master. Like Ash, Bea aims to win against Leon in the World Coronation Series, in order to prove herself as the strongest Trainer in the world.

However, Bea is revealed to be less hardened outside of battle, and she appears to have acknowledged Ash and his Riolu as rivals after they battled to a draw in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!. Like in the games, Bea has a hidden love of sweets, gladly eating Chuck's complementary sweets with her Pokémon and sharing it with Ash's own Pokémon as well.

Bea in Pokémon: Twilight Wings

Bea briefly debuted in Letter, where she battled Leon in a Pokémon League tournament and lost, this specific battle is the starting point for several events shown in the series. She was later seen on a mountain with a Rhydon.

In Buddy, Hop watched her match with Leon on television. In Sky, she gave her thoughts about Leon in an interview.

Character

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.
