Vivian's job is mostly to reiterate what is going on during the [[Pokémon contest]], similar to an announcer at a sporting event. In addition, she also introduces the coordinators as they enter the stadium.
'''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}}.


Vivian is the sister of [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]]. The two of them look identical apart from what side the mole on their face is on.

In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after [[Raoul Contesta]] disqualified [[Jessie]] of 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}}.

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===
[[File:Vivian Lilycove Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|Vivian showing the {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Ribbon]]]]
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.
