She was voiced by in the anime series and video games, and in Pokémon Generations in Japanese and Samara Nayemi in the anime series, in Pokémon Generations, and in Pokémon Evolutions in English.
==Description==
Malva is a news reporter and a self-proclaimed Holo Caster star. She is also a former member of Team Flare, where she seems to be at least Admin-ranked, and rigorously defends their actions. She has a bad temper and expresses hatred for Calem/Serena, talking down on the defeat of Team Flare, and even threatening to kill him/her.
==History==
===Pokémon X and Y===
Malva is first seen in the game announcing a news bulletin at the Poké Ball Factory, discussing Team Flare's invasion of the factory without giving away their names.
After the player character defeats the Elite Four, Malva forces the player to fight her at the hotel in Lumiose City. Once she is defeated, she reveals that she had left Team Flare because she disagreed with Xerosic about creating the Expansion Suit and its use on a child. Malva agrees to help and then directs the player to where Xerosic is hiding so he can be turned in.
Despite Malva's involvement with Team Flare, there is no indication that Diantha or the other Elite Four members were aware that she was a member.
