Bea (anime)

Bea is a character appearing in Pokémon Journeys: The Series. She is Ash's main rival in the series, working towards the same goal as him.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Bea has been shown to be a serious combatant in both battles and karate. Apart from that, she is seasoned and powerful, being able to defeat Gym Leaders and Dojo Master. She also uses fighting stances when giving commands during battle. Resilient and confident, Bea emphasizes greatly on her own rules and can be rather blunt with her frank words even if it means hurting other's feelings, such as describing Korrina as weak and telling Ash to give up already when Riolu was on the edge of losing. Upon re-encountering Ash and Goh, she didn't even remember his name and referred to him as "Riolu's Trainer" (which later became "Lucario's Trainer" following the Pokémon's evolution).
Although mostly keeping a tough exterior, Bea actually has a soft spot for desserts. She even was a messy eater as crumbs were seen on her face when eating desserts. Despite her lack of emotions on the outside, Bea is actually a very kind and compassionate person, sharing her chocolate tart with Ash's Pikachu and Riolu.
==Biography==
Bea was considered a prodigy in Galar Karate as mentioned by Chuck, seeing Bea's great skill at a very young age. She studied the art with assistance from her father. Sometime in the past, Bea once had a battle against Korrina in which she came out victorious.PJ039: Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!
===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
Ash challenged Bea to a World Coronation Series battle. Bea used Grapploct and Hawlucha, while Ash used Riolu and Farfetch'd. However, both of his Pokémon were defeated and Bea was victorious.PJ034: Solitary and Menacing!
Sometime after her battle with Ash, her rank rose to 193. Ash then demanded a rematch, to which Bea accepted. Bea kept her Grapploct, and switched Hawlucha for Hitmontop. Ash kept his Riolu, and switched Farfetch'd for Pikachu. After a tough battle, the match ended in a draw. Following the battle, Ash, Goh, and Bea all went to eat a dessert picnic set up by Chuck. Ash and Goh were surprised to see that the tough -type user Bea enjoyed the sweet desserts alongside her Pokémon. She later states to Ash the next time they face each other will be in the Ultra Class.
Bea, along with her Grapploct, appeared as a silhouette in a fantasy, foreshadowing the future opponents Ash would face in the World Coronation Series.PJ065: Thrash of the Titans! She appeared as one of the many World Coronation Series Trainers that tuned in to watch Ash's battle against Volkner that ultimately ended in the former's victory, though she was seen meditating and listening to the broadcast, rather than watching it.PJ077: Excitement From the Ultra-Shocking Start!
Bea later had her rematch with Ash, having a team consisting of Hawlucha, Grapploct and Machamp. Initially her Pokémon had the upper hand during the match, but Ash's newly-evolved Lucario evened the odds in his favor, leaving her with Machamp only. Bea was impressed with his skill and Gigantamaxed Machamp, while Ash likewise Mega Evolved Lucario. The two Pokémon were evenly matched as neither Pokémon were able to knock each other out. However, Bea ended up losing and having her placing dropped after Machamp collapsed and was deemed unable to battle after getting hit with a point-blank Steel Beam. After the match, she remarked on Ash's disappointment when Leon left, but promised to have a rematch with him and called Ash by his name as an indicator that she had acknowledged him.PJ086: A Battle of Mega Versus Max!
Bea was later seen when she witnessed Allister helping Ash and his Gengar activate its Gigantamax form after drinking the Max Soup he made for it. She was really surprised that she'd never seen him help someone that often before.PJ092: The Winding Path to Greatness!
