 In The Game

**Pokemon Spork**

Belinda was the first Dark-type leader of the Ceolis League. She's resigned during the events of Spork.

The player first meets Belinda when reaching the end of Raila Jungle. Belinda and Belladonna welcome the player, discuss possibly taking action against Team Portal, and mention that they were invited to Crolea's birthday party too. They also inform the player that the bell to Umira suddenly stopped working after the player's friends went through it, and recommend talking to Stryker to see if he'd be able to help. They heal the player's Pokemon before they leave to do some shopping in Olidroll City and wish them safe travels. Following this conversation, Belinda and Belladonna will appear at the top floor of the Olidroll City Department Store and the player can interact with them there.

At Crolea's birthday party, Belinda says that it's a party not even the Rogues would think of sabotaging, and on the topic of the Rogues also says that it's good to see Brutus trying to redeem himself.

If the player visits Belinda and Belladonna after Crolea's birthday party and speaks to Belinda, she asks the player if they've read her diaries at old mansion in Opaque Valley. If the player says yes, Belinda wonders about the Litwick, having remembered that the player also saw it in a dream. She also tells the player that the "[REDACTED]" person mentioned in the last diary was Brutus. If the player says no, Belinda notes that the player tenses up, and tells them that she doesn't mind if people read the diaries since the mansion is essentially a public memorial now.

During the final battle against Team Portal, Belinda and Belladonna are stationed near the Lightning Lounge, tasked with catching any Team Portal agent that tries to enter or exit.

During the postgame, Belinda is front of her mansion at Opaque Valley, and mentions a hidden section of the valley beyond the river to the northwest. When the player follows, she reveals that there's an opening near the trees. Past the opening is Yveltal. Belinda says she found Yveltal's spot during a revisit to the valley after she moved to Crimson Path with Belladonna, and that she managed to earn its trust. After battling Yveltal, it will lend its power to the player, and Belinda will go back home, impressed with the battle.

In the postgame, the player can enter Kayla's testing room at the Pokemon Research Institute by speaking to Alumia in front of the room. Alumia will show the player a machine that can simulate battles with some of the retired Gym Leaders of the Ceolis League. One of the simulated battle teams is for Belinda.

**Delicia's Return to Dreamland**

In Delicia's Return to Dreamland, Belinda is at Crola's birthday party on Disco, the Halloween Hide and Seek event at Opaque Valley, the Wild Berry performance at Wonky Woods, and the Winter Ball at Snorunt Village. During the hide and seek event, Delicia can find Belinda past the river by getting a ride from the nearby Murkrow. Belinda wasn't able to hide in time because she saw some Pokemon and stopped to pet and feed them, but she says she wouldn't ignore them even if it means being found.

## Quotes

 "*Hello. I'm Belinda, one half of Ceolis's best saboteur duo. There's more to battles than just attacking the opponent's Pokemon until they have no stamina left. Yes, you need to defeat their Pokemon to win. But when you can't see your opponent but they can see you, it doesn't matter how hard you can punch. When you can't even land a hit, it doesn't matter which of you can fire the bigger blast of energy. I prefer long, strategic battles over short, straightforward slugfests. I hope you do too, because you won't be able to brute force your way through this.*"

 "*It's always nice to see others who have a strategic approach to battle! If you think carefully and adapt to your environment, you can find many ways to overcome a stronger adversary.*"

* "*.*" -When sending out last Pokemon.
* "*That's a battle I can be satisfied with.*" -After defeat.
