In the core series games
Bea is the fourthGym LeaderGalarianTrainers face in theirGym Challenge inPokémon Sword. Like most of the other Gym Leaders, she's initially introduced during the Gym Challenge opening ceremony at theMotostoke Stadium. She can later be encountered and battled at her Gym. She also serves as the player's second opponent in the Champion Cup Finals.
Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherited the centuries-old traditions and techniques from her parents.[6] She is also an expert onFighting-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 inPokémon 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.
After Bea's initial defeat, the player is awarded with theFighting Badge,TM42 (Revenge), and theFighting Uniform.
League Cards
This is a transcript of the back of Bea'sLeague Cards inPokémon 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 inbattle. 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..."

InAn Adventure of Mega Proportions!, Ash was informed that Bea would be his next Ultra Class opponent.
Bea reappeared inBattle Three With Bea!. She was shown training with her Pokémon in preparation of her third battle with Ash.

Later that evening, Bea congratulated Ash on his victory, finally referring to him by his actual name.

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.
In her initial encounters with Ash, Bea did not acknowledge him properly, presumably due to him using Fighting-type Pokémon without proper training. She did, however, acknowledge that his Riolu had potential, resulting in her calling him "Riolu's Trainer". During their third encounter, when Riolu had evolved into Lucario, Bea admitted that she admired Ash's improvisation. After she lost to him, Bea finally acknowledged Ash properly, calling him by his name, indicating her respect towards him.
