Lilian Meridian (Japanese:リリアンLilian) is a recurring character inPokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. She is themaster of ceremonies ofKantoPokémon Contests and the younger sister ofVivian Meridian. She first appeared inThe Saffron Con.

History

Lilian debuted inThe Saffron Con, where she was seen testing the lighting equipment of theSaffron CityContest Hall. She commanded herEspeon to display itsmoves to make sure the stage lights were working properly. The performance was watched byAsh andhis friends, who were visiting the Saffron Hall soMay could have a look at the stage. May initially mistook her forVivian, but she revealed that she is actually Vivian's younger sister, and that people often confuse the two of them.

Later, Lilian witnessed May and herSquirtle sendingJames andMeowth blasting off after their attempt to steal thePokémon belonging to theCoordinators who were entering the Saffron Contest. The next day she encountered May in the lobby of the Saffron Hall and, upon noticing that she was sad, asked her what had happened. After hearing that May had been misinformed about using herHoennContest Pass in theKantoregion and the registration deadline, Lilian asked the clerk in the registration desk to issue May a KantoContest Pass and to accept her entry as there would be no Pokémon Contest if it were not for May rescuing the participants' Pokémon.

InA Hurdle for Squirtle, during theBattle Stage of the Saffron Contest, Lilian issued bothJessebella and Harley ayellow card as neither of them was giving commands to their Pokémon. This subtracted half the points from both Coordinators' scores and set the battle in motion, as Harley subsequently asked hisAriados to useString Shot onJessebella's Wobbuffet.

Following May's loss to Harley in the final round of theWisteria Contest inHarley Rides Again, Lilian informed her that a Pokémon Contest was scheduled to take place onChrysanthemum Island. She also handed May an unsigned letter fromBrianna.

While hosting theKanto Grand Festival, which was held atIndigo Plateau and took place fromMay, We Harley Drew'd Ya! toChanneling the Battle Zone!, Lilian had the help of a reporter named Jessadia, actuallyTeam Rocket's Jessiein disguise. During the competition, Lilian was able to interact with her sister Vivian, who had been invited to join thepanel of judges as a special guest judge.

Character

Lilian is the younger sister ofVivian, themaster of ceremonies ofHoennPokémon Contests. Although the two look very similar and share the same occupation, they are drastically different in terms of personality. While Vivian is classy and graceful, Lilian has a bubbly and cheerful personality. According to Lilian, even if they dress so differently from each other, they are still mistaken for one another.

Lilian is responsible for hosting all of the Kanto Pokémon Contests sanctioned by thePokémon Activities Committee and theKanto Grand Festival as well. As such, she has appeared in a number ofepisodes with Contests during the latter part ofPokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. Lilian's style as an announcer is similar to that of asportscaster and her catchphrase is"Let's get busy!" in the Englishdub and"Here we go!" in the original Japanese version, which she will say when kicking off thePerformance Stage and each battle in theBattle Stage.
