League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Bea's League Cards in Pokémon 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 in battle. 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..."

Pokémon

Bea keeps her Pokémon in Ultra Balls.

Stow-on-Side Stadium

"Welcome, Gym Challenger. I’m Bea."

"Do you have an unshakable spirit that won’t be moved, no matter how you are attacked? I think I’ll just test that out, shall I?"

• Upon sending out final Pokémon

"It’s time to dig in our heels! I’m not giving up, so neither should you!"

• Upon activating Gigantamax

"Argh! Fine then, let’s just destroy everything! Your skill is worthy of respect—and Gigantamaxing!"

• Upon using G-Max Chi Strike

"G-Max Chi Strike! I’ll use karate along with my Pokémon’s move!"

• Upon being defeated

"I felt the fighting spirit of your Pokémon as you led it/them in battle."

• After being defeated

"Thank you for the battle."

"Phew... Facing you gave me all the explanation I needed."

"Battling against you and your team... I hadn’t expected it, but it made my heart dance. It’s good to be unshakable in the face of battle. But it’s good to be moved by battle, as well."

"Thank you again. Take the Fighting Badge."

"I hope that you’ll meet many more Trainers and have many more matches in the future. And I hope that every one of those encounters will nourish your spirit."
