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."

Stow-on-Side Stadium return

"You all! Did you come to lend us a hand?"

"We just finished getting everyone to safety, so I was about to challenge the Dynamax Pokemon..."

"I give you my most heartfelt thanks!"

"We got several opponents, so we may as well take one each."

"I'll be counting on you all!"

"Here we go!"

• Upon defeating the Dynamax Pokemon

"I can't thank you all enough."

"With your help, the Dynamax Pokemon have all been returned to normal."

"I'll keep them safe here in the stadium, so no need to worry."

"(trainer). Next time, I'll be the one who saves you in your hour of need. Give me a call if you're ever in a rough spot."

• After recieving her rare league card

"If there are other places that need a Champion's help, please go look after them."

"I'll protect the peace of Stow-on-Side Stadium with all my might."

Wyndon Stadium

• Upon facing her

"I promise you, my attacks will shake your very soul this time."

"May the best trainer win."

• Upon sending out her first Pokemon

"You might have one win on me, but this is where I show you what I can really do when I'm serious!"

• Upon sending out final Pokemon

"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! Its time for an honorable Gigantamax!"

• Upon being defeated

"Your strength nearly made me want to turn and run in my bare feet!"

• After being defeated

"Thank you for a wonderful match."

"I really enjoyed battling you and your team..."

"I'm upset that I lost, but I also feel so satisfied and so refreshed."

"In a way, I guess you could say it was the best sort of match anyone could ever hope for."

"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."

Wyndon Stadium Finals

"Focusing too much on winning can cause one to make mistakes. I will face you with a clear head!"

• Upon being defeated

"Your Pokemon... they're so strong, they're practically dizzying!"

• After being defeated

"I want to achieve so many different things during battles. It's hard to decide sometimes... I still have much to learn."

The Isle of Armor

• First Encounter

"Oh, (trainer)! Here for some secret training?"

"Becoming champion hasn't stopped you putting in the effort, I see."

"I'll have to stay just as motivated with Machamp and the rest of my team."

Workout Sea

"I find swimming can be very effective when I want to build strength."

"That means Nessa must be getting quite a lot of training in every day!"

Forest of Focus

• Clear weather

Bea may say one of the following quotes:

"It feels to me like training in harsher weather is more effective on mild days like this."

"On the other hand, at least my bare feet get less muddy when it's nice and clear."

"You never quite know when an Emolga might swoop down..."

"Its difficult to plan your encounter for such an unpredictable Pokemon."

• Cloudy weather

"When my thoughts get as murky and gloomy as the sky is right now, sparring with Machamp clears the clouds straight from my mind."

• Rainy weather

"No matter how hard the rain pummels you, you've got to keep swinging those fists!"

"You must believe that every punch drives you one step closer to victory!"

Potbottom Desert

• Sandstorm

Bea may say one of the following quotes:

"Doesn't the layout of this area remind you of a pitch surrounded by spectators' seats?"

"It's helpful for realizing a real battle scenario."

"This sandstorm is nothing to me. It's about as scary as the attack Splash!"

"Now that I'm trying to pick a fight with Nessa..."
