====Pokémon Black and White====
=====Anthea=====
:''"I am Anthea... {{player|Trainer}}. Before you go to confront my lord [[N]], please take a moment to rest..."''
 
:''"Ah, good. Both you and your Pokémon regained energy... {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battle to practice their skills and to grow in experience, but never to hurt their Pokémon. My lord N has realized this, deep down in his heart...but he has spent too much painful time here in [[N's Castle|this castle]] to admit it..."''
 
=====Concordia=====
:''"I am Concordia. I give peace and comfort to N. N has been separated from people since he was young. He was brought up with Pokémon... Pokémon that were betrayed, mistreated and hurt by bad people... [[Ghetsis]] deliberately brought only those poor Pokémon closer to N. N was touched by their plight, and started pursuing ideals{{sup/5|B}}/the truth{{sup/5|W}}, thinking only of Pokémon. N's heart is pure and innocent. But there is nothing more beautiful and terrifying than innocence."''
 
====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
=====Anthea=====
:''"[[Team Plasma]] is an organization created by a man named [[Ghetsis]] to help him take over the Unova region. The one he groomed to help him further his nefarious aims was [[N]]. N was a strange boy who was called the child of the Pokémon."''
 
:''"I wonder if N understands now. Trainers battle with Pokémon not to hurt them, but so Trainers and Pokémon can understand one another better! It's the simplest way for them to do this. The more serious the battle, the more the true nature of Pokémon and people becomes apparent!"''
 
=====Concordia=====
:''"N was an orphan. I heard that right after he was born, he upset people with behavior that suggested he could talk to Pokémon. When he was living in the woods with {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Zorua}}, Ghetsis took him in. We are also orphans Ghetsis took in. Our task was to take care of N."''
 
:''"I don't understand N's pure and innocent feelings. But I will be very happy if he figured out what he wants to do on his own during his travels with the legendary Pokémon."''

Anthea and Concordia debuted at the end of ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', where they rescued {{an|N}} after he was injured fighting [[Colress]] and Team Plasma in a city. With {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in tow, they took N to their secret refuge in another dimension where they protect injured Pokémon.
Anthea and Concordia are N's allies, with similar abilities for hearing the voices of Pokémon.

With {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in tow, they took N to their secret refuge in another dimension where they protect injured Pokémon.


Anthea and Concordia also appeared in [[BW118|the next episode]], where they and N told Ash and company about their past with [[Team Plasma]] and [[Ghetsis]]. When several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s found their way into the secret dimension, Ash and his friends battled against the Grunts, and managed to subdue them. After this, N joined his foster sisters, and disappeared into the mist. When the mist faded, N, Anthea, and Concordia were gone, and Ash and his friends found themselves on a wide field, where they saw the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], towering a little distance away.
Anthea and Concordia also appeared in [[BW118|the next episode]], where they and N told Ash and company about their past with [[Team Plasma]] and [[Ghetsis]]. With N, they explained that the three of them were raised in a great mansion by Ghetsis and Team Plasma. However, when {{p|Reshiram}} destroyed the mansion during a ceremony two years prior, they realized Ghetsis was lying to them and helped N escape. Because of these experiences and Ghetsis's training, Anthea and Concordia were deeply distrustful of humans and even initially believed that Ash and his friends led Team Plasma to their hideaway. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} defeated the Team Plasma members, who had found their way into the dimension using a special machine, causing Anthea and Concordia to have second thoughts about them. After this, N joined his foster sisters, and disappeared into the mist. When the mist faded, N, Anthea, and Concordia were gone, and Ash and his friends found themselves on a wide field, where they saw the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] a short distance away.


They were briefly seen at the beginning of ''[[BW119| Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'' and in N's fantasy in [[BW120]].

Anthea and Concordia made another appearance in [[BW122]], where they came to the [[White Ruins]] to aid N in the fight against Ghetsis and Team Plasma. However, despite providing a distraction for N to free himself, [[Colress]] used his machine to control their Pokémon, luckily they were freed among the other controlled Pokémon when {{p|Reshiram}} destroyed the machine.  
Anthea and Concordia made another appearance in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where they came to the {{an|White Ruins}} to aid N in the fight against Ghetsis and Team Plasma. After providing a distraction for N to free himself, they begged him to return with them, declaring that his heart had been "stained". After N refused and explained the situation, Anthea and Concordia agreed to help him fight Team Plasma - unfortunately, [[Colress]] used his machine to take control of their Pokémon. Anthea and Concordia were apprehended by the Team Plasma Grunts, but managed to escape with N when Reshiram was awakened. They watched Ash and the others attempt to destroy the device, with N explaining how the strong bond between Ash and his Pokémon allows them to overcome any obstacle. After Team Plasma was defeated and Reshiram calmed, Anthea and Concordia were finally able to realize that not all people were cruel to Pokémon, enabling them to move on from their past. At N's request, they joined him in his travels, seeking to achieve their dream of a world where humans and Pokémon could live together in harmony.
 
They are N's allies and have similar abilities for hearing the voices of Pokémon.

Anthea and Concordia appear in the {{chap|Black & White}} of Pokémon Adventures. They are first seen in a flashback during [[N]]'s battle against {{adv|Black}}, in which they are seen accompanying him while he walks to his coronation.
Anthea and Concordia appear as members of Team Plasma in the {{chap|Black & White}}. Three years prior to the start of the chapter, they were tasked with raising N, bringing him up to become the man he is in the present. They are first seen in a flashback during [[N]]'s battle against {{adv|Black}}, in which they are seen accompanying him while he walks to his coronation. After N awakens {{p|Zekrom}} from the [[Dragon Stones|Dark Stone]], Anthea and Concordia watch as N attempts to befriend Zekrom and have it join Team Plasma's cause. They are horrified when N is violently attacked by Zekrom.


It is later revealed that Anthea and Concordia were introduced to the [[Seven Sages]] three years before, when [[Ghetsis]] shows them in N's room, while he explains to the other sages his plan to make N the king of Team Plasma. It seems that their task in this plan was to keep N's innocence, bringing him up to be what he is now.
At the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, Team Plasma enacts its plan and summons N's Castle from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Anthea and Concordia accompany N and he watches the chaos unfold. As N and Black battle each other, Anthea and Concordia remain in N's room, where {{adv|White}} is {{m|Teleport}}ed to after [[Colress|Hood Man]] foiled her attempt to rat out Team Plasma's infiltration on the League. Although White is startled to learn that they are N's caretakers, Anthea and Concordia assure her that they are not hostile. They tell White about N's past and how he was found by Ghetsis as a child. They reveal that N had slowly changed over the course of his meetings with Black and White, and that he released his Pokémon except for Zekrom. Hearing about N's sad past brings White to tears, and she and [[Gigi]] set off to meet up with Black again.
 
After Team Plasma's defeat, several Grunts that escaped capture prepare to go into hiding under the cover of night. When one of the Grunts, [[Whi-Two]], asks if they can take the Pokémon liberated by N with them, her mother tells her that they can't. Anthea decides to allow the girl to take a {{p|Foongus}} with her, as it was the one she had bonded with the most. Concordia also gives Whi-Two a locket containing a photo of N.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Anthea and Concordia are seen in the original Team Plasma's safehouse in Driftveil City.

Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

Anthea
"I am Anthea... Trainer. Before you go to confront my lord N, please take a moment to rest..."
"Ah, good. Both you and your Pokémon regained energy... Trainers battle to practice their skills and to grow in experience, but never to hurt their Pokémon. My lord N has realized this, deep down in his heart...but he has spent too much painful time here in this castle to admit it..."
Concordia
"I am Concordia. I give peace and comfort to N. N has been separated from people since he was young. He was brought up with Pokémon... Pokémon that were betrayed, mistreated and hurt by bad people... Ghetsis deliberately brought only those poor Pokémon closer to N. N was touched by their plight, and started pursuing idealsB/the truthW, thinking only of Pokémon. N's heart is pure and innocent. But there is nothing more beautiful and terrifying than innocence."

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Anthea
"Team Plasma is an organization created by a man named Ghetsis to help him take over the Unova region. The one he groomed to help him further his nefarious aims was N. N was a strange boy who was called the child of the Pokémon."
"I wonder if N understands now. Trainers battle with Pokémon not to hurt them, but so Trainers and Pokémon can understand one another better! It's the simplest way for them to do this. The more serious the battle, the more the true nature of Pokémon and people becomes apparent!"
Concordia
"N was an orphan. I heard that right after he was born, he upset people with behavior that suggested he could talk to Pokémon. When he was living in the woods with Darmanitan and Zorua, Ghetsis took him in. We are also orphans Ghetsis took in. Our task was to take care of N."
"I don't understand N's pure and innocent feelings. But I will be very happy if he figured out what he wants to do on his own during his travels with the legendary Pokémon."

In the anime

Concordia and Anthea in the anime

Anthea and Concordia are N's allies, with similar abilities for hearing the voices of Pokémon. They debuted at the end of Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, where they rescued N after he was injured fighting Colress and Team Plasma in a city. With Ash and his friends in tow, they took N to their secret refuge in another dimension where they protect injured Pokémon.

Anthea and Concordia also appeared in the next episode, where they and N told Ash and company about their past with Team Plasma and Ghetsis. With N, they explained that the three of them were raised in a great mansion by Ghetsis and Team Plasma. However, when Reshiram destroyed the mansion during a ceremony two years prior, they realized Ghetsis was lying to them and helped N escape. Because of these experiences and Ghetsis's training, Anthea and Concordia were deeply distrustful of humans and even initially believed that Ash and his friends led Team Plasma to their hideaway. Ash, Iris and Cilan defeated the Team Plasma members, who had found their way into the dimension using a special machine, causing Anthea and Concordia to have second thoughts about them. After this, N joined his foster sisters, and disappeared into the mist. When the mist faded, N, Anthea, and Concordia were gone, and Ash and his friends found themselves on a wide field, where they saw the Dragonspiral Tower a short distance away.

They were briefly seen at the beginning of Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry! and in N's fantasy in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!.

Anthea and Concordia made another appearance in What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, where they came to the White Ruins to aid N in the fight against Ghetsis and Team Plasma. After providing a distraction for N to free himself, they begged him to return with them, declaring that his heart had been "stained". After N refused and explained the situation, Anthea and Concordia agreed to help him fight Team Plasma - unfortunately, Colress used his machine to take control of their Pokémon. Anthea and Concordia were apprehended by the Team Plasma Grunts, but managed to escape with N when Reshiram was awakened. They watched Ash and the others attempt to destroy the device, with N explaining how the strong bond between Ash and his Pokémon allows them to overcome any obstacle. After Team Plasma was defeated and Reshiram calmed, Anthea and Concordia were finally able to realize that not all people were cruel to Pokémon, enabling them to move on from their past. At N's request, they joined him in his travels, seeking to achieve their dream of a world where humans and Pokémon could live together in harmony.

Anthea and Concordia in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Anthea and Concordia appear as members of Team Plasma in the Black & White arc. Three years prior to the start of the chapter, they were tasked with raising N, bringing him up to become the man he is in the present. They are first seen in a flashback during N's battle against Black, in which they are seen accompanying him while he walks to his coronation. After N awakens Zekrom from the Dark Stone, Anthea and Concordia watch as N attempts to befriend Zekrom and have it join Team Plasma's cause. They are horrified when N is violently attacked by Zekrom.

At the Pokémon League, Team Plasma enacts its plan and summons N's Castle from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Anthea and Concordia accompany N and he watches the chaos unfold. As N and Black battle each other, Anthea and Concordia remain in N's room, where White is Teleported to after Hood Man foiled her attempt to rat out Team Plasma's infiltration on the League. Although White is startled to learn that they are N's caretakers, Anthea and Concordia assure her that they are not hostile. They tell White about N's past and how he was found by Ghetsis as a child. They reveal that N had slowly changed over the course of his meetings with Black and White, and that he released his Pokémon except for Zekrom. Hearing about N's sad past brings White to tears, and she and Gigi set off to meet up with Black again.

After Team Plasma's defeat, several Grunts that escaped capture prepare to go into hiding under the cover of night. When one of the Grunts, Whi-Two, asks if they can take the Pokémon liberated by N with them, her mother tells her that they can't. Anthea decides to allow the girl to take a Foongus with her, as it was the one she had bonded with the most. Concordia also gives Whi-Two a locket containing a photo of N.
