Maria

This article is about a character featured in the Pokémon anime who has not yet debuted in the English language dub. As such, their information may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.

(Japanese: ミコト Mikoto) is a recurring character from the anime. She is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō in Japanese. She is the guardian of the Snowpoint Temple.

She first appeared in DP128 where she welcomed Brandon right after his arrival. She and Samuel left to investigate the Snowpoint Temple and then later warns Brandon that Pokémon Hunter J has attacked the Temple. Mikoto and Brandon asked her not to disturb Regigigas, which resides in the Temple, but J ignored their warnings, causing damage to the Temple.

After Regirock, Registeel, Regice, and Brandon were all turned to stone by J in order to protect Regigigas, Mikoto begged it to restore them to their original forms. It granted her wish and she thanked it.
