Bea (Japanese: サイトウ Saitō) is a martial artist who is the Gym Leader of Stow-on-Side's Gym, known officially as Stow-on-Side Stadium. She specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon. She gives the Fighting Badge to Trainers who defeat her. In Pokémon Shield, Allister takes her place as Stow-on-Side's Gym Leader instead.

In the core series games

Bea is the fourth Gym Leader Galarian Trainers face in their Gym Challenge in Pokémon Sword. Like most of the other Gym Leaders, she's initially introduced during the Gym Challenge opening ceremony at the Motostoke Stadium. She can later be encountered and battled at her Gym. She also serves as the player's second opponent in the Champion Cup Finals.

Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherited the centuries-old traditions and techniques from her parents.^[5] She is also an expert on Fighting-type Pokémon. From a young age, Bea rigorously trained with her Pokémon under the watchful and strict eye of her parents. As a result, she developed a stoic personality that perseveres even during dire situations in Pokémon battles. She tries her best to go all out, even when defeat seems imminent. Many believe she has lost the ability to experience emotions, but truthfully, she doesn't want to show any weakness. In battle, though, Bea will sometimes reveal her true feelings to the partner Pokémon she knows and trusts. She also has a secret love of various sweets. However, she has a hard time enjoying them due to the attention from her fans.

After Bea's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the Fighting Badge, TM42 (Revenge), and the Fighting Uniform.

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..."

Bea in the anime

Bea made her main series debut in Solitary and Menacing!. She first battled the Karate Master at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City and won. Soon after, she was challenged to a World Coronation Series battle by Ash and had a two-on-two battle with him. She used her Hawlucha and Grapploct to battle Farfetch'd and Riolu and emerged victorious without losing a single Pokémon, causing her rank to go up.

Bea reappeared in a flashback in Making Battles in the Sand!.

Bea reappeared in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!, where she was training at the Cianwood Gym with Chuck when she received a challenge to a rematch from Ash. Bea accepted, using her Hitmontop and Grapploct to battle Pikachu and Riolu. The battle ended with a draw.

A silhouette of Bea along with her Grapploct was revealed at the end of Thrash of the Titans!, revealing that she had advanced to the Ultra Class of the World Coronation Series.

She made a cameo appearance at the end of Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start! while watching Ash’s World Coronation Series match against Volkner. During this appearance, she was revealed to possess a Dynamax Band.

In An Adventure of Mega Proportions!, Ash was informed that Bea would be his next Ultra Class opponent.

Bea reappeared in Battle Three With Bea!. She was shown training with her Pokémon in preparation of her third battle with Ash. After introducing each other to their Pokémon, Ash and Bea enjoyed some sweets with Korrina and Goh. The next day, the two began their battle, with Leon arriving to spectate and provide commentary. Her battle continued in the next episode, where she was defeated by Ash's Mega Lucario despite Gigantamaxing her Machamp, causing her rank to go down. Later that evening, Bea congratulated Ash on his victory, finally referring to him by his actual name.

Bea reappeared in The Winding Path to Greatness!, where she was seen leaving Stow-on-Side Stadium with Machamp as Ash, Goh, and Allister were arriving to try Gigantamaxing Gengar. The next day, she returned to the stadium in time to witness Ash successfully Gigantamax Gengar after it had eaten Max Soup. Impressed by the sight, Bea remarked to Allister that it was rare for him to be helping others.

In Toying With Your Motions!, Bea watched Ash's match against Leon alongside Korrina and Gurkinn.

In This Could be the Start of Something Big!, Bea was shown having a training battle against Hop, using Machamp to battle his Wooloo while Leon observed the match.

Character

Bea has a strong personality, and she hates losing. Through the strict training she endured from a very young age, Bea has developed discipline and a strong work ethic in both karate and Pokémon battles. She is also willing to push herself to the extreme in the name of self-betterment and improvement and expects the same of her Pokémon, but isn't above admitting she went too far if necessary. She has a soft spot for sweets and, though concealing her emotions during matches, feels strongly about many things and is known to show a more open side to her partner Pokémon.

In Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!, Grapploct battled Chuck's Poliwrath before Ash arrived to have a rematch against Bea. It was the second Pokémon Bea used after Hitmontop lost to Pikachu. Grapploct was able to defeat Pikachu before battling Riolu, with the match coming to a draw. In Battle Three With Bea!, Grapploct was the first Pokémon Bea used in her second rematch with Ash.
