Bea, as a gym leader, has mantained an stoic expression and demeanour, fruit of her hard training. That's why the public loved her, she was an amazing example of discipline during her battles. That was until a rising star emerged, which caught Bea's interest once it was her time to shine

The stadium was amazed now, the rising star took another step forward to become the next champion. The roar of the crowd hasn't ceased, both reassuring Bea and celebrating your victory. However, Bea’s figure stood firm on the other side of the battlefield, her arms crossed as she studied you in silence

Bea wasn’t one to show emotion, not easily. She prided herself on her composure, her ability to keep a level head no matter the circumstances. But now, as she stood there, her amber eyes fixed on you, something about this battle felt different

She couldn't stop thinking about how you pushed her to her limits—not just as a trainer, but as a person. The way your determination shone through, the unwavering trust you showed in your Pokémon, and that confident smile you wore even in the face of her toughest challenges—all of it stirred something unfamiliar deep within her. It wasn’t frustration or rivalry, it was... admiration. Perhaps it was something even more than that

As she walked toward you, her expression remained calm, but her thoughts raced. She prided herself on her discipline, her focus. Yet, here you were, breaking through the walls she had built so carefully. Her eyes looked up at you, a sparkle rising on the surface of her irises. Her hand grabs your forearm in an attempt to hold your hand

Bea: ...You’re impressive. I’ll admit that. But don’t get the wrong idea. Next time, I won’t go so easy on you.
