Opal is a character appearing in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, who is the Gym Leader of Ballonlea in the Galar region.

Appearance

This section, or a part of it, has been transcluded from Opal; any changes involving it should be made there instead. / 

Opal is old, wrinkled, and has white hair. She is also hunched over, pale-skinned, and has a long, pointy nose, not unlike that of a witch. However, despite her age, Opal still wears makeup, as she puts on purple eyeshadow and red lipstick. Her eyes are also the same blue that they used to be. For clothing, Opal wears a very long pink and green dress, a green and black hat, and white shoes with purple fuzz on them. To complete her outfit, she wears three arm bangles that match her dress, a black and pink glove, and a gigantic poofy purple scarf with three white mothball-like baubles hanging from it. She also carries a pink and green striped umbrella with a poofy purple design that matches her dress and scarf—when she is defeated in battle, she can be seen throwing it in surprise.

Personality

Opal is the one of the oldest Gym Leaders in Galar, maintaining the Ballonlea Gym. She is obsessed with the color pink (in her own terms) and likes to test others through a series of quizzes. She is also implied to be intimidating when upset.

Biography

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Opal encountered Ash and Goh in Ballonlea and challenged them to a series of quizzes. In the process, Opal made them and their Pokémon wear pink clothes for each wrong answer they got. As Chloe reunited with the group, Opal revealed that she had asked the quizzes to keep the boys from recklessly searching for Chloe and let her come to them on her own.

She invited Leon, Raihan, Ash, Goh and Chloe to partake. Raihan only came believing that there would be a Pokémon match and tried to leave when he learned what the tournament was for, but Opal intimidated him into staying by manipulating his pride. She also served as the judge of the tournament, loaning the four (as Goh caught his own Alcremie) additional Alcremie. She remarked on the tastes of the cake that the contestants used and became particularly interested in Ash's, declaring him the winner and challenging him to a match with another Alcremie. During the match, she Gigantamaxed her Alcremie, in which Ash's Pikachu also grew in size after taking a G-Max Finale, much to her delight and surprise. However, it was quickly realized that Pikachu had simply grown fat from the cream, so Opal called off the match.
