'''Elesa''' is Gym Leader of [[Nimbasa City]]'s gym of the [[Unova]] region. This gym will be the fourth to be challenged by the player character. She specializes in using {{Type|Electric}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (creature)|Pokémon]]. She will award the player character the [[Badge|Bolt Badge]] if defeated. Her first appearance was in [[Pokémon Black and White]].
−
==Appearance==
  
−
Elesa has blue eyes and blonde ear-length hair. In Black & White, she wears red white and blue headphones with long cords on the sides, a yellowjacket that connects at the bottom, an unusual black top that exposes her belly in two places, tight black pants, and yellow high heels.
  
   
  +
Like the rest of the Unova gym leaders, Elesa has a career outside of being a gym leader, in which she is a supermodel.
−
In Black 2 & White 2, Elesa has new headphones, black hair, and a new outfit. She now wears a blue and yellow top and matching shorts, with a large, fluffy yellow coat, and slippers, one red and one blue. Her entire stomach is exposed, save for a white hexagonal piece that connects the top and shorts and seems to serve the purpose of drawing attention to her navel. Her legs are also completely exposed from the top of her thighs to her feet.

In the games, after the player exits the Pokémon Musical for the first time, Bianca's father confronts her and tells her to go home with him. However, Elesa steps in and convinces Bianca's father to let Bianca continue her journey. This makes Bianca admire Elesa and makes her want to be a model just like her. She then tells the player she's waiting in the gym for him/her. After defeating her, she goes out to [[Unova Route 5|Route 5]] and contacts [[Clay]], telling him to bring the Drawbridge down. When it does come down, she wishes the player good luck and returns to the gym.

  +
<section begin="Appearance_B2W2"/>Elesa has short black hair, with long extensions tied in two diamond patterned braids. She wears a blue and yellow two piece, made up of a crop top and very short shorts, with a large, fluffy yellow coat, and ballet flats, one red and one blue. Her top and shorts are connected by a hexagon shaped buckle. Elesa also wears new headphones, with cone shaped spikes protruding out of the ear pieces, with the right spike red and the left spike blue. In addition, she wears nail polish, red on her right hand, and blue on her left.<section end="Appearance_B2W2"/>
   
  +
==Personality==
−
In Black/White 2, she has changed looks, dying her hair black and wearing more revealing outfit. Her Gym is themed after a catwalk. Through the [[Unova Link#Memory Link|Memory Link]] it is revealed she's good friends with [[Skyla]] and wanted to practice making jokes, in a way to break the image of a serious person that everybody believes her to be, which upsets her. She throws bad puns which Skyla points out, but Elesa says that by doing so, people will poke fun at her and allow a new approach. Skyla thinks such way is old fashioned and should take it with ease. The two then agree to have a Pokemon Battle and Elesa asks Skyla to not call her "Shirley", hinting it to be her true name (and referencing the movie "Airplane!" in the process).
  
  +
Elesa is initially portrayed to be a very calm and stoic character. However, she is self-conscious about people's perceptions of her, and believes that others probably do not think she is a fun-loving person due to her stunningly good looks. Much like the other Gym Leaders of her type, Elesa prefers to show off her skills with a sense of style and a performance to accompany it.
   
  +
Additionally, Elesa has a fondness for bad puns. This is capitalized on in Pokémon Masters, where she makes a variety of Pokémon based puns.

Her Japanese name, Kamitsure, comes from 雷 (''kaminari'', thunder). It could also literally be ''kamitsure'', the Japanese name of the scented mayweed, following the Japanese naming of most characters.<section end="Etymology"/>

==Biography==
  +
===Black and White===
  +
After the player exits the Pokémon Musical for the first time, Bianca's father confronts her and tells her to go home with him. However, Elesa steps in and convinces Bianca's father to let Bianca continue her journey. This makes Bianca admire Elesa and makes her want to be a model just like her.

===Pokémon: Best Wishes===
  
−
[[File:Elesa anime2.png|Elesa volunteering to be a judge|thumb|left|150px]]The gang meets Elesa in the Nimbasa Amusement Park in [[BW051: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]. She has a fondness for Electric-type Pokémon, like Ash's Pikachu. She is also a fashion model, surrounded by an entourage of fans. For a supermodel, she also happens to be wise, as shown when she was settling an argument between Bianca and her dad. She not only suggested that Ash battle him, but also volunteered to be the judge of their battle. She has also proven to be a tough battler, giving Bianca a run for her money with just her Zebstrika.
  
   
  +
For the rest of the game, she can be found in her gym.
−
Ash was much tougher than Bianca was in his Gym Battle with Elesa in [[BW052: Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]], managing to knock out her Zebstrika with his Palpitoad. However, her Emolga was more than a match for him and Snivy, but not Pikachu. Her toughest Pokémon Tynamo was her last hope, but not even it was a match for Pikachu, which gave Ash the win and his fourth badge.
  
   
  +
===Black 2 and White 2===
−
Elesa reappeared in flashbacks in [[BW071]]. Though Cilan tried his best to cosplay as her it wasn't good enough for Mile to give him a passing grade.

She has changed looks, dying her hair black and wearing more revealing outfit. Her Gym is themed after a catwalk. Through the [[Unova Link#Memory Link|Memory Link]] it is revealed she's good friends with [[Skyla]] and wanted to practice making jokes, in a way to break the image of a serious person that everybody believes her to be, which upsets her.

She reappeared in a Flashback in [[BW088]] when she was shown in various outfits.

Latest revision as of 14:53, 15 November 2023

Elesa is Gym Leader of Nimbasa City's gym of the Unova region. This gym will be the fourth to be challenged by the player character. She specializes in using Electric-type Pokémon. She will award the player character the Bolt Badge if defeated. Her first appearance was in Pokémon Black and White.

Like the rest of the Unova gym leaders, Elesa has a career outside of being a gym leader, in which she is a supermodel.

Appearance

Elesa is a tall, very slender young woman. She has bright, almond shaped blue eyes.

Black and White

Elesa has short blonde hair. She wears red, white, and blue headphones with long cords on the sides. Elesa wears a yellow sleeveless top over a black top that exposes her stomach in two sections, thick opaque black tights, and bright yellow stiletto high heels.

Elesa has short black hair, with long extensions tied in two diamond patterned braids. She wears a blue and yellow two piece, made up of a crop top and very short shorts, with a large, fluffy yellow coat, and ballet flats, one red and one blue. Her top and shorts are connected by a hexagon shaped buckle. Elesa also wears new headphones, with cone shaped spikes protruding out of the ear pieces, with the right spike red and the left spike blue. In addition, she wears nail polish, red on her right hand, and blue on her left.

Personality

Elesa is initially portrayed to be a very calm and stoic character. However, she is self-conscious about people's perceptions of her, and believes that others probably do not think she is a fun-loving person due to her stunningly good looks. Much like the other Gym Leaders of her type, Elesa prefers to show off her skills with a sense of style and a performance to accompany it.

Additionally, Elesa has a fondness for bad puns. This is capitalized on in Pokémon Masters, where she makes a variety of Pokémon based puns.

Etymology

The name Elesa derives from "electric" and possibly "laser" or "tesla", a unit of magnetic induction.

Her Japanese name, Kamitsure, comes from 雷 (kaminari, thunder). It could also literally be kamitsure, the Japanese name of the scented mayweed, following the Japanese naming of most characters.

Biography

Black and White

After the player exits the Pokémon Musical for the first time, Bianca's father confronts her and tells her to go home with him. However, Elesa steps in and convinces Bianca's father to let Bianca continue her journey. This makes Bianca admire Elesa and makes her want to be a model just like her. She then tells the player she's waiting in the gym for him/her. After defeating her, she goes out to Route 5 and contacts Clay, telling him to bring the Drawbridge down. When it does come down, she wishes the player good luck and returns to the gym.

She next appears along with the rest of the Unova Gym Leaders, with the exception of Cilan, Chili, and Cress, and battles the Seven Sages, allowing the player to continue.

For the rest of the game, she can be found in her gym.

Black 2 and White 2

She has changed looks, dying her hair black and wearing more revealing outfit. Her Gym is themed after a catwalk. Through the Memory Link it is revealed she's good friends with Skyla and wanted to practice making jokes, in a way to break the image of a serious person that everybody believes her to be, which upsets her. She throws bad puns which Skyla points out, but Elesa says that by doing so, people will poke fun at her and allow a new approach. Skyla thinks such way is old fashioned and should take it with ease. The two then agree to have a Pokémon Battle and Elesa asks Skyla to not call her "Shirley", hinting it to be her true name (and referencing the movie "Airplane!" in the process).
