Diantha

Diantha in the anime

She debuts in The Bonds of Evolution!, where a battle with Ash is cut short when Team Rocket grabs her Gardevoir, which then Mega Evolves and breaks free. She later battles Ash again in Championing a Research Battle!, the fight where his Greninja's transformation catches her off guard. In Pokémon Journeys she is one of the Masters Eight, beating Lance before facing Leon in the semifinals.
