| ~ Malva giving the news about the raid on the Poké Ball Factory |
Malva (Japanese: パキラ Pachira) is a Master Fire-type Trainer and member of the Kalos Elite Four and formerly Team Flare.
She was voiced by Akeno Watanabe in the anime series and video games, and Marina Inoue in Pokémon Generations in Japanese and Samara Nayemi in the anime series, Kira Buckland in Pokémon Generations, and Marissa Lenti in Pokémon Evolutions in English.
Description[]
Malva is a news reporter and a self-proclaimed Holo Caster star. She is also a former member of Team Flare, where she seems to be at least Admin-ranked, and rigorously defends their actions. She has a bad temper and expresses hatred for Calem/Serena, talking down on the defeat of Team Flare, and even threatening to kill him/her.
History[]
Pokémon X and Y[]
Malva is first seen in the game announcing a news bulletin at the Poké Ball Factory, discussing Team Flare's invasion of the factory without giving away their names.
After the player character defeats the Elite Four, Malva forces the player to fight her at the hotel in Lumiose City. Once she is defeated, she reveals that she had left Team Flare because she disagreed with Xerosic about creating the Expansion Suit and its use on a child. Malva agrees to help and then directs the player to where Xerosic is hiding so he can be turned in.
Despite Malva's involvement with Team Flare, there is no indication that Diantha or the other Elite Four members were aware that she was a member.

Trivia[]
- Malva is the first member of the Elite Four to be a member of a villainous team in the games.
- She is also the first character, who is not a villainous team leader, to threaten the player with death.
