History

Past

When Elesa was a child, she went to visit her grandmother. On her way, she and her Blitzle encountered a Pokémon. Her grandmother stated she had encountered a Thundurus, who was a Legendary Pokémon of Unova, alongside Tornadus. While Elesa had been planning on becoming the Electric-type expert, she was also interested in capturing Thundrus. Eventually, Elesa became a famous model of Nimbasa City, and the Gym Leader.

Hilbert Black researched that Elesa was a Gym Leader that he'd have to defeat on his way, to participate in the Pokémon League. Virizion, Terrakion and Cobalion - the three Sacred Swords - traveled across the Unova region, and saw that the Gym Leaders had a strong bond with their Pokémon.
