Argenta is one of the five Frontier Brains of the Battle Frontier used for both Sinnoh (Platinum) and Johto (HeartGold/SoulSilver). She holds the title of Hall Matron and runs the Battle Hall.
Background
Pokémon Roster
Argenta believed in the value of a trainer's one favorite Pokémon, as the Battle Hall was designed for challengers to use only one Pokémon in a series of battles while going down a catwalk. She understood the tension involved, but she also understood that one was at their best after overcoming a challenge, and she considered herself to be the greatest challenge of all for trainers.
She was battled after winning 50 and 170 consecutive battles at the Battle Hall. After being beaten the first time, she detested how quickly fun times had to end and talked about how she believed that a good trainer kept their favorite without being arrogant and forcing it one others. She gave the player a silver print and asked them to come again with a favorite Pokémon. In the second battle, Argenta noted the challenger's Pokémon's charisma coming from its Pokéball but decided she would still have to fight the challenger in order to see if that brilliance was real. After being defeated this time, she lamented the brevity of fun once more and asked the challenger not to forget that there is a place where everyone and every kind of Pokémon can shine. Argenta urged the challenger to spread this message and gave them a gold print as the reward.
