Teala (Japanese: アオナ Aona) is an NPC character in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. She introduces the player to various communication features.

In the games

In Generation III, she is the attendant on the second floor of Pokémon Centers, and she manages items that players receive via the Mystery Gift function. The first time that a player goes to the second floor of a Pokémon Center, she will explain the Wireless Communication function.

In Generation IV, she is instead located in the Pokémon Center basement and gives the player a Pal Pad the first time they go down there. Teala will also appear to give the player a standard introduction and another Pal Pad if encountered through tweaking. She tells the player how to connect to the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club.

In Generation VIII, she is located in the Pokémon Center basement like in Generation IV and will explain how to access the Pokémon Global Club and the Union Room.

"I'm terribly sorry. The Pokémon Wireless Club is undergoing adjustments now."
  • When entering the second floor of a Pokémon Center for the first time after obtaining the Pokédex
"Hello! My name is Teala. This must be your first time up here. I'll show you how the Wireless Communication System works. First, I need to show you this floor of our Pokémon Center. Right this way, please. On the top floor, there are two rooms. First, the room on the left. It's the Union Room. You may link up with Trainers around you who have also entered the Union Room. With them, you may do things like chat, battle, and trade. Second, the room on the right is the Direct Corner. You may trade or battle Pokémon with your friends in this room. If the Wireless Adapter isn't connected, you may still link up using a GBA Game Link cable. If that is the case, you must go to the Direct Corner. I hope you enjoy the Wireless Communication System."
