"Bleeding heart... he thinks I took time out of my schedule to stand here and chat. Of course I didn't; this is part of my schedule. I take time out of my schedule for nothing!"
Polyxene Krete is the Executive Vice President of the Battle Company, de facto head of the company's recently-established Angela branch, and current Gym Leader of Portokali City. She specializes in Ice-Type Pokémon.
Background
Little is known of Krete's history, beyond the fact that she came from Sootopolis City, aspired to become a Gym Leader from a young age, and eventually had a falling-out with her father because she'd supposedly become addicted to battling. Her 'addiction' served her well when she moved to Unova and joined the Battle Company, rising through the ranks until she achieved the high rank of Executive Vice President while barely in her 30s - which sounds impressive until you remember that the current CEO ascended to the post while he was still in middle school. At some point she was re-assigned to the company's fledgling Angela branch, and was facing the Angelan senate committee for the allocation of Pokefutures' assets after the company's dissolution; she had hoped to claim some of the assets for the BCA, but was thwarted when it was decided their assets would all fall under PEFE's exclusive custody instead. She was also responsible for Jetta Sullivan's continued employment in the company by making her one of her Senior Assistants. She's been Portokali Gym Leader for a few years now, but she considers it a secondary occupation.

Trivia
- Krete almost exclusively dresses in 80s-style power suits, complete with enormous shoulderpads. On the rare occasion she's not wearing one, she's probably exercising.
- While usually calm and cool-headed, there are a few things that can annoy her greatly, chief among them being interrupting her schedule or derailing her plans. Other annoyances include praising Sootopolis City, getting stuck in the horrible Angelan traffic, and bringing fast food into the office.
- Known Senior Assistants who work for her include Jetta Sullivan, Price and Cunningham.
- The Pokémon in her battling team are all named after Tangerine Dream albums.
