The blonde girl is Lillie, Kukui's assistant. She's quite mysterious actually because she has a dislike towards Pokemon battles.

She also bears a resemblance to one of the Ultra Beasts, whose description states that it likes mimicking a young girl.

As Dark said, the resemblance is also there between the Aether Foundation leader, Lusamine and UB-02 (Beauty).

According to an interview, the Black and White anime was meant to be a reboot of the series and as such, Cilan and Iris were meant to resemble Brock and Misty in personality. However, that didn't go over so well with the audience. The direction they're taking the anime in will be risky.
