She first appears when helping the protagonist and Lillie when the pair are searching for a book in the Malie library, to which she offers the book in a cheeky tone.

Her English and Japanese names, Acerola, both come from the "acerola" berry. It may also incorporate 褪せる (aseru, to fade away).
==Biography==
===Sun and Moon===
Acerola is a Trial Captain, who asks of the player character to take a picture of Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, and Totem Mimikyu. Before her trial, she can be met at a motel, where her siblings challenge the player character. Then she comes back right after the girl's Yungoos is stolen and orders to retrieve it.
Paranormal things start happening in the old supermarket and wherever there is one, there's a Pokémon there. Eventually, a door opens and the Totem Mimikyu appears. When defeating it, the player character has to leave the store and talk to Acerola again. She gives the Ghostium Z for completing the trial
Later, Acerola becomes the Elite Four member, who wishes to bring "the old royal touch" to the Pokémon League.
