===Black & White arc===
Marlon participated in the Unova Pokémon League, battling trainers to reach the quarterfinals.B&W052: Hallway Hijinks Per the rules of the quarterfinals, Marlon entered a capsule. He was scheduled to battle the Hood Man.B&W053: Into the Quarterfinals! During the third round, Marlon and Hood Man confronted each other in battle. Marlon suspected the Hood Man was strong, and sent Jellicent to battle his Beheeyem. Marlon was psyched to fight such a strong opponent, and had Jellicent grapple his Beheeyem, to which Beheyeem fired Shadow Ball to defeat Jellicent. Despite the defeat, Marlon was glad to have battled such a strong foe. The Hood Man commented that Marlon didn't need to thank him for that.
White stalked Marlon, believing he had some information on the Hood Man. Since Marlon was walking in the corridor carrying his injured Jellicent, White sent Dorothy and Nancy, and the latter healed Jellicent. White pretended that she merely wanted to heal Jellicent, but Marlon saw through her to stop pretending. Still, he was pleased that White wasn't a bad person to send out such cute Pokémon. White admitted the purpose for talking to Marlon, who stated he was no villain, unveiled what he sensed about the Hood Man. Marlon remarked that unlike other participants, the Hood Man entered the League without eight badges, which surprised White.
Marlon stated could smell the scent of the Pokémon, depending on the water that the being originated from, like White's Dorothy from the puddles near Icirrus City or Nancy, who was caught at Route 4. At any rate, Marlon reminded that every participant had to cross a short bridge over a small river, where the participants had to show their Trio Badge. Marlon stated they all bore a scent, which he didn't sense on the Hood Man. White went to report this to the officials, but Marlon stopped her, reminding that a scent wasn't a good enough evidence, and remarked that the Hood Man was a powerful opponent, nevertheless. Before Marlon went to Humilau City, he pointed at Cheren, stating she should be concerned about him, as his heart was closed off.B&W057: Something Suspicious
When he spoke to Grey, the Hood Man noted that Marlon's strength came from the harmony of nature.B&W058: True Friends

Looker reminded Colress how he participated, named as "Lou-Karr", along with Marlon and other participants.B2W2004: Innocent Scientist Brycen spoke to Cheren and reminded him how he needed to obtain eight badges to participate in the Unova League, just like many challengers had to, including Marlon.B2W2006: Movie Panic Colress recalled how Zinzolin disobeyed Ghetsis' orders and went to the Pokémon League with the other challengers.B2W2012: Cold Storage Battle As Cheren and his students were knocked unconscious, Marlon and Benga brought them to the underwater tunnel - Marine Tube - when the Plasma Frigate started to freeze Unova cities.
Marlon was inside the Marine Tube, scolding Benga, his protégé, for starting a fire inside, as he wanted to show some hospitality. He then met Cheren and the students, noting that the former had an "evil spirit" removed, comparing him to his status in the Pokémon League. Marlon informed them of the flying ship freezing cities. As he had contacted Iris and Roxie for support, he asked of Cheren to help them out. After finding out that Whitley could not speak (thinking it was because of a great shock), he noted that the Plasma Frigate was striking Undella Town.B2W2017: Pink Slip
