Later, Whitley competed against her female classmates in a small tournament hosted by , the teacher. Whitley ended up winning by accident, earning herself a Pokédex from . Though she initially refused, convinced her to keep it. Later that night, Whitley realized her mother made her switch schools as a way of breaking off any connections to her past as a member of Team Plasma. After sadly wishing for N to return, Whitley put on her old Grunt uniform to cheer herself up.
In Pokédex Lecture, Whitley was dragged to the Pledge Grove as a trip to fill the Pokédex with data. When Blake got too close, Foongy retaliated with , accidentally attracting a in the process. Keldeo immediately attacked, causing Whitley and Blake to fall off a nearby cliff. After saving himself, Blake carried the unconscious Whitley back to school. 
In Movie Panic, Cheren took his class to a school trip at Pokéstar Studios. There, Whitley acted in a Brycen-Man movie where she faced the titular villain while playing the role of the superheroine Foongus Girl. She easily defeated Brycen-Man's Pokémon, but a Mecha from another movie set appeared and began running wild. Blake, as the Kid, stepped in to save the day, much to Whitley's embarrassment. After returning to school, , , and consulted with the other girls on their plans for the upcoming cultural festival. When Hugh told the girls to go back to their dorms like Cheren said to, Yuki told him off, one of her comments angering him into attacking. The girls angrily went home, but Hugh ending up finding Whitley's pendant on the ground. Later that night, Hugh checked the memory card contained inside the pendant and discovered one of the girls in his class was a Team Plasma member. Having been the very first person who had their Pokémon stolen by Team Plasma, Hugh angrily swore to find the owner of the pendant and expose her true identity.
In Legendary Tornadus, Whitley realized her pendant had vanished. The next day in class, Blake dragged Whitley to so they could search for supplies for the cultural festival that haven't arrived yet due to powerful winds in the area. Shortly after arriving, Blake and Whitley were attacked by , who immediately turned into its . Blake managed to defeat Tornadus, but the shock of the situation caused Foongy to accidentally release its spores, putting Whitley to sleep. Whitley later awakened at the Virbank Gym, where she and Blake watched a live performance by Roxie and her band. Blake revealed he heard his classmates talking about inviting Roxie to the upcoming Choir Tournament and decided to do so after the concert was over. 
In Choir Tournament, Whitley took part in the Autumn Choir Tournament as a member of Team . After facing off against a variety of other teams in the tournament, Team Jigglypuff emerged as the winner. Roxie, who agreed to judge the competition after being asked by Blake, had her father take the winning team and their class to Castelia City to compete in the Unova Choir Tournament. 
In Angry Boy, the class arrived at Castelia City, only for Roxie to encounter an injured member of the executive committee for the Unova Choir Tournament whose was stolen by Team Plasma. Hoping the Team Plasma members might know of N's whereabouts, Whitley decided to join Blake, Hugh, and Roxie in finding the culprits. Their search led them to the Castelia Sewers, where they encountered several Plasma Grunts wearing black uniforms. The group was forced to scatter when the Grunts sent their to attack, causing Whitley and Roxie to get separated from the others. By using the knowledge she acquired at school, Whitley easily defeated the Grunts' Muk, forcing them to retreat. In order to get some answers, Whitley decided to use the Xtransceiver to call her mother. Her mother revealed the black-suited Grunts are from a faction of Team Plasma that opposed N's ideals and wished to use liberated Pokémon for their own ends. She also revealed a scientist named Colress was made the new leader of Team Plasma and created a device capable of controlling Pokémon known as the Colress Machine. The members of Team Plasma that sided with N created a memory card containing data on a device that could counteract the Colress Machine and hid it inside Whitley's pendant. Whitley was asked by her mother to find the missing pendant and take it to Rood or Gorm.
In Therian Forme III, Whitley and Roxie left the sewers to meet with the others at Prime Pier. Whitley decided to wait so she could figure where she last saw her pendant. Hugh appeared and revealed to everyone that a student was a member of Team Plasma and presented Whitley's pendant as proof. When Hugh revealed he planned to leave school to fight Team Plasma, Whitley appeared to stop him. Finding her behavior suspicious, the class began suspecting Whitley, but were affected by Foongy's spores. After the others fell asleep, Hugh realized Whitley was the Team Plasma member he was searching for.
In Frozen World, Hugh offered to return the pendant if Whitley helped retrieve the taken from his sister years ago. Before they do anything, Whitley and Hugh were alerted to the Plasma Frigate, a flying ship that used a cannon to freeze several buildings and civilians in an instant. Hugh managed to push Whitley and himself out of the way in time, but ended up falling unconscious. Rood appeared shortly after, having been alerted of the situation by Whitley's mother. Rood revealed the International Police had been arresting members of the Seven Sages and that the Plasma Frigate is powered by the Legendary Pokémon . Rood's subordinates discover the memory card isn't on Hugh's person, meaning he must have left it back at the Trainers' School. Rood suggested heading to the school to search for it, but Whitley didn't want to leave her classmates behind while they were still suspicious of her. To remedy this, Rood had a N was friends with take Whitley's form with to fool the others while they searched.
A was sent from the Plasma Frigate and attempted to capture Rood, only for Whitley to push him out of the way, causing her to get captured instead. After she was locked inside an empty cabin, the door was opened by Blake, who claimed he was captured as well. When he tried asking where and when she was captured, Whitley realized that Blake's constant advancements were to uncover her connection to Team Plasma. Whitley accidentally revealed her allegiance to Team Plasma, but claimed she never participated in their crimes. Having confirmed his suspicions, Blake handcuffed Whitley and told her he was an International Police officer. After assuring that he only wanted to talk, Blake asked Whitley where the memory card was located, but she agreed to tell only after they freed Kyurem from Colress's control. After battling through several Grunts, Whitley and Blake arrived at Kyurem's chamber and destroyed it, only to find it empty. Colress appeared and revealed that they drained Kyurem of enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress then had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to toss them into the ocean.
In N Returns, Blake awakened at the Abyssal Ruins, where he and Whitley were taken to by Kelden after it used an Aspear Berry to break free of the ice. Despite the handcuffs being broken, Whitley chose to stay and keep Blake warm while he recovered. Blake was taken to the frozen bodies of Kelden's masters, , who had been frozen solid by 's in their previous encounter with it. Reasoning that a Techno Blast could melt the ice created by an version of the same move, Blake sent out to free Kelden's masters, but was stopped by Whitley, who feared the faulty Burn Drive could explode and seriously harm Genesect. Confused, Blake revealed he cannot feel emotions such as pity or fear and stated he was using what he believed to be the most effective way to free Kelden's masters and that Genesect could simply be healed afterward. Techno Blast successfully frees Keldeo's masters, and as an act of gratitude, used its sword to remove the Burn Drive, preventing the explosion from harming Genesect. 
Blake decided that if they were to face Team Plasma again, he and Whitley would need more team members. After reluctantly catching a wild , Whitley traded it for Blake's , causing both to evolve into an and an . Afterward, the ruins started ejecting everyone out of it, forcing Whitley and Blake to ride on Kelden's back and head outside along with Kelden's masters. Kyurem's influence caused the DNA Splicers in Blake's bag to rapidly pull him, Whitley, and Kelden to the surface towards it. To Whitley's shock, she found N and in battle with Ghetsis and Kyurem. Blake flew towards Kyurem, but was knocked out by the DNA Splicers' power and fell back into the ocean, forcing Whitley and Kelden to dive back in to rescue him.
In Dream World, Whitley and Blake were found on a beach by and . While Whitley was unconscious, Blake introduced himself to the others. Once Whitley had awakened, she was informed of the situation and decided to join her fellow Unova Pokédex holders in stopping Team Plasma. After tracking Kyurem's whereabouts to the Giant Chasm, Whitley and the others rode on Black's 's back to chase after Ghetsis. 
In Giant Chasm, the group arrived at the Giant Chasm, where they were joined by Iris and Gorm. Tired of waiting for the heroes, Colress revealed himself and told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, Rood appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the Colress Machine's effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become . Frustrated at his machine's defeat, Colress threw the device away and fled, revealing he decided to quit Team Plasma. While Blake chased Coless, Whitley decided to find N, who was held captive aboard the Plasma Frigate. To help Whitley, White lent her Gigi, a belonging to N, before sending her onto the ship. While inside, Whitley reunited with Hugh, who had been told the truth about Team Plasma by Rood. After Hugh apologized for his earlier behavior at Castelia, Whitley found the room where N was held and managed to wake him up. N promised to return Hugh his stolen Purrloin, but only after they stopped Ghetsis. While on their way, Hugh encountered a pair of Grunts he had a personal grudge against and decided to stay behind to face them. Foongy decided to side with Hugh and assist him.
Whitley and N encountered and Alder in Ghetsis's room. Alder revealed he and Looker battled Ghetsis, but the latter managed to escape and hide himself. After N found Ghetsis, a sudden explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart from the inside, sending everyone flying. Whitley and the others watched in horror as N's attempt to rescue Ghetsis only resulted in him being beaten and seriously injured. Once Hugh returned, N's wounds were healed by Foongy and his body was put onto Reshiram so he could be taken to safety. The Plasma Frigate crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting it ablaze and putting the liberated Pokémon Team Plasma left behind in danger. Once everyone got to safe ground and regrouped, Blake decided the best option to stop the fire was to combine the might of all three stages of the Unova first partner Pokémon. Teaming up with Gigi again, Whitley, Blake, Black, White, Hugh, Cheren, Bianca, Benga, and Cedric Juniper unleashed a triple , , and combination attack, successfully dousing the flames. Later, as he was arrested by the International Police, Ghetsis swore to one day return and restart his ambition to manipulate and lead the people. Whitley assured Ghetsis that his schemes would never succeed, stating that even if he were to somehow fool humans into following him, the Pokémon hurt by Team Plasma wouldn't be tricked and would never forgive him. Noticing the liberated Pokémon had begun to glare at him with anger in their eyes, Ghetsis fearfully broke down and walked into the police helicopter for his own safety.
In Epilogue, Whitley went to speak with Rood, who had been taken into International Police custody. She revealed that Blake and Hugh agreed to keep her status as a Team Plasma member secret, allowing Whitley and her mother to continue living their normal lives. During the Trainers' School graduation ceremony, Whitley was informed by Blake that he'd be leaving Unova to go on another mission under a different identity. Sometime later, Whitley worked together with N, Anthea, and Concordia to return all the Pokémon liberated by Team Plasma back to their original owners. To Whitley's relief, Foongy's original Trainer didn't want it back and allowed Whitley to keep it.
