As he leaves, Marshal tells Black to take White to a hospital. Afterward, Marshal arrives at the seabed, where he meets with Alder.
When Black and White arrive at the Battle Subway, they find Marshal and Alder battling each other. Despite Marshal seemingly gaining the upper hand, the battle ends in Alder's favor. The Mayor of Nimbasa City reveals that the battle between Marshal and Alder was part of a series of tests for Battle Subway before it opened to the public. Despite a lack of battling experience, White decides to take part in the next Battle Subway test. Later, Marshal finds Black sulking due to being jealous that White was chosen to test the Battle Subway and not him. Marshal tells Black to stop complaining and sends him off to help White catch her first Pokémon. After Black and White succeed in their mission to capture a Pokémon, Marshal notices that Black's newly caught Tirtouga used to belong to him before he released it a day earlier.

Alder accepts N's challenge while Marshal referees the battle. In the end, Alder loses and eventually disappears, allowing Team Plasma to use his defeat as a means to justify their goals, which only increased the amount of released Pokémon and lowered the number of Pokémon League spectators.
At the Pokémon League, Marshal gathers with his fellow Elite Four members to make way for the tournament. Marshal, furious at how Team Plasma has used Alder's defeat to justify their goals, asks his allies to help join in the fight against them. Much to his disappointment, none of them agree with his wishes. The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with N's Castle. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by Hood Man, who uses , , and against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes.
