Lorelei was briefly seen in A Charizard...and a Champion with her fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.
==========
Lorelei is a villainess in the Pokémon Adventures manga. She is one of the Elite Four and, along with Bruno, Agatha, and Lance, tried to take over the world and kill all humans who weren't nice to Pokémon. She keeps a small webcam in a cosmetics case to communicate with Agatha and has the ability to make voodoo dolls out of ice. Lorelei was recruited by Agatha when she was little and healed her Seel. Agatha found out that they both hated human's cruelty towards Pokémon, so Lorelei joined the Elite Four.
Lorelei froze and Sabrina in ice, causing them severe injuries that continued to harm them for several years. She later found and Bill in Viridian Forest and attacked them with her Dewgong and Cloyster. She used their combined powers to make an "" to bury the two of them alive but Yellow used Pikachu to study the move from inside its Poké Ball. Yellow read Pikachu's mind and knocked out Cloyster, making the attack useless. Lorelei then gave chase to her and Bill and, once they jumped into a river, Lorelei froze it over. Lorelei then started asking questions about Yellow's power and if she could read Pika's past thoughts. Before these questions were answered, Yellow had Ratty use through the iceberg and free them. When Lorelei was about to send out her Pokémon once again, Green deflected her Poké Ball and Yellow and Bill got away. Lorelei then contacted Agatha with her cosmetics case about Yellow's ability and proclaims that if Yellow's power grows she will be able to read the past memories of Pika and learn the details of Red and Bruno's battle. She then delegated Yellow as the new target of the Elite Four.
After this, Lorelei had her Shellder and Cloyster attack Celadon City in order to stall Erika.
 and Sabrina battle Lorelei on Cerise Island. Lorelei used her voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together and eventually freeze them, just as she had done to Red. The lack of teamwork between Green and Sabrina got Green knocked out (Green was being targeted since she was the one who had humiliated Lorelei in her battle with Yellow). After a while Green woke up and was able to save herself and Sabrina with Blasty before they fell off a cliff. She had her Clefable use to steal the dolls from Lorelei, having Blasty break the two dolls and inadvertently severing Green's arm in the process. It was then revealed that the whole time her arm was actually Ditty and that getting her arm "cut off" was part of her plan and had Ditty tie her up. Sabrina suffered from lasting injuries caused by Lorelei's ice cuffs. As a result, she and Red were forced to deal with painful wounds for a very long time.
==========
Lorelei vanished for several years, and only returned when she saved Red and from Team Rocket's Three Beasts in Icefall Cave. Lorelei decided to ally herself with Red and Blue because Team Rocket invaded her home of the Sevii Islands. She battled against Sird on Seven Island, but was defeated after Sird distracted her with the she had released from the Tanoby Chambers. Lorelei managed to wrap her Jynx's icy breath around Sird's leg, allowing her to track her moves. At the end of the arc, detecting that Sird was nearby, Lorelei attempted to freeze her over as payback for her defeat, but Sird managed to break the ice before she was completely frozen over and escape.

After Pikachu managed to get a perfect score on a math assignment, she shows them to the plants and tricks Clefairy by holding a giant magnifying glass by the sun and using the rays to burn Clefairy, with Slowbro shooting water to cool him off. Then, Lorelei decides to serve everyone food. She pulled another trick on Clefairy by hiding her Cloyster in Clefairy's bowl, making him accidentally eat Cloyster. During the physical education class where the Pokémon had to jump over a beam, her Jynx managed to perform it very well and switched the bouncer to make it where Clefairy landed on it. This is where Lorelei revealed herself to be the first member of the Elite Four.
