In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Anabel is revealed to have joined the [[International Police]], and was assigned on the [[Ultra Beast|UB]] Task Force. After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Looker]], Anabel's subordinate, invites the player to the motel on {{rt|8|Alola}}. Inside, Anabel asks to confirm if the player came in contact with UB-01 Symbiont, better known as {{p|Nihilego}}. Upon confirmation, Anabel discloses the mission of the UB Task Force: to destroy the Ultra Beasts, who, being drawn into an unfamiliar world against their wishes, are hostile and thus dangerous. However, out of compassion for the Ultra Beasts, she asks the player for their assistance to catch them instead. Upon agreeing, Anabel challenges them to a {{pkmn|battle}} to gauge their strength. | |||
After being defeated, Anabel is satisfied, and briefs them on their mission, the first step being to rendezvous with [[Wicke]] and gather information about the Ultra Beasts at the [[Aether Foundation]]. As the player returns to the motel, Looker spots Nihilego, and the player is compelled to catch it to proceed with the next mission. After doing so, Anabel receives clearance from the International Police HQ to let the player keep all caught Ultra Beasts, as she believes they would be happier off with them and would simply become research subjects if sent to HQ. Subsequently, four more Ultra Beast sightings are observed, requiring the player to capture them while Anabel helps to keep the Beasts away from civilization. She insists on doing this job, while sending out the player to catch the Ultra Beasts and Looker to remain in the motel as backup. | |||
As the player goes through the missions, upon catching the Ultra Beasts and returning to the motel, Anabel shows signs of pain or weakness, but keeps insisting she is all right. At the end of the fourth mission, while she is out trying to make a reservation at a restaurant for herself, Looker, and the player, Looker and [[Nanu]], a retired International Police officer himself, reveal the reason for Anabel's weakness: Ten years ago, right after the first Ultra Beast incursion known to the International Police, Anabel had been found washed up on the beach of [[Poni Island]], having passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and lost most of her memories, only recalling her name, that she came from [[Hoenn]], that she "protected [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Tower|some tower]]", and that she was a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. As a result of her encounter with the Wormhole, she became irradiated with the wormhole's energy, causing the Ultra Beasts to be drawn to her. The International Police took interest in her because of this, and after she volunteered to join, the organization decided to use her as bait to draw out the Ultra Beasts, a term called '''Faller''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｆａｌｌ|フォール}}'''), although she is seemingly unaware of this. | |||
According to Looker and Nanu, this mirrors the aforementioned first incursion, when the two of them, plus a woman, were sent to destroy the Ultra Beast, but just as they were about to do so, Looker let down his guard on the Ultra Beast out of pity, resulting in it lashing out and killing their female partner. She was also apparently a Faller, having passed through an Ultra Wormhole, and it would be inevitable that she would be targeted by the Ultra Beasts. This, according to Looker, is the reason why, towards the fourth and fifth missions, he sends her on false leads in her job to protect the townspeople from the Ultra Beasts, as it would buy time for her to regain her strength and not get targeted by the Ultra Beasts, knowing it would be fatal for her. It is also apparently the reason why Anabel was promoted so quickly, becoming Looker's superior despite having been his junior when she first joined the International Police. | |||
