Anabel: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|section|needs=Design/Personality sections, breakdown of her settei.}}

===Generation III===

Anabel is described as a "mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}}" by a resident of the Battle Frontier. She first appears in the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} as the 35th opponent the {{player}} faces, unimpressed by the rumors she has heard about their accomplishments. She battles the player with a team meant to size them up, and awards the [[Symbol|Ability Symbol]] onto the {{DL|Trainer Card (game)|Frontier Pass}} upon defeat. Now understanding the player's ability, she urges them to continue their winning streak and reach her again.

 

Later, Anabel appears again at the 70th consecutive match. This time, she is happy that the player won consecutive matches to see her, and that she can battle flat-out without holding back at all. After being defeated, she thanks the player for giving her a battle more enjoyable than any she ever had before, and confers the Gold Symbol upon them.

===Generation VII===

Ten years prior to the events of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Anabel was found unconscious on a [[Poni Island]] beach by [[Looker]] and [[Nanu]], who had just completed a mission for the [[International Police]]. She had lost most of her memories, only able to tell them her name, that she came from Hoenn, that she protected a tower there, and that she was a powerful Trainer. After being placed in the care of the International Police, they detected incredible amounts of [[Ultra Wormhole]] energy coming from her, implying that she was a [[Faller]] who was lost in a wormhole for a significant time. Anabel has never been informed of this, however.

Anabel eventually joined the International Police herself and quickly ascended the ranks, until she ended up as Looker's superior in the UB Task Force, a secret division of the International Police that deals with [[Ultra Beast]]s. After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} in Pokémon Sun and Moon, they will meet Anabel and Looker when they visit the {{rt|8|Alola}} motel on [[Akala Island]].

When the player meets Anabel and Looker, the pair recruit the player to the UB Task Force. Although one of the task force's duties is to either safeguard or destroy the Ultra Beasts, neither Anabel nor Looker wishes to harm them, so they need the help of the new Champion of Alola. Anabel will also battle the player to ensure that they are up to the job.

The group proceeds to track down and catch Ultra Beasts across all four of Alola's islands. After the player catches the first, Nihilego, Anabel arranges for the player to keep the Ultra Beasts, rather than delivering them to the International Police where they would end up as research subjects. During each mission, Anabel's job is to protect nearby populated areas with the assistance of her Pokémon. As the missions continue, however, Anabel starts to show signs of fatigue. Apparently, the Ultra Beasts are being drawn to her strongly as a Faller and becoming extremely aggressive toward her, which is only exacerbated when there are multiple of them that can assail her simultaneously. In the last mission, Looker finally misdirects her away from the action so that she can recover her strength.

Anabel can later be encountered again as a Trainer in the [[Battle Tree]], primarily using Pokémon from her Emerald roster.

In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Anabel makes a cameo appearance with Looker in [[Poni Plains]]. The two block the way to [[Poni Coast]] until the UB incident at [[Poni Grove]] is resolved, at which point Anabel leaves to go to the Battle Tree for training. It is mentioned that in these games, Anabel and Looker are on vacation in Alola instead of being there for a mission.
