Acerola debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''. She is close friends with [[Ula'ula Island]] residents [[Piko]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}, who refer to her as "Big Sis". She read them a story regarding a mischievous spirit known as the Greedy Rapooh and later went for a walk with them. During the walk, they came across {{TRT}}, who had accidentally released Rapooh, which was actually a {{p|Gengar}}, from the shrine that it had been sealed in.

During the walk, they came across {{TRT}}, who had accidentally released Greedy Rapooh, which was actually a {{p|Gengar}}, from the shrine that it had been sealed in.


Acerola found herself kidnapped by Rapooh, who then began to steal various items despite her requests for it to stop. Her {{Shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, [[nickname]]d Mimikins, eventually rescued her from Rapooh, which resulted in them falling to the ground. Raphooh then started begging Acerola to take it with her, offering her all the items in its possession, but she refused, believing her work at the library to be more important and valuable. Throwing a tantrum, Gengar tried to forcibly take Acerola with it, but she was saved by {{TRT}}, who had followed Gengar in an attempt to get back the [[Darkinium Z]] it had stolen from them. Having seen Team Rocket saving Acerola, [[Nanu]] chose to give them a [[Z-Power Ring]], allowing them to defeat Gengar. Later, a sympathetic Acerola told Gengar that it could come to visit her at the library from time to time, filling it with happiness. After Nanu had let Team Rocket keep the Z-Power Ring, Mimikins gave Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]] as a gift.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Acerola met {{Ash}}, who had traveled to [[Ula'ula Island]] so he could challenge Nanu to a grand trial. After realizing that Ash was tricked into taking care of Nanu's {{alo|Meowth}} while he left to be lazy somewhere else, Acerola took Ash to her library, where she read a story about "the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}". When Nanu arrived to find his missing {{wp|kendama}}, which Acerola had stolen to lure him to her, he was forced by Acerola to accept Ash's challenge to battle him. She later refereed the battle between Ash and his {{AP|Lycanroc}} against Nanu and his {{p|Krookodile}}, which Ash lost. When Nanu told Ash he wasn't ready to face him and should just return to [[Melemele Island]], Ash refused and decided to stay on Ula'ula and train for a rematch. Later, at Ash's request, Acerola suggested they go and see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} so it could help Ash.

Acerola debuted in the [[PASM15]]. She was first mentioned by [[Mallow]], who considered asking her and [[Ilima]] to join her, [[Kiawe]], and [[Lana]] in raiding [[Team Skull]]'s [[Po Town|base]].  
Acerola was first mentioned in [[PASM14]] by [[Mallow]], who considered asking Acerola and [[Ilima]] to join her, [[Kiawe]], and [[Lana]] in raiding [[Team Skull]]'s [[Po Town|base]]. Acerola properly debuted in [[PASM15]], where she found an unconscious {{adv|Sun}} and [[Lillie]] on a beach and took them to the [[Aether House]] to recuperate.  


Acerola first appeared in person at a beach on [[Ula'ula Island]], where she found {{adv|Sun}} and [[Lillie]] lying unconscious after being attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}. With her {{p|Sandygast}}'s help, Acerola transported the two to the [[Aether House]] to recuperate. By the time both had awakened, Acerola had stepped out to take a call. After finishing the call, Acerola properly introduced herself to Sun and Lillie. She took the two to the [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)|former Thrifty Megamart]] so that Sun may participate in his next trial. Acerola tasked Sun with taking a photo of the Totem Pokémon that lives in the abandoned site and heads off to wait for Mallow's group to arrive. Later, Acerola received a photo from Sun, who managed to take a picture of the Totem {{p|Mimikyu}} from the Thrifty Megamart. Having completed his task, Acerola approved of Sun being allowed to meet with {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.  
In [[PASM16]], Acerola introduced herself to Sun and Lillie and took them to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site|abandoned Thrifty Megamart}}. She gave Sun a [[Island challenge|trial]] and tasked him with photographing the [[Totem Pokémon]] that lived inside the building. While  Sun did the trial, Acerola left to go meet with Mallow's group. Later, she received a photo of the Totem {{p|Mimikyu}} from Sun, who had successfully completed the trial.


In [[PASM17]], after meeting up with Mallow's group, Acerola took the Akala Captains to Po Town. They soon met up with Ilima, who had brought [[Hau]] along with him to assist in confronting Team Skull. Shortly after entering the area the group was accosted by several {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s and the commotion alerted Team Skull's leader, [[Guzma]], who demanded to know why his base was being intruded. When the Captains' group stated they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed to their request, but only on the condition that they were able to make to him first. As he says this, a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} appear to attack Acerola's group.  
In [[PASM17]], Acerola, Kiawe, Mallow, Lana, Ilima, and [[Hau]] arrived at Po Town. Their presence alerted Team Skull's boss, [[Guzma]], who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} and had them attack the Captains and Hau. Despite their best efforts, Acerola and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging [[Ultra Beast]]s.  


The three [[Ultra Beast]]s proceeded to rampage, attacking anything in sight. As the battle went on, Sun arrived on the scene, only to get caught up in the commotion. Eventually, the Captains' Pokémon are defeated, but Guzma reveals he is in possession of a {{p|Cosmog}}, which he used more [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in order to summon more Ultra Beasts. Shortly after, [[Gladion]] appeared and demanded that Guzma tell him where he received the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. After revealing his true goal is to destroy the Ultra Beasts, Gladion sends out {{p|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts Guzma summoned.  
In [[PASM18]], Sun arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed the Captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed a {{p|Cosmog}} and had it open more wormholes. [[Gladion]] appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed the [[Aether Foundation]]'s president, [[Lusamine]], was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all of Ula'ula Island. Acerola  and the other Captains headed off to various locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.


Despite the Captains' Pokémon failing to even scratch the Ultra Beasts, Type: Null is easily able to harm them due to the [[Aether Foundation]] specifically creating it to fight beasts. To everyone's shock, Gladion reveals that the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], is the one who gave Guzma his beasts and is secretly using him to fuel her desire for a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts manage to break free from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all of Ula'ula. The Captains head off to various different locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.
In [[PASM22]], Acerola, [[Sophocles]], [[Molayne]], [[Professor Kukui]], and Gladion fought off a Celesteela and Guzzlord at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Gladion easily defeated Celesteela and later defeated Guzzlord to prevent it from hurting [[Lillie]].  


Later, Acerola, Gladion, [[Professor Kukui]], [[Molayne]], and [[Sophocles]] fought off a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], which was being used as a shelter for those caught up in the Ultra Beasts' rampage. Gladion easily defeated Celesteela and later defeated Guzzlord to prevent it from hurting [[Lillie]]. To everyone's shock, Gladion and Lillie revealed that they were siblings and the children of Lusamine. After Lillie presented a [[Sun Flute]] she took from Aether Paradise when she ran away months ago, Gladion decided that they should head to [[Poni Altar|the altar]].
In [[PASM26]], the Trial Captains and [[Island Kahuna]]s were revealed to have spent six months on [[Exeggutor Island]] training to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. After their training was finished, Acerola and the other Captains went to [[Hokulani Observatory]] under Molayne's orders. Once they gathered together, Acerola and the others traveled to [[Mount Lanakila]], where a wormhole had opened up earlier. Shortly after they arrived, their ship was attacked by a group of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s and their Ultra Beasts.
