While on [[Mandarin Island South]], {{Tracey}} learned that Prima will be giving a lecture and {{pkmn|battle}} demonstration there. He also revealed that she has a house on the island and trains there during her sabbaticals. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} had a chance encounter with Prima while sitting down at a café. {{an|Misty}} was very excited, as Prima was her idol. Ash enthusiastically challenged Prima to a battle, but she didn't notice him and instead gravitated towards [[Misty's Togepi]]. Prima did, however, invite them to her lecture and demonstration. She watched Ash's match against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Prima then stepped in with her {{p|Slowbro}} after [[Ash's Charizard]] was being disobedient, allowing Ash to [[recall]] him back to his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Just then, {{TRT}} arrived on the scene, but Prima sent out her {{p|Jynx}} and dealt with them swiftly. Afterwards, she wished the group well and informed Ash that the closest [[Gym]] was the [[Trovita Gym]].

{{p|Cloyster}} is Prima's main Pokémon. She first used it during her lecture, where it was easily able to {{status|freeze}} a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Kadabra}} with a strong {{m|Blizzard}}. She also later used Cloyster in her {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While Pikachu managed to damage Cloyster with {{m|Thunder}}, Cloyster was easily able to defeat him with an {{m|Aurora Beam}}-{{m|Take Down}} combo.}}

====History====

Lorelei was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|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.

{{adv|Green}} 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 {{m|Minimize}} 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 makes a cameo appearance in ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} aboard the [[Seagallop|Seagallop ferry]].

* In [[The Four-Star Challenge|the novelization]] of [[EP099|the anime episode]] where Lorelei appeared, she is still referred to as Prima except for one error near the novelization's ending, where she is called Lorelei.

* Lorelei is the only member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] to not use two Pokémon of the same species at once. [[Bruno]] has two {{TP|Bruno|Onix}}, [[Agatha]] has two {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}, and [[Lance]] has two {{p|Dragonair}}.

* Lorelei is one of few members of any Elite Four to have a [[Four Island|home]] shown {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game|s}}, the others being [[Caitlin]], [[Hala]], [[Olivia]], and [[Acerola]].

* In the {{pmin|France|French}} localizations of [[Generation I]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Lorelei is depicted with a stereotypical and prominent German accent.

* In the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against Lance. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.

* In the Generation III games, all of Lorelei's Pokémon are female during the first battle against her, but during the [[rematch]], they're all male instead, excluding {{p|Jynx}}, which is an all-female {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}.
