Because Brock saved her, Marley asked him to escort her to a flower field. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} eventually discovered that Marley was harboring an injured {{p|Shaymin}}. She explains that she was approached by Shaymin because it was being attacked by [[Team Rocket|a trio]] of thugs who wanted to take it.  

Marley eventually got to the flower field that had [[Gracidea (flower)|Gracidea]] flowers, and Shaymin was about to transform into its [[Forme differences|Sky Forme]]. There, it defeated Team Rocket and was reunited with its friends. Marley then bid Shaymin farewell. As Shaymin left, Marley informed Ash and {{ashfr}} that it said goodbye to her telepathically.

|desc=Marley befriended and sheltered {{p|Shaymin}} when it was attacked by Team Rocket while traveling to a flower field to reunite with its friends. After meeting up with Ash and friends, Shaymin finally made it to the flower field and, after making it to some hard-to-reach [[Gracidea (flower)|Gracidea]] flowers, transformed into its Sky Forme and sent Team Rocket blasting off. However, the attack by Team Rocket had destroyed the Gracidea flowers and the ice that had been created to fend off Team Rocket forced Shaymin to transform back into its Land Forme. All looked lost until Shaymin's friends arrived and some Gracidea flowers bloomed, allowing Shaymin to transform again. After saying a fond farewell to Marley, Shaymin left with its friends.

Shaymin's known moves are {{m|Seed Flare}}, {{m|Aromatherapy}} and {{m|Air Slash}}.}}

Marley first makes an appearance in the [[Battleground]] battling with fellow Stat Trainer, [[Buck]]. The battle, much to Marley's annoyance, goes without a conclusion as Buck notices [[Looker]] spying on them and chases after him while the officer escapes.

Later, Marley arrives at {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} where she begs for the Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} to help her. Shaymin reacts to her wish and appears before Marley. Marley is soon captured by the [[Advanced level Grunt]] of [[Team Galactic]], but he frees her after {{adv|Platinum}}, Cheryl, Mira, Riley, and [[Palmer]] arrive. They enter the Distortion World but are separated upon arriving due to the dimension's strange gravity.

The battle is interrupted by Giratina as it flies past them so that it can fight with the other legendary Pokémon in the area. As it flies past her, Shaymin accidentally gets stuck on Giratina's head and gets caught in the ensuing fight. Soon after, everyone begins to gather together and the conversation that follows reminds Marley about what she read in the letter she received from Professor Oak.

The gratitude Shaymin senses makes it decide to join in the fray and it does so by using {{m|Worry Seed}} to wake everyone up from {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Dark Void}}. This attack allows everyone to redirect on of Giratina's attacks to hit Charon, forcing him to retreat. Marley and the others are left behind as {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum chase after Charon to the real world.

After Charon is defeated, Marley asks Shaymin if it wants to stay with her; an offer Shaymin accepts.

|desc=Marley met {{p|Shaymin}} on Route 224 after begging for its help. She quickly befriended it and took it with her into the Distortion World where it got caught in the battle between the other legendary Sinnoh Pokémon. When Charon tried to escape, Shaymin used Marley's Gracidea Flower to turn into its Sky Forme and chase after him but was defeated. After the battle had ended, Marley asked if it would stay with her and it accepted.

* Marley's outfit is based on the Japanese {{wp|Lolita fashion#Gothic Lolita|gothic lolita}} style.

* Marley is the only one of the [[stat Trainers]] to not use at least one [[legendary Pokémon]] in the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. This changes in {{v2|Platinum}}, as she has a {{p|Raikou}}.
