In the games

Skyla appears in Pokémon Black and White as the Gym Leader of Mistralton City's gym. This gym is the sixth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Skyla will receive the Jet Badge, along with TM62 (Acrobatics).

She first appears in Mistralton as the player arrives in the town, where she heads off to the Celestial Tower to the north. After the player talks to her and rings the bell at the top of the tower, she heads back to the gym. She also reappears at N's Castle where she and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages. In the summer, she visits Cynthia at Undella Town.

Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

Mistralton City

"Professor, who's that Trainer? Oh, I see! So that means you'll be challenging the Gym! Oh boy! I'm really looking forward to it! Professor, my plane is a cargo plane! It carries cargo, not people! And you're talking as if place like Kanto and Sinnoh are right around the corner!"

"Sheesh! It's hard to believe a happy-go-lucky guy like that could be a world-renowned Pokémon professor. Heads-up, <player>. As a Gym Leader, I'd be happy to have you challenge the Gym, but there's something I need to take care of first. Just now, as I was flying the cargo plane, I saw something on top of the Celestial Tower. I'm sure that it is a sick Pokémon! If it is, I can't just leave it there! I have to look into this right away. I'm leaving for Route 7's Celestial Tower. You can come along if you want."

Celestial Tower

"Oh, you came. Thank you! I was right. What I saw was a hurt Pokémon. Don't worry, though! It's fine now! I gave it a Max Revive, then it felt better and flew away! Hee hee! Don't I have great eyesight? No matter how far away things are, a Pilot's eyes can see them! Oh, that's right! Since you've come this far, why don't you ring the bell? Celestial Tower's bell is for soothing the spirits of Pokémon. Also, the character of the person ringing the bell is reflected in its sound."

"What a pretty sound. <Player>, you are a kind and strong person. It's that kind of sound. I'd like to introduce myself again! I'm Skyla, the Leader of Mistralton's Pokémon Gym. I use Flying-type Pokémon. When you are ready, please come to the Gym. I'll give you a big welcome!"

Mistralton Gym

Before battle

"Hee-hee! I've been waiting for you. Did you enjoy flying with the help of the Mistralton Gym cannons? They're my pride and joy! This time, let's try something else!"

After the first move

"When I think about a match with a fabulous Trainer like you, it's like I'm walking on air!"

After sending out last Pokémon

"This is my last Pokémon... But I'll never give up hope!"

When defeated

"Being your opponent in battle is a new source of strength to me. Thank you!"

After being defeated

"You're an amazing Pokémon Trainer. My Pokémon and I are happy, because for the first time in a while, we could fight with our full strength. This is an official League Gym Badge. I think it will look good on you."

"Wow, hot stuff! With that many Gym Badges, Pokémon up to Lv. 70 will obey you. Also, as thanks for a Pokémon battle that made me very happy, I want you to have this TM."

"My present to you is Acrobatics. If the user doesn't have a held item, its power doubles. It's a pretty technical move. Be sure to compensate for the lack of a held item! By the way, when I flew over Twist Mountain on the way to Icirrus City... Team Plasma—is that the name? Anyway, they were heading for the city. What kind of people are they?"

"Icirrus City, where you'll find the next Gym, is past Route 7, just after you cross Twist Mountain. It's a hop, skip, and a jump when flying, but it's a really challenging walk. Heads up! Make sure you're ready for it!"

Post game:

Are you and your Pokémon well? Our battle together was so much fun. Now, my Pokémon and I have started training again. I don't usually let people travel in my cargo plane, but battling with you was such a blast that I'd make an exception."

N's Castle

"I'm fine! Don't worry!"

"Now! Acrobatics!!"

Cynthia's villa

"I get along well with Elesa, but Pokémon battles are a different story! If you're not super prepared, your battles with Electric types will leave you in shock!"

"Seeing the ground again after safely passing through a rain cloud in a violent rainstorm... Someday, I'd like to share that moment with you."

"I was just thinking about that. When it comes to swimsuits... You're either about self-composure or you're about self-exposure!"

"Even distant Sinnoh is just a hop, skip, and a jump if I use my cargo plane. But... I also love to travel the sky with a Pokémon when it's using Fly!"

"Mmm... Swimming in the ocean sure feels great!"

National Gymquirer

Jingle: "Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"

Page: "That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Pilotcandidate. Thank yooou! 'I'm an aspiring Pilot who is a huge fan of Skyla! I couldn't take it anymore, and I peeked into her Gym...and it looked like she was flying with the propeller on her head! Isn't that amazing?! Maybe she doesn't even need a plane!' Hmm... That is mysterious! Still, I wonder if she was just using the cannons in her Gym to fly... 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"

Trivia

Her Japanese Leader title is 大空の　ぶっとびガール.

On the Mistralton Gym sign, her title in English is stylized as "The Highflying Girl".

She shares characteristics with another Gym Leader, Winona. They are both female Flying-type specialists and are both the sixth Gym Leader to be battled in their respective regions. They also happen to live near rainy areas.
Her hair accessory seems to resemble an airplane propeller.
Her grandfather was a legendary pilot.
Skyla is the first of the Unova Gym Leaders whose Pokémon don't all know the TM that she gives to the player upon their victory (with only her Swoobat knowing Acrobatics).
