Marina was first seen talking to Vincent on the videophone at a [[Pokémon Center]]. When she noticed Jimmy's presence, she quickly said goodbye to Vincent to give him attention. They started talking about their {{pkmn|journey}}s, and Marina said she wanted to turn all of her {{pkmn|battle}}s into a show to make people happy. When Jimmy said that {{pkmn|training}} and being a star were two completely different things, Marina challenged him to a battle to prove him wrong. During the battle, a lightning bolt struck the battlefield, scaring [[Little Miss]] and causing her to run into the woods. Marina then chased her and discovered that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from [[Team Rocket]] were trying to capture the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}}. | Marina was first seen talking to Vincent on the videophone at a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Marina appeared on the cover of a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]], modeling the [[Pokétch]]. Additionally, she made another cameo appearance in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' in a video hosted on the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website, which [[Zoey]] showed to {{an|Dawn}}. In the video, Marina was seen delivering a [[Double Performance]] with [[Wani-Wani]] and Pink. [[Marian]] called her a [[Top Coordinator]], meaning she has won the [[Grand Festival]] and has been awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]]. Marina even appears to have her own merchandise; one of the customers of the [[Café Cabin|Mountain Hut Maid Café]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' wore a T-shirt with her face on it. | In ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Marina appeared on the cover of a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]], modeling the [[Pokétch]].

She tends to perform synchronized movements with her Pokémon whenever she calls them out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. She practices singing and dancing steps with her Pokémon, which gives them a dynamic rhythm in battle. | ||
Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a Pokémon Idol. One aspect of being a Pokémon Idol seems to entail putting on a show while {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. It should be noted that in Japanese pop culture, {{wp|Japanese idol|idols}} are media personalities admired for their cuteness. Therefore, it is assumed that Marina's ambitions are somewhere along these lines, and she plans to use cute and talented Pokémon to help her become famous. Given that one of her cameos in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} was as a magazine model, it is likely that real-life Japanese idols were the basis of her character design. | Her goal, unlike most other Trainers, is to be a Pokémon Idol.
