She reappeared during a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.
===Character===
Anabel has the empathetic ability to sense the emotions of living beings and communicatingcommunicate with them, ever since she was little, possessing powers similar to {{adv|Yellow}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. However, other characters do not seem to regard these as {{t|Psychic}} abilities, but rather a honed sense of empathy. Nevertheless, she is still portrayed as a sort of {{t|Psychic}} [[type expert]]. She also shares a particularly strong bond with her Pokémon, and is seemingly able to command them seemingly telepathically. Without the vocal commands as a cue, {{Ash}} initially struggled to compete against Anabel. She also refers to her Pokemon as her friends.
Anabel uses her Psychic Pokémon's attacks to either {{status|Confusion|confuse}} her opponent's Pokémon or control oncoming attacks. Her Pokémon also know some [[physical attackmove]]s like {{m|Meteor Mash}}, making them equally effective in direct confrontations.

|desc=Anabel first called on {{p|Alakazam}} in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' to help her and {{Ash}} when they were attacked by {{TRT}}. Alakazam was able to beatdefeat them with its powerful Psychic attack. Ash then realized that Anabel was a [[Frontier Brain]] and that he would have to {{pkmn|battle}} Alakazam. Ash chose {{AP|Corphish}} for thethat match. Anabel had the ability to telepathically communicate with her Pokémon and give them commands without saying a word. In the end, Alakazam easily defeated {{p|Corphish}}. Alakazam then went on to defeat [[Ash'sand {{AP|Tauros]]}} before finally being defeated by his {{AP|Pikachu}}, but notit beforewas weakeningable to weaken it beforehand.
In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', Ash had a [[rematch]] with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon. It went head to head against Ash's Corphish once again, but this time with a little bit of luck as well as Ash's quick thinking, Alakazam was defeated by Corphish's {{m|Bubble Beam}} after Ash found a way to overcome Corphish's confusion.
Alakazam's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Recover}}.}}

|desc={{p|Metagross}} was for the first time seen during {{Ash}}'s first match against her, where it easily defeated [[Ash's {{AP|Pikachu]]}}, losing the match for Ash. During Ash's [[rematch]] against Anabel, Metagross easily defeated [[Ash's {{AP|Corphish]]}}, but the Iron Leg Pokémon later tied with his {{AP|Tauros}} after its Meteor Mash collided with Tauros's {{m|Take Down}}.
Metagross's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Meteor Mash}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

|desc={{p|Espeon}}, Anabel's favorite Pokémon, was seen during {{Ash}}'s [[rematch]] against her, where it battled {{pkmnAP|battlePikachu}}d against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Even though Espeon at firstinitially managed to overwhelm Pikachu with its speed and power, one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s turned the lights off, making it impossible for both Anabel and Espeon to see where the next attack was coming from. This cost some critical hits for Espeon, and Pikachu was finally able to defeat the Sun Pokémon with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, winning the match for Ash and earning him the [[Symbol|Ability Symbol]].
It also reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]].
It was revealed that Anabel had become a member of the [[International Police]]. She, along with [[Looker]] first appear investigating [[Po Town]], where several [[Ultra Beasts]] had appeared before breaking out and wreaking havoc on [[Ula'ula Island]]. Shortly after arriving, Anabel and Looker meet with {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}}, a pair of children who had previously faced the Ultra Beasts. While she questioned Sun and Moon about the beasts, Anabel had Looker go off to investigate the rampaging beasts to find information on them as well. After receiving the information, Anabel sent out her {{p|Mismagius}} to battle {{p|Blacephalon}}, another Ultra Beast that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]].
Together with Sun, Anabel managed to stun Blacephalon long enough to throw a [[{{i|Poké Ball]]}} at it, but Blacephalon immediately breaks out, confirming that regular Poké Balls do not work on Ultra Beasts. Blacephalon retaliates by using {{m|Mind Blown}} on the group, forcing Anabel to get everyone out of the way. Anabel and the others are saved by {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Ula'ula Island, who used a large gust of wind to blow both Blacephalon and its attack far away. As Sun and Moon feed a [[Mirage Berry]] to Tapu Bulu to befriend it, Anabel speculates that there must be a man hiding in Alola capable of making Poké Balls that are able to capture Ultra Beasts.
Later, Anabel, Sun, and Moon head towards [[Poni Island]]. Anabel revealed to Sun and Moon that {{p|Xurkitree}} and Blacephalon are also making their way to Poni. Due to Poni not having an [[Island Kahuna]], there would be no one capable enough of protecting the island from the two beasts. Sun, more fixated on delivering the next Mirage Berry to {{p|Tapu Fini}}, decided to head off and find someone who can help him search for it. After docking on Poni, Anabel and Moon arrived at [[Seafolk Village]], which had been evacuated due to the Ultra Beasts' attacks. Worried that some injured people may still be there, Anabel requested to Moon that she help heal any hurt civilians. As they walked through [[Poni Wilds]], Moon asked Anabel how she knew the names of the Ultra Beasts. Anabel then revealed that she knew because she is a Faller, a human who had passed through an Ultra Wormhole.

|desc={{p|Mismagius}} is Anabel's second known Pokémon. It was first used to battle a {{p|Blacephalon}} at [[Po Town]] alongside {{adv|Sun}}'s [[Cent]]. Together, they managed to stun it long enough for Anabel to attempt a capture, but the [[Ultra Beast]] broke out of the [[{{i|Poké Ball]]}} easily.
Mismagius's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Phantom Force}}.}}

Anabel first appearsappeared in ''[[CBF4|Introducing the Frontier Brains!]]'', disguised as a photographer. She took a picture of [[Enta's Vulpix]] and {{p|Feebas}}. She tellstold Enta about the Frontier Brains after [[Rald]] iswas defeated by her, prompting him to challenge them in order to discover which one defeated Rald.
After Enta defeatsdefeated his sixth Frontier Brain, {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, he iswas told that the seventh one is none other than Anabel herself, much to his surprise. Enta's battle with Anabel endsended up in a draw after a showdown between Ninetales and Entei.
