First battle

 * Frost Cavern
 * First meeting
 * "This is a fine specimen! It's absolutely brimming with energy. The more we agitate it, the stronger its  Ability becomes, making the snow fall even more furiously. Let's catch it swiftly and get out of here."
 * "What does it look like? We're catching Pokémon. Why else would we have grabbed all of those Poké Balls? It was all so we could catch powerful Pokémon like this Abomasnow. It's full of potent energy!"
 * "You're not the brightest one, are you? Whoever has the most Pokémon and the most energy will come out on top! Lazy people who just wait for things to be handed to them don't get to have these resources!"
 * "Allow me to spell it out for you! It's so Team Flare--and only Team Flare--can survive! After all, why should we care about saving people who aren't on our side? Anyway, I don't mind a healthy curiosity, but I'm afraid I just don't have any more time for you."
 * "You two--hurry up and send these kids packing!"


 * Before battle
 * "Hmm... You're more powerful than you look. I wonder how much energy there is inside you."


 * Being defeated
 * "Not just strong... TOO strong! Not ordinary, indeed..."


 * After being defeated
 * "Hrmph! I've no patience for losing. Let's get out of here!"


 * Lysandre Labs
 * Before battle
 * "Oh, oh, oh, oh? You're that kid from the Frost Cavern... On your lonesome this time?"
 * Yes: "Oooh, that's cold! Colder than that cavern! ♪ Your Pokémon don't even count for anything?
 * No: "Oh! Well, of course you're not! You have your Pokémon, huh?
 * Either way: We gather data all about the Trainers in the region through the Holo Caster, so we know all about you guys. And you know how the Mega Ring is used to awaken a Pokémon's power, right? Just like how the ultimate weapon can max out a Pokémon's power. Heheh... Looks like you and me are practically after the same thing, yeah?"


 * Being defeated
 * "Oooh, you are strong! You and your Pokémon are most certainly not ordinary!"


 * After being defeated
 * "Ding-ding-ding! Yup, you did it! To the victor goes the spoils! Here! An elevator key for you!"
 * "The power of the ... The power to grant life to all around it.../The power to steal life from all around it... It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"

In the anime
In the past, Mable, alongside Lysandre and the other Team Flare Scientists, would help those in need, until Lysandre became disillusioned with the human race and sought to restart the world.

Mable debuted in From A to Z!. She was first seen leading a group of s in Terminus Cave, where they attempted to capture.

Mable briefly appeared in Meeting at Terminus Cave! in a video call with Xerosic, where she and Aliana were ordered to head to Z2 after Team Flare discovered its location thanks to their sensors.

Team Flare, however, quickly found them and a battle between both teams took place. After a prolonged struggle, Team Flare emerged victorious and managed to corner Z2. This, however, triggered Z2 to transform to its 50% Forme and it easily blew Mable and the others back. As Z2 was about to finish them off, Alain and his interfered and battled Z2 to buy her and Aliana time. While Z2 was battling, she and Aliana surprised it by shooting it with their laser guns, finally bringing it down and captured it, completing their mission.

During Team Flare's attack on Lumiose City, Mable had been ordered to stay at Lysandre Labs. In Coming Apart at the Dreams!, she and Celosia saw a helicopter containing, Mairin, Professor Sycamore, and Team Rocket nearing Lysandre Labs through their security cameras.

X attempts to use Mega Evolution to defeat them once again, but it fails since Li'l Kanga is separated from her mother. X instead uses to battle and defeat Mable and Aliana by pinning them to a tree with  and rescues Li'l Kanga.

After escaping, Mable and Aliana head back to the Team Flare Secret HQ. There, they are informed by Xerosic that their repeated failures have led to their mission being given to Team A. Angered by this, Mable questions who made the decision, but is silenced when Bryony informed her that it was the order of their leader.
