You don't understand either, do you? It's a little saddening... So, let's have a battle to decide what we should do next. If I win, you leave. If you win, we, Team Galactic, will leave!"


 * During battle (the first non-KO hit)
 * "What do you think you're doing to my Pokémon?!"


 * When defeated
 * "This can't be?! I lost?! You... you uppity brat!"

You do remember me, don't you? Fine, whatever. I'll tell you who I am again! I'm Mars, one of Team Galactic's Commanders. So, what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue? Not a chance! Not even a teeny one! You're all going down!"

 * "The Pokémon of the three lakes are connected somehow. Thanks to Saturn's grandstanding at Lake Valor, a cavern appeared here. It was the cavern where the Pokémon slept. Mesprit appeared, too, probably to go help its friends. That worked out well for us. It was super easy to catch."


 * "So, now we've got them all: Mesprit, "the Being of Emotion." Azelf, "the Being of Willpower." Uxie, "the Being of Intelligence." Now that we have them all... You can look forward to what plans Team Galactic has for them!"

She battles them with her Pokémon, and once her had successfully gathered enough energy; she cut off one of the windmills and flew off with it.

She reappears at the Team Galactic HQ after Saturn suffers his defeat by the hands of Paka and Uji, where they get into an argument about how Saturn doesn't like people standing in his room.

The next time she is seen is when she travels to Lake Verity after Diamond manages to defeat her swarm of that she had sent to Professor Rowan's lab to steal some of his research. She destroys the controller to the machine that was commanding the Yanmega and voices her annoyance at using machines to do her work for her and is told by the Team Galactic Grunts that they have arrived at their destination.

When Mars arrives at the Lake, she encounters Diamond's mother picking Berries and takes her hostage. When Diamond arrives at the Lake to rescue his mother, he finds out that he's too late; Mars has already found her. Mars introduces herself as one of the three Team Galactic Commanders chosen by Cyrus, and offers Diamond a chance to watch the Lake's upcoming explosion; an offer he refuses.

During the ensuing battle, Johanna manages to escape to safety while Diamond takes to the skies with Mars following him. Mars easily overpowers him in the air long enough for the countdown to reach “0” and waits for the Lake's imminent explosion. Despite being disappointed that her Lake wasn't the one blown up, she continues her plans and successfully captures and takes her leave. However, unbeknownst to her, Dia had snuck on the Airship and is on his way to the Team Galactic HQ.

She later appears at the Team Galactic HQ along with her fellow Commanders Saturn and Jupiter, who were also successful in their attempts in capturing and, respectively.

Later, Mars and her teammates are joined by another member of Team Galactic, Sird. Sird explains to them that she had infiltrated Team Rocket on a mission, but failed.

Mars and the others comply, and they each face a different opponent in a one-on-one battle. Mars faces Cheryl in battle, while Jupiter faces Marley, and Saturn faces Mira. During the battle, the two seem evenly matched, and they constantly stop each other's strategies.

The battle is interrupted by Giratina, who flies past them so that it can fight the other Legendary Pokémon in the area. After Charon is defeated, Mars, her fellow Commanders, and Cyrus emerge from the Distortion World and into the real world. Charon tries to lie to Cyrus by claiming that he intended to gather the Legendary Pokémon for Team Galactic's sake. Cyrus reaches down to Charon, which Mars and Saturn think means he's going to pinch him. However, Cyrus only takes his machine, and praises Charon for his technological genius. The records reveal that he has been using it since the battle on the Spear Pillar, which angers Saturn into figuring out that he was attempting to use the machine to control Dialga and Palkia into opening a hole to the Distortion World, to which Charon denies.

Cyrus speaks to his four Commanders once more and reveals that he is disbanding Team Galactic, which angers Jupiter because she, Mars, and Saturn will have nowhere else to go without him.
