 * Akala Outskirts
 * Before battle
 * "So, you're the one Gladion was talking about? ...Hmph. You don't look like anything special to me."
 * "I'm Plumeria."
 * "I help keep Team Skull together. I'm like a big sister to all these numskulls. You have realized what idiots all these guys are, right?"
 * "But don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness? You know what I mean, right? You picking on my cute, dumb brothers and sisters is really annoying me!"


 * Upon being defeated
 * "Phooey."


 * After being defeated
 * "Hmmph! You're pretty strong. I'll give you that. But mess with anyone in Team Skull again, and I'll show you how serious I can get."


 * Before battle
 * "Back so soon, hmm? I wasn't expecting you just yet."
 * "It takes these dumb way too long to deal with you kids..."
 * "So I guess it's my turn now!"
 * "What? I told you before. Next time you get in our way, I'm not holding anything back!"
 * "What? I told you before. Next time you get in our way, I'm not holding anything back!"


 * Upon being defeated
 * "Hmmph! I can't even stand myself right now!"


 * After being defeated
 * "Hmmph. Guess you are pretty tough. Now I understand why my Grunts waste so much time battling kids."
 * "But if you want us to return the Pokémon, then you'll have to come to us. Alone. The boss is dying to meet you, hmmph! See you at our base in Po Town!"


 * Aether House (flashback)
 * "Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."
 * "It's fine. There's nothing more for us to take from you."
 * "Which reminds me..."
 * "Maybe we're not the only ones around here who could be called Pokémon thieves. Is that what you are, huh? A thief?"


 * Ancient Poni Path
 * "That's enough. No one wants to see a sore loser."
 * "Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right?"
 * "You really ready to do this finally?"
 * "To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though."
 * "See, Guzma... he really likes the president. She's the only adult who ever seemed to see how strong he was."
 * "You know...deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions."
 * "Bring Guzma back, if you can. I know you've got no reason to help... but no one can make up for what they've done if they're gone."
 * "And you, . Looks like you were special after all. You didn't just stand up to Team Skull. You even took on the darkness inside Aether. Looks like you're the real deal. The realest Pokémon Trainer I've seen around. Take good care of our little princess here. This is my way of saying sorry, OK? Take it. It's Poisonium Z."
 * "Oh yeah... you got your first stone directly from, didn't you, ? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them. If you ever forget that, you'll bring the wrath of the tapu down upon yourself. You should be fine, though."
 * "I'm out of here."


 * First challenge
 * Before battle
 * "Those old dudes Molayne and Nanu somehow talked me into doing this. I'm starting from scratch as a Pokémon Trainer and doing it right this time. I've got a Z-Ring and everything, so I might actually be able to live up to their expectations."

 * Upon being defeated
 * "Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"


 * After being defeated
 * "Even when I give it my all, I'm nothing compared to you! Maybe my Pokémon and I need to go through more together to deepen our friendship. I'm out of here, Champ."


 * Subsequent challenges
 * Before battle
 * "My team and I are battling for all the Pokémon we took out on our way here!"


 * Upon being defeated
 * "Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"


 * After being defeated
 * "I failed again...like I always do. I promised myself I wouldn't! I told myself I would never fail again! It's all right to feel a little jealous, right? How else am I supposed to get stronger? My team and I really did take out so many Pokémon to make it here!"


 * Battle Tree

 * "That big dummy... I don't think he's even aware of it, but... Alola really means a lot to him. That's why he's doing something so reckless to try to save it. The Z-Crystal... Maybe it'll help you somehow."
 * "I guess giving you this Z-Crystal is also kind of, what did you call it, helping each other? Oh yeah... You got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, ? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Power Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them.

Much like in the, Plumeria is referred to as "Big Sis" by the grunts.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Plumeria debuts in the. She is first seen attacking Gladion after the latter arrived at Po Town for the first time in order to see if he was really skilled enough to be Team Skull's Enforcer. Though Gladion proves to be strong enough for the role, his negative attitude angers Plumeria to the point where she refuses to accept him as a true member of Team Skull.

Later, Po Town is infiltrated by five of Alola's Trial Captains and Hau. Overhearing the commotion the group made when they confronted the Grunts, Plumeria and Guzma revealed themselves demanding to know why their base was being intruded.

As he said this, a, , and appear to attack the Captains' group.

The three Ultra Beasts proceed to rampage, attacking anything in sight. Surprised to see that the Captains' Pokémon survived the battle, Guzma revealed he was in possession of a, which he has open two Ultra Wormholes in order to summon more Ultra Beasts. The beasts continue rampaging with no regard for friend or foe, attacking even the Grunts. The Grunts beg Guzma to get the beasts to stop, but Guzma states that he has no control over them and they'll just continue to destroy everything on their own.

Gladion then arrives and reveals his true goal is to destroy the Ultra Beasts. Gladion battles the beasts with his, which easily gets the upper hand due to it being created by the Aether Foundation to fight Ultra Beasts. Gladion reveals to everyone that Guzma received Cosmog and the Ultra Beasts from Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation. To Plumeria and Guzma's surprise, the Guzma summoned earlier begins attacking them as well. The attack sends Guzma flying while Plumeria is knocked unconscious.

Later, Plumeria arrived at Vast Poni Canyon, where she confronted Faba, demanding that he tell her where Guzma was taken to after the he summoned dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. When Faba tried to feign ignorance, Plumeria revealed she had a that evolved from the Cosmog Guzma received from the Aether Foundation.

Immediately after, and, a member of the International Police, arrived. Faba, worried that his plans could be jeopardized, had the s with him battle Moon and Anabel as a distraction. During the commotion, Cosmoem flew out of Plumeria's hands and into the air, where it encountered Nebby.

While Faba chased after the two Cosmoem, Plumeria, Moon, and Anabel traveled by air and secretly followed his movements. Near the Poni Altar, Faba revealed he knew he was being followed and attacked his pursuers. While Moon and Anabel dealt with the Employees, Faba told Plumeria that he would be perfectly willing to help her find Guzma if she assisted him in taking over the Aether Foundation.
