InOne Journey Ends, Another Begins..., Anela picked up a doughnut that had fallen out of Ash'sbag. She went to give it back to Ash only for Litten to grab it and run off. Ash also visited her followingStoutland's disappearance. Anela gave him some Berries to deliver to Litten and instructed him to tell Litten it could come to the marketplace anytime.

Anela has attended multiple events at thePokémon School, including the Family Visit Day inAlolan Open House! and the school play inLillier and the Staff!.
