Quotes
Pokémon X and Y
- First meeting
- "Or, with a contribution of just$5,000,000, you could become a member of Team Flare. It's a no-brainer!"
- Before battle
- "So lame! That's just embarrassing from an admin! Still, no worries. We're on it! This pair of scientists will clean up after you."
- "One kid or two, it doesn't make a lot of difference. When we're the ones fighting together, our odds of victory increase exponentially!"
- "Double Battles let you cover each other's weaknesses."
- Being defeated
- "No way! Wow, we are lame."
- After being defeated
- "So lame! What a shame! We got beat!"
- Before battle
- "Huh?"
- "Huh?"
- "So who ishe/she?"
- "Yup. That sounds good to me. Then I'll get in the first blow!"
- Being defeated
- "Ah ha ha ha! You beat us good. Wow, we are sooo lame."
- After being defeated
- "What's this?! Who would have thought a child like you could beat us both? You and your Pokémon were utterly in sync in that battle, and I know why. You're here for answers, aren't you? I suppose we're at your mercy. I will tell you what I know, at least."
- "In reality, those stones that lineRoute 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When theultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon. Their lives were the price of peace then. And if we want to make our own wishes come true today, we in Team Flare also have to sacrifice something precious."

History
In the past, Celosia, alongsideLysandre and the otherTeam Flare Scientists, would help those in need, until Lysandre became disillusioned with thehuman race and sought to restart the world.
Celosia debuted inFrom A to Z!. She was first seen leading a group ofTeam Flare Grunts to recapture theZygarde Core that hadescaped fromLysandre Labs. She managed to find theZygarde Core, but thanks toAsh,his friends, andSawyer's interference, she was unable to retrieve it. When she later informedXerosic of what had happened, she was told thatBryony had been tasked with capturingthe Core as well. During the following night, Celosia led yet another group of Grunts in an attempt to capture the Core, but with Ash and Sawyer coveringSerena,Clemont, andBonnie's retreat, she was once again unsuccessful.
InMeeting at Terminus Cave!, Celosia teamed up with Bryony to retrieve the Core (now called Squishy by Bonnie) inTerminus Cave. After a prolonged struggle, during whichTeam Rocket interfered as well, Team Flare was forced to retreat, as they were unable to defeatAsh's Greninja and Squishy had fled. In thenext episode, she, along with Bryony and several Grunts, monitored sensors to find Squishy. Celosia and Bryony also ordered two Grunts to watch Ash and his friends. Later, the sensors caught energy waves coming from Squishy andZ2, and managed to determine Squishy's location. However, they were unable to make it in time and lost sight of Squishy, as it had stopped emitting energy waves. Celosia and Bryony then ordered the pursuit squad to withdraw, as they thought Squishy probably wouldn't return to Ash and his friends, and decided to narrow their search.
InA Towering Takeover!, during Team Flare's attack onLumiose City, Celosia appeared before Ash andAlain. Celosia revealed she was ordered to capture Ash and told him about Alain's affiliation with Team Flare. She then had her Drapion useConfuse Ray on Ash andPikachu, making them lose consciousness, allowing Team Flare to capture them. Inthe following episode, Celosia was seen at Lysandre Labs withMable, where the two saw the helicopter, containing Serena,Mairin,Professor Sycamore, and Team Rocket, nearing their hideout through their security cameras. Upon the infiltration of their base, inthe next episode, Celosia went to stop Serena and the rest. She and her Drapion then faced Team Rocket in battle. Celosia continued battling inRocking Kalos Defenses! and was now joined by Mable and herWeavile. However, the two Scientists were quickly defeated and subdued in Team Rocket's net trap.

Pokémon Adventures
Celosia debuted inX-actly What They Wanted. She,Bryony, andXerosic were first seen watching the destruction ofVaniville Town caused by the battle betweenXerneas andYveltal.
InKangaskhan...Kangascan't, Celosia approachedShauna while disguised as aFurfrou stylist. She tricked Shauna into trimming a Furfrou illusion and handed the girl aHonedge, claiming it was a tool used by novices. Honedge took control of Shauna, putting her under mind control. Later that night, Celosia had the possessed Shauna steal theKangaskhanite belonging toX'sKanga. With help fromKorrina, another user ofMega Evolution, X retrieved theMega Stone, enabling him to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga. Concluding that she had no chance of defeating two Mega Evolution users, Celosia decided the best option was to run away.
InShooting Frogadier, Celosia met withMalva onRoute 9. They discussed a plan to mind control kidnapped Vaniville Town residents and have them transport the dormant tree form of Xerneas to theTeam Flare Secret HQ. While separated from her friends,Y accidentally walked into the area, allowing her to eavesdrop on the conversation and learn of Team Flare's scheme. Sensing Y's presence, Celosia tried attacking her with Honedge, but only managed to cut off a chunk of Y's hair after she was saved by herFroakie,Croaky. By evolving into aFrogadier and startling a herd of wildRhyhorn, Croaky convinced Celosia that no one else was there. Later, Celosia returned to the Secret HQ, where she had Aegislash take control of the Vanville residents.
InTying Trevenant, Celosia andEssentia arrived atRoute 8, where the operation to move Xerneas began. Upon noticing a piece of Y's hair stuck to her Honedge's sash, Celosia realized that someone was spying on her and Malva. Recognizing the hair as her daughter's,Grace tried taking it from Celosia, only to be knocked to the ground. Seeing her mother in danger, Y and her friends immediately leapt in to stop Team Flare. X attempted to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga andÉlec at the same time, but failed, giving Essentia the chance to capture everyone with herTrevenant. Celosia tried to kill X, but was stopped by the timely arrival of Korrina,Diantha, andGurkinn.
InChanging Gengar, Celosia was tasked with getting Xerneas to the base while Malva and Essentia fought the heroes. Along the way, Celosia was attacked by Korrina and herLucario. Though it fainted in the process, Lucario managed to take down both Celosia and her Aegislash while freeing the townspeople from Aegislash's control. As she stood victorious, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's Honedge sneaking up behind her to launch a sneak attack. Korrina was knocked out, allowing Celosia to continue her mission to transport Xerneas. Before she left, Celosia stole Korrina's Key Stone, which was later given to Malva, who fastened it into a Mega Ring forLysandre to use.
InGyarados Changes, Celosia and the other female scientists watched as X tried to infiltrate the Team Flare Secret HQ. Noting Celosia's continued usage of Aegislash had left her mentally unstable, Bryony knocked Celosia unconscious to prevent her from losing control of herself.
InCharizard Transforms, Celosia and the other female scientists each intercepted Y and her friends to prevent them from reaching thePokémon Village. Celosia picked Shauna as her opponent. Later, Shauna'sKitty managed to take down Celosia'sDoublade. Celosia tried to influence Shauna with Aegislash again, only for Korrina's Lucario to appear, revealing it was keeping Shauna safe with itsAura. Shauna then commanded Lucario to attack Celosia, defeating her and avenging Korrina at the same time.
