In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Lana debuted in theGoing Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island. She, Mallow, and Kiawe traveled toHeahea City to meetSun, a boy approved to take part in theisland challenge. Curious about whether or not Sun was worthy enough to do the island challenge, Kiawe challenged him to a short battle. Though the match ended without a winner, Kiawe bonded with Sun and accepted him as a trialgoer. Lana was still reluctant and told the others to follow her toBrooklet Hill.
InTrue Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill, Lana gave Sun the task of defeating theTotem Pokémon causing havoc at Brooklet Hill. Later, Lana watched Sun battled the totem, aSchool FormWishiwashi. Due to having befriended Wishiwashi earlier, Sun was reluctant to fight it. This angered Lana, who compared it to herself and pointed out that despite appearances, Wishiwashi was strong and didn't need to be protected. Listening to Lana's advice, Sun stopped holding back and defeated the totem, successfully completing his first trial.
InHomecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer, Lana and Sun were informed by Mallow that Kiawe had been attacked byGladion. Lana, Sun,Moon, and Mallow went toMemorial Hill, where they found an injured Kiawe. When a group ofTeam Skull Grunts appeared, Lana and Mallow stayed behind to battle them while the others went to protectTapu Lele from Gladion. After the Grunts were defeated, Lana and Mallow reunited with the others after they successfully helped Tapu Lele.
InFlash and Cosmog's Secret, Lana and the others met at Mallow's family restaurant, where they talked toProfessor Kukui's wife,Professor Burnet, over a video phone. After suspectingTeam Skull may be related to theUltra Wormholes appearing around Alola, Lana suggested infiltrating Team Skull's base inPo Town to get answers. Mallow and Kiawe reluctantly agreed, but the former suggested askingIlima andAcerola to help them.
InA Raid and Po Town, Lana, Kiawe, Mallow, Acerola, Ilima, andHau arrived at Po Town. Their presence alerted Team Skull's boss,Guzma, who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When the captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned aPheromosa,Celesteela, andGuzzlord and had them attack the captains and Hau. Despite their best efforts, Lana and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging beasts.
InConfusion and Monsters from Another World, Sun arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed the captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed aCosmog and had it open more wormholes. Gladion appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with hisType: Null. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed theAether Foundation's president,Lusamine, was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all ofUla'ula Island. Lana and the other captains headed off to various locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.
InAdventure in the Dark Dimension, the captains andisland kahunas were revealed to have spent six months onExeggutor Islandtraining to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. After their training was finished,Sophocles andMolayne took everyone toMount Lanakila, where a wormhole had opened up earlier. Shortly after they arrived, their ship was attacked by a group of Aether Foundation Employees and their Ultra Beasts. With theZ-Moves they had acquired, Lana and the others managed to defeat the Ultra Beasts.
Normally, Lana is very shy and timid, but she takes on a more serious and violent persona when in battle. Kiawe refers to this transformation as Lana's (Japanese:バトルモードbattle mode). According to Lana, this personality shift actually scares her younger sisters.
