Pokémon Adventures
Belle & Pa first appeared inKnowledge of the Unown I, where they were shown working at thePokémon News Press, with Pa being the editor-in-chief. Pa took a picture ofDiamond,Pearl, andPlatinum while trying to photograph a pair ofUnown that were hovering over their heads to make a scoop of the discovery of a "previously undiscovered" species, but was dismayed to find out it was far from undiscovered when Platinum listed various details about it.
InKnowledge of the Unown II, Belle & Pa printed a comic starring the comedy duo Diamond and Pearl, much to Pearl's annoyance.
Belle & Pa made a cameo inDouble Trouble with Dialga and Palkia V, having been transported toIron Island by the distortions in space and time caused byDialga andPalkia's battle at theSpear Pillar.
