Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Wicke was revealed to be a founding member of theAether Foundation inThe Secret Princess, alongsideFaba, and married coupleLusamine andMohn. Following Mohn's disappearance during anUltra Wormhole experiment, Wicke has remained by Lusamine's side to support her through her grief.

Wicke debuted inA Dream Encounter!. She, along with Lusamine,Professor Burnet, and Faba, investigated theAltar of the Sunne due toUltra Aura being detected from that location, but they were unable to find anything there. She later accompanied Lusamine and Professor Burnet toProfessor Kukui's house onMelemele Island, where she metAsh andNebby.

InDeceiving Appearances!, she guided Ash andhis classmates throughAether Paradise during their visit to the facility. Wicke appeared again inFaba's Revenge!, in which she informed Lusamine and Professor Burnet about Faba's still unknown whereabouts. She was later seen escortingGladion to his mother's office. InFamily Determination!, she arrived at the Aether Paradise labs, where she witnessed Lusamine's abduction.

Following Lusamine's rescue, Wicke attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet inThe Professors' New Adventure!. Later, she, alongside Lusamine and Faba, invited Ash and his classmates to join theUltra Guardians, a task force dedicated to capturingUltra Beasts, which they accepted. Starting inA Mission of Ultra Urgency!, Wicke, along with Lusamine and Professor Burnet, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as Ultra Guardians. She also accompanies them when the caught Ultra Beast gets released back intoUltra Space.

Wicke briefly reappeared inThe Shape of Love to Come!. She was seen with Lusamine and Faba, when Ash, Professor Burnet, and Professor Kukui contacted them to inform them aboutPoipole's habit of putting its feelings into its drawings, which she described as romantic.

InFilling the Light with Darkness!, mysterious dark clouds appeared overAlola, leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. After doing some research, Wicke, Lusamine, Faba, and Professor Burnet found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use theirZ-Moves to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's exact location. Inthe next episode, Wicke and the others witnessedLunala andNecrozma emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Burnet, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.

Later, after the Ultra Guardians left for Ultra Space with a fully recovered Lunala, Wicke stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Burnet. They tried to find out a way to communicate with the task force after their connection got lost. She finally managed to regain contact with the Ultra Guardians inthe next episode, allowing Burnet to inform them of her findings. Wicke then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to itstrue form. After Necrozma returned to itsUltra form, Wicke watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Burnet, Faba, and Kukui.

InDon't Ignore the Small Stufful!, Wicke was revealed to be close to aStufful, which went missing atAether Paradise. She revealed that she found it trapped under a fallen tree and brought it to Aether Paradise to recover. The group eventually found Stufful clinging ontoJessie's hair and watched asBewear grabbed them. Wicke then realized that Bewear was Stufful's mother and happily watched their reunion before Bewear took Team Rocket and Stufful back to her den.

During theManalo Conference, Wicke watched the battles, alongside Lusamine, Professor Burnet, and later Faba. When threeGuzzlord arrived through Ultra Wormholes and began wreaking havoc atManalo Stadium, Wicke helped monitor the situation while Ash, his classmates, Gladion, Hau, Kukui, and theisland kahunas teamed up to defeat the Junkivore Pokémon and send them back to Ultra Space. Following the incident, she watched the exhibition match between Ash and Professor Kukui.

InThank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Wicke said goodbye to Lusamine and her children, taking one last group photo with them before they left on their journey to find Mohn. She was later seen working at Aether Paradise, alongside Faba andRotom.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

InHelping the Hometown Hero!, Wicke greeted Lusamine and her family on their return to Alola and was reunited with Mohn. The next day, she and Faba acted as commentators during theBattle Royal match between Professor Kukui, Ash, Gladion, andKiawe.

Wicke debuted inShipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!". She andFaba met withMoon,Professor Kukui, andProfessor Burnet. Wicke explained that the three were rescued by theAether Foundation after being attacked by awildBruxish and left lost at sea. Faba revealed that they were taken toAether Paradise and offered to give them a tour of the place.

Six months later, Faba had managed to take control over the Aether Foundation. When Lusamine went missing, Wicke and anAether Foundation Employee managed to locate her onPoni Island playing with a group ofUltra Beasts. Their attempts to dock on the island were thwarted by aCelesteela, forcing them to return to theAether House onUla'ula Island and meet up withGladion andLillie. When Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, Wicke refused due to the boy's injuries. Wicke decided the best option was for her and the Employee to return to Aether Paradise and gather information.

Later, Wicke and the Employee returned to Poni, only to find Lusamine and the Ultra Beasts gone. After returning to shore, Wicke encounteredMina and an injuredGuzma. Mina had come to Poni to meet with the otherTrial Captains, but mistakenly went to the wrong location.
