− | + | Over the course of the two years, Elesa underwent a makeover.

− | Elesa underwent a shift in wardrobe and in hair, which she dyed black. While most gym leaders remodeled their gyms over the course of time between games, Elesa instead left her old gym to function as a normal roller coaster, and she founded a new gym elsewhere in Nimbasa's amusement park. The new gym was a club-like environment with a catwalk which she and her trainers used to perform fashion shows. In ''Black and White 2'', she was challenged and defeated by [[Nate/Rosa]]. Upon being defeated, she surrendered the Bolt Badge as well as TM70: Volt Switch. | + | Elesa underwent a shift in wardrobe and in hair, which she dyed black.

She referred to Nate/Rosa as a shining example of a trainer who could shine even brighter by winning against the rest of the Pokémon League. |
Elesa also appeared as an opponent in several divisions of the Pokémon World Tournament. Most obviously, she is part of the Unova Leaders Tournament as well as the World Leaders Tournament. She is also a potential opponent for the Driftveil Tournament and for the electric-type choice in the Type Experts division. | Elesa also appeared as an opponent in several divisions of the Pokémon World Tournament.

*Elesa appeared in several episodes of the ''Pokémon'' anime during the ''Black and White'' series. Her first appearance featured one of her modeling shows, which Ash and [[Bianca]] attended in hopes of challenging her. Elesa was impressed enough with Ash's [[Pikachu]] that she let it walk down the runway. She soon battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and defeated all her Pokémon using just her Zebstrika.
