She could be unlocked at random through the Sync Pair Scout feature, and her Nosepass could evolve into Probopass through a Sync Pair Story in which she had to defeat [[Brawly]] in a battle. She was also featured as a teammate in the Story Event "The Girl in Black and White", where she was waiting in line to try a Casteliacone with [[Hilbert/Hilda|Hilda]] and [[Scottie/Bettie|the player]]. While taking parts in battles with [[Team Break]] and another trainer, they realized that they disagreed about their different battle styles, as Roxanne felt that Hilda was too reckless. After the Casteliacones sold out while they were still in line, they battled [[Thorton]] to get the Casteliacones that he had. They won, but the cones had melted. Still, Roxanne saw that they worked together well regardless of their different battle styles, and they decided to wait in line together again on the next day. |

− | *Roxanne | + | *Roxanne appears in two subsequent episodes of the Pokémon anime. The first episode shows her teaching at the Pokémon Trainer's School in addition to her job as the gym leader and giving [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and his friends a tour of the school. The second episode shows her gym battle with Ash which Ash wins with the help of [[Pikachu]]'s new Iron Tail attack. |
− | *Roxanne | + | *Roxanne appears in various chapters of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga during the ''Ruby''/''Sapphire'' arc. She first appears when [[May|Sapphire]] challenges her gym. However because of the inflow of challengers Roxanne is shown to subject potential challengers to written tests with only the highest scorers being allowed to battle her. She also has somewhat of an elitist attitude, although Sapphire is able to pass her test despite trouble reading and defeats her in battle by taking advantage of the weaknesses in [[Nosepass]]'s magnetic abilities. She is then seen at the gym leaders' meeting, initially supporting [[Team Aqua]] due to the support they give to her colleague [[Professor Cozmo]]. After [[Groudon]] and [[Kyogre]] awaken, Roxanne is part of the team sent after Groudon, but she winds up battling [[Team Magma]] member Courtney and is defeated after she takes some civilians hostage. Roxanne later reappeared in the ''Omega Ruby''/''Alpha Sapphire'' arc, where she was among the trainers who helped in the effort to stop Grand Meteor Delta. |
