Quotes
Victory Road
- "...I'm Marley. ...You are? Oh... <player>, will you help me, please? I want to get through this tunnel. Will you let me go with you?"
- "...Pokémon shouldn't be hurt... I'll heal them..."
- "...You're going back... Too bad... Bye-bye..."
- "...You took so long... Please don't make me wait... I felt a little forlorn waiting..."
- "...Oh! This is it. There's a stone tablet ahead... I wanted to see the Pokémon that visits, that's all... ...I appreciate your escorting me... ...Just a little..."
- "... You're very chatty..."
- "...The Pokémon among flowers..."
Route 224
- "I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up... That's why I think this certain Pokémon is so wonderful. It's a Pokémon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way..."
- "That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it..."
- "Thank you... That must have been the Pokémon that conveys the feelings of gratitude... You made it so I could see it... So, I'll have to convey thanks in my own words, too..."
- "To you, too... Thank you..."'
The Battleground
- "I... is it okay to battle?"
- No: ...Oh? ... You can be that mean?"
- "...So? ...Are we going to battle?"
- Yes: "...OK. I'll do my best."
- "...My time with you is drawing to a close."
- "...Awww."
- "...You're so strong. It makes me feel happy. ...I don't know why. This is a strange feeling..."
The Battleground (variant)
- "...Oh? A battle? With me?"
- No: "...Oh, you. I'm getting to dislike you a little."
- "...If you won't battle, I might not come back..."
- Yes: "...OK. I... won't lose...!"
- "...My time with you is drawing to a close."
- "...Awww."
- "...I might like battling with you. ...Just a little. Only a tiny bit."
In the anime
Marley made her debut appearance in Keeping In Top Forme!. She was spotted unconscious floating down a river in a boat by Brock. He called out to her trying to warn her of an on coming waterfall, but she did not respond. He jumped in the river to stop the boat then used Happiny to pull them out of the water. Afterwards, Marley finally wakes up and introduces herself.
Because Brock saved her, Marley asks him to escort her to a flower field. Ash and friends eventually discovered that Marley was harboring an injured Shaymin. She explains that she was approached by Shaymin because it was being attacked by a trio of thugs who wanted to take Shaymin.
Marley eventually gets to the flower field that has Gracideas and Shaymin is about to transform into its Sky Forme. There it defeats Team Rocket and is reunited with its friends. Marley then bids Shaymin farewell. As Shaymin leaves, Marley informs Ash and company that it said goodbye to her telepathically.

Shaymin
|
Marley befriended and sheltered Shaymin when it was attacked by Team Rocket while traveling to a flower field to reunite with its friends. After meeting up with Ash and friends, Shaymin finally made it to the flower field and after making it to some hard-to-reach Gracideas transformed into its Sky Forme and sent Team Rocket blasting off. However the attack by Team Rocket had destroyed the Gracidea flowers and the ice that had been created to fend off Team Rocket forced Shaymin to transform back into Land Forme. All looked lost until Shaymin's friends arrived and some Gracidea flowers bloomed allowing Shaymin to transform again. After saying a fond farewell to Marley, Shaymin left with its friends.
Shaymin's known moves are Seed Flare, Aromatherapy and Air Slash.
