In the Anime
Due to a dubbing error, Lorelei was referred to as Prima in the English version of the anime.
While on Mandarin Island, Ash learned that Lorelei was going to be giving a lecture. Misty was very excited, as Lorelei was her idol.
Ash enthusiastically challenged her, but Lorelei didn't seem to take notice of him, unimpressed by the young trainer. Lorelei did, however, invite them to her lecture and demonstration.
Lorelei finally agreed to a battle, that Ash lost horribly. Lorelei said that Ash had the potential to become great, but needed to find more inner strength.
Lorelei had a sort of dreamy, spaced-out personality and often reacted slowly to things.
Her strategy in life is to go with the flow, like water, but to become as hard as ice in battle.
She sells recordings of her lectures at high prices.
