Sina is met alone at Anistar City to tell the player about a person there who knows about XerneasX/YveltalY. The player meets them again in their disguises in Lysandre Labs, where they ask if the player has seen a man as tall as a stretched-out Seviper that Team Flare has been searching for.

Pokémon Adventures
X & Y arc
Sina first appeared in Kangaskhan...Kangascan't. She and Dexio were first seen being called by Professor Sycamore to make a copy of the footage of Vaniville Town's destruction so that Lysandre may study it.
In What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes, Sina and Dexio were sent to find Professor Sycamore's missing Charmander, which had escaped from his lab. They found Charmander with X and his friends. Mistaking the children for thieves, Sina and Dexio took Charmander, but were stopped by Tierno, who used his Roller Skates to take Charmander back. After Tierno explained that they were merely returning Charmander to its proper owner, Sina and Dexio excused themselves and left.
In Zygarde Appears, Sina and Dexio infiltrated Lysandre Café. There, they defeated a disguised Team Flare Grunt and interrogated him for information on Team Flare's whereabouts. After getting what they wanted, Sina and Dexio reported to Professor Sycamore that Team Flare went into hiding at the Pokémon Village.
In Floette Returns, after Team Flare's defeat, Professor Sycamore had Sina and Dexio sent to Alola to investigate the Zygarde Cells that have been spotted around the region.
Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc
In A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, Sina and Dexio arrived on Ula'ula Island. In the five months that passed since they arrived in Alola, the duo managed to gather sixty percent of Zygarde's Cells. Later, they spotted Sun using Stoutland Search and decided to ask him to help find the missing Cells.
In Confusion and Monsters from Another World, Sina and Dexio infiltrated the Aether House, where they met Sun and requested that he help them find Zygarde's Cells. While he was initially reluctant, Sun agreed after Sina and Dexio offered to pay him a large amount of money for each Cell he found. After receiving a Zygarde Cube to store the Cells in as well as a Mecha Fletchling to keep in touch with Sina and Dexio, Sun set off.
In Darkness!! The Mysterious Claws of Necrozma!, Sina and Dexio introduced Samson Oak to the Reassembly Unit at the Aether Base on Route 16, which they planned to use to control Zygarde's forms. Later, Sina, Dexio, Samson, and Lillie set off to Mount Lanakila to investigate an Ultra Wormhole that appeared above the area. Before they could leave, a large swarm of Zygarde Cells and a Core converged into the Reassembly Unit and emerged as a Complete Forme Zygarde. Shortly afterward, Sun emerged from the wormhole and was rescued by Zygarde. Sina and the others traveled to Mount Lanakila, where they found an injured Lunala and Lusamine. After Lillie helped free her mother from the Nihilego she was fused with, Lusamine fainted. Sun tried getting Zygarde to take Lusamine to a hospital, only to notice that Necrozma had arrived.
Sun and Samson stayed behind to battle Necrozma while Sina and Dexio took Lillie and Lusamine to a safer place. They tried taking an elevator to the base of the mountain, only for Dexio to be hit by a poison arrow fired by Plumeria, who had disguised herself as Moon. In Regeneration!! The Power of the Sun and the Moon!, both Sina and Dexio's Pokémon were taken out, where it was then up to Lillie to stop Plumeria. Once her Salazzle was taken down, Sina apprehended Plumeria.
