In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Dahlia first appears along with her fellow Frontier Brains, Palmer, Thorton, and Argenta in a meeting; afterward they go back to their facilities. Dahlia later appears at her facility, the Battle Arcade, when Platinum racks up enough wins that will allow her to challenge the Frontier Brain soon. After Platinum wins enough times, she becomes eligible to fight Dahlia. Due to an unexpected earthquake, Platinum is unable to stop the roulette in time and Dahlia does so instead, causing it to land on the Pokémon swap button.
Due to it landing on that button, Dahlia and Platinum switch their teams and begin battling. At first, Dahlia has the upper hand because of Platinum's refusal of harming her own Pokémon but, once she gains the resolve to do so, she manages to defeat the Arcade Star. Later, Dahlia helps Platinum with her research of the Distortion World and despite her "Que Sera, Sera" attitude, she throws a tantrum offscreen due to her loss to Platinum being her first one.
