Fennel and Munna in the anime

Fennel first appeared in Dreams by the Yard Full!. She used to work as a Scientist in the Dreamyard, a once research facility along with two unnamed scientists, researching on Musharna's Dream Mist for a cleaner energy source. However, due to people's evil thoughts and desires on the project, Musharna got corrupted and its Dream Mist turned black, causing an energy overload and creating a giant explosion, destroying the whole facility. Fennel, Munna and two unnamed scientists survived from the explosion, but has no signs of Musharna.

After the incident, she now lives as an independent scientist. She noticed her Munna was sensing something and then rushed to the Pokémon Center where she found Iris's Axew, who was put to sleep by Musharna. She used her Munna to wake it up by sucking off the Dream Mist to reveal Axew's dreams. The smoke spread all around Striaton City and they rushed to the Dreamyard.

Team Rocket had awakened Musharna and captured it, but Munna's Psychic and Pikachu's Volt Tackle destroyed the machine and they freed Musharna. After that, Fennel, Munna and Musharna were reunited.
