Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Crystal first met Monlee when she was training to be a capture pro. It is there where an Arcanine was rampaging out of control due to an eye injury. Due to this, Crystal fell and broke her arms. Monlee and Bonee decided to intervene and attack the Arcanine to drive him away. After Crystal woke up they led her to the Arcanine and she managed to calm him down. Crystal added him to her team after the incident and Monlee became her arms until she recovered.

Monlee first showed up in Slugging It Out with Slugma alongside Crystal's other Pokémon to help prove her capturing skills to Professor Oak. Monlee was used in the next chapter to battle a Chikorita that wanted to join Crystal's team. Chikorita used Razor Leaf and became shocked when Monlee punched the leaves away. Monlee then used Mega Punch and broke the ground up.

Crystal then added Chikorita to her team.
