Emma debuts in the {{chap|X & Y}}. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but eventually ran away from her home to live as a street urchin in the Lumiose City alleyways. She befriended other homeless children and Pokémon that had similar experiences. Together, they banded together to form the Lumiose Gang with Emma serving as their leader. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his gang of friends. Due to her lack on knowledge of computers, Emma felt like a burden to Cassius, so she decided to take odd jobs to help her friends.

Emma first appears in the guise of Essentia at [[Shalour City]]. She attacks the [[Tower of Mastery]] in order to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. By keeping [[Korrina]] distracted upstairs with her {{p|Trevenant}}, Essentia interrogates [[Gurkinn]] on the bottom floor. When Gurkinn reveals that only his family and people he has entrusted a [[Mega Ring]] to know about it, Essentia begins attacking him. Gurkinn attempts to escape, but the injury he received from Trevenant's attacks prevents him from moving quickly. As Gurkinn is trapped into a corner surrounded by flames, Korrina comes down to save him. Gurkinn also sends out his {{p|Heracross}} and Mega Evolves it to attack Essentia's {{p|Phantump}}. Gurkinn and Korrina attempt to escape, but find that Trevenant has slowly be covering the tower in its roots, preventing any attempt at escape. Having no choice but to protect the secrets of Mega Evolution, Gurkinn and Korrina have their Pokémon activate the Tower of Mastery's self destruct switch, causing the tower to collapse and destroy itself. As the tower collapses, Essentia tells Gurkinn her name and denies his previous claim that she is a member of [[Team Flare]].

Emma debuts as herself at Cassius's house, where the latter introduces her to {{adv|X}} and his friends. She adopts an Espurr that used to belong to a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} that Cassius and X defeated, which she later names Mimi. She travels with Cassius and his friends as they travel around Kalos to maintain their systems of various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. Later, Cassius gets a call from his friends from his [[Holo Caster]], that Emma has gone missing, with the former stating that it's not the first time it has happened.  

Emma returns to [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] as Essentia to try out an upgraded version of the Expansion Suit. Later. she joins [[Celosia]] to help with Team Flare's operation to move {{p|Xerneas}}'s tree form to their base with the use of the captured Vaniville Town residents. While Celosia oversees the operation, Essentia is tasked with keeping out intruders. X and {{adv|Y}} arrive and attempt to stop this, but are defeated when Essentia's Trevenant manipulates the forest's plant life to prevent them from moving. As Celosia plans to finish the heroes off, X and Y are saved by Gurkinn, Korrina, and [[Diantha]], who attack Celosia and Essentia with their Mega Evolved Pokémon. Gurkinn helps free X's group with the assistance of his {{p|Gengar}}. He sends Gengar to battle Essentia's Trevenant, but none of its attacks manage to reach and eventually Gengar gives up in frustration and lounges next to a tree. Gurkinn decides to give Gengar to X, who accepts and names his new Pokémon Garma. X Mega Evolves Garma into Mega Gengar with his Mega Ring, giving it the power to easily sneak up from behind Trevenant and defeat it in one blow.

With her main Pokémon down, X's group surrounds Essentia now that they have the advantage and plan on opening her helmet to reveal her true identity. X's Pokémon proceed to attack, only to stop when Essentia's appearances changes to that of their Trainer. Xerosic is shocked that Essentia would use the Expansion Suit's untested texturing function. Essentia uses her suit to confuse her opponents even further and attempts to escape, only for a wild {{p|Klefki}} befriended by Y's mother to strike her from behind and cause the suit to malfunction. After shifting between different appearances, Essentia retreats under Xerosic's orders. Later, Emma travels to [[Laverre City]], where she reunites with Cassius. She watches X's friends as they train to prepare for future encounters with Team Flare.

When X heads to [[Geosenge Town]] to attack Team Flare at their headquarters, Emma follows after him due to Mimi secretly climbing into [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. She offers to help X stop Team Flare and assists by sending a pair of attacking Grunts flying with Mimi's power. When Emma tells X about her past and how she met Cassius's gang, X begins crying, only to deny it when Emma notices him. They travel inside the headquarters, but are separated when X accidentally steps on a [[warp tile]] that teleports him away. Emma continues exploring the base by herself and eventually reaches the underground portion, where she finds a [[AZ|giant man]] locked inside a jail cell. Emma befriends the giant man and learns that his name is AZ. When Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna head into the building to help X, they end up walking past AZ's cell. They are initially startled by AZ's imposing size, but Emma assures the three that he is a kind person. After breaking the cell door, Emma and AZ join the three and head into the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where X had already been defeated by [[Lysandre]]. Trevor and the others attempt to stop Lysandre from firing the ultimate weapon onto the Kalos region. They are unable to prevent the weapon from firing, but the combined efforts of X's friends and allies manage to prevent the loss of innocent lives. AZ has Xerneas take Emma and the others to the surface while he is captured and forced to be left behind.

 

At [[Anistar City]], Emma, as Essentia, sends a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} to attack [[Professor Sycamore]]. When X and his friends arrive, they defeat the Hawlucha and rescue Professor Sycamore. As Essentia watches from behind the Anistar Sundial, she begins to wonder if she should chance attempting to steal X and Y's [[Key Stone]]s, despite her mission to trace the whereabouts of "{{p|Zygarde|Z}}", which had been seen around Anistar. Before she can come to an answer, her suit begins malfunctioning, causing Emma to awaken before turning back into Essentia. When Y manages to find her, the two battle each other on the Anistar rooftops. During their clash, Essentia attempts to use her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to hack into Y's Xerneas's Poké Ball and take control of it. Y eventually gets separated from Essentia and wakes up in a Pokémon Center, where she takes the opportunity to heal her Pokémon, completely unaware that the Nurse is Essentia in disguise. While she is distracted, Essentia knocks Y unconscious and takes Xerneas's Poké Ball.

 

Using the Expansion Suit's texturing function, Essentia attempts to meet with X while disguised as Y. X quickly sees through this ruse and has his {{p|Pinsir}} damage Essentia's helmet with its horns, breaking the camouflage. Immediately afterward, Y arrives, having been found by her friends. With their Mega Rings, X and Y Mega Evolve their Pokémon to do battle with Essentia and retrieve Xerneas. With Xerneas now under her control, Essentia uses it to battle against X and Y. The battle is interrupted by the arrival of Zygarde, which begins attacking everyone. Essentia decides to shift her attention to Zygarde and attempts to capture it while it charges itself with the power of nature, leaving it completely defenseless while it does so. Although this causes her to lose control of Xerneas, Essentia manages to successfully capture Zygarde. Essentia escapes afterward, but the repeated damage her suit took in the battle prevents Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control Essentia.

 

 

 

X gives Emma a speech and tells her that despite how hard life is, she still has people that truly care about her and will be sad if they learn about the things she has done. Emma, hearing X's words, decides to stop working for Lysandre, but is still under his control due to the Expansion Suit. Cassius arrives and frees Emma by destroying the Expansion Suit's controller. Now free and in control of herself, Emma commands Zygarde to attack Lysandre, but is attacked by Lysandre's {{p|Gyarados}} before she can finish the command. Lysandre takes Zygarde's Poké Ball and assumes control over it by having it blow everyone away with Land's Wrath. Emma and Cassius survive the attack, but are left too injured to be able to battle.

 

After Lysandre and Team Flare are defeated, Cassius drives everyone back to Lumiose City. After arriving at their destination, Emma and Cassius wave X and his friends goodbye.
