'''Lorelei''' is a powerful Pokémon trainer and the first member of the Elite Four who must be battled in the first generation ''[[Portal: Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' games. She hails from [[Sevii Islands|Four Island]] and specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.

'''Lorelei''' was a powerful Pokémon trainer who hailed from Four Island. She specialized in Ice-type Pokémon and became a member of the Elite Four.

Lorelei was raised on Four Island. She met a [[Lapras]] as a child in the island's Icefall Cave and eventually caught it. She grew up to become a powerful trainer who was known for having a logical, cool and calculated fighting style. She eventually managed to become a member of the Elite Four that was shared between the regions of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. In ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon: Red, Green, Blue]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version|Yellow]]'', ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', she was the first member of the Elite Four to be battled. She bragged about the might of her Ice-type Pokémon, but she was ultimately defeated by [[Blue]] and later [[Red]].  
+
Lorelei was the first member of the Elite Four whom [[Red]] (and previously [[Green]]) battled in ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon: Red, Green, Blue]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version|Yellow]]'', ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', and she was defeated.  
  
In ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', she returned to her home on Four Island after those battles. Several [[Team Rocket]] agents were stealing Pokémon from the island's Icefall Cave, but Lorelei was able to defeat them with the aid of Red. Lorelei spent some time at her home afterwards. She started to feel conflicted, because her duties as an Elite Four member kept her from attending to her home island's problems. After Red cleared up the Team Rocket problem, Lorelei decided to return to the Pokémon League and stated that although she felt unsure about the future, she would do what she could in the present. She soon returned to Indigo Plateau and was available for rematches, this time with new Pokémon in her roster.
+
Afterwards, she returned to her home on Four Island. Several Team Rocket agents were stealing Pokémon from the island's Icefall Cave, but Lorelei was able to defeat them with the aid of Red. Lorelei took some time off at her house, now facing a moral quandary - as her duties serving with the Elite Four in Indigo Plateau contrasted with her loyalty to her home, which needed her protection. Lorelei ultimately returned to Indigo Plateau and continued to battle Red whenever he rechallenged the Elite Four.
  
Lorelei was no longer a member of the Elite Four in the second generation games, with [[Will (Pokemon)|Will]] taking her place as the first member of the Eltie Four. Considering the doubts she expressed in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', it is likely that she eventually resigned to dedicate herself to Four Island's protection.
+
Lorelei was no longer a member of the Elite Four in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon: Gold, Silver,]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]''. It can be assumed from the doubts she expressed in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' that she later retired to protect Four Island full time.
 
 
===Let's Go!===
 
 
 
Within the ''[[Pokémon: Let's Go!|Let's Go!]]'' remakes, Lorelei made an early appearance at Route 10. She was riding her Lapras down the river, when she witnessed the young trainer [[Chase/Elaine]] being accosted by members of Team Rocket. Lorelei helped the trainer to fend off the grunts and encouraged them in their Pokémon journey. In these versions, she was defeated by [[Trace (Pokemon)|Trace]] and later Chase/Elaine, and she could be challenged to rematches afterwards.

In ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]'', Lorelei and her Lapras appeared as a playable sync pair that could be recruited at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature. She could alternately be recruited when paired with Cloyster during limited time periods starting in April 2023. When battled as an opponent, she has also used different Pokémon such as Slowbro and Dewgong. In the game's Main Story, she initially appeared during the PML Arc as an opponent faced during the [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament in Chapter 13 of the Main Story, where she had formed a team with [[Clair]]. She noted that Clair was more overconfident than Lance, but that also made her entertaining to be around. She also played a role in the Kanto chapter of the Villain Arc, where she helped to look for Red when he went missing. Lorelei also appeared in an extra scene for the Story Event "Team Skull Crash Course", where she bumped into [[Plumeria]] and came to see her as a kindred spirit due to her shared interest in stuffed animals. She was also featured in Part 1 of "Trainer Files: Kanto Elite Four", in which she and Bruno battled each other after an argument about who was stronger, and they proceeded to battle [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] for interrupting their battle with their own argument comparing which of their Pokémon were harder. The two of them then ended up training with Lance and Agatha in Part 2 of the event. Lorelei was also featured as part of the Kanto Challenge in the game's Champion Stadium mode, which mimicked the Elite Four line-up of the first generation games.

*In ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue''/''Yellow'', her room at the Pokémon League headquarters consisted of a floor surrounded by icy water, and a similar appearance was retained when it was Will's room in ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal''.
